Bug 30151 – can we add the "doc" USE flag to net-fs/samba?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tristan Henderson 2003-10-02 05:51:05 UTC]

samba is a pretty big package:

palmer / # etcat -s samba
[ Results for search key : samba ]
[ Applications found : 5 ]

 Only printing found installed programs.

* samba-3.0.0-r1
           Total Files : 997
            Total Size : 51168.19 KB

But 11 meg of this is documentation. I would prefer to lose some of the docs, so can we add the 
"doc" USE flag to the ebuild please? Then only those users who want the extra docs can install 
them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Changing the severity from "trivial" to "enhancement" - clicked the wrong
thing in the drop-down box :-)

coincidentally the samba team is looking at, if not already done a reorg
of their distribution tarballs by splitting docs from the rest, to shave
some download requirements.

i dont have a problem with making the docs an option; will do....

Thanks for the patch :)
It was included in the proposed ebuild for samba 3.0.4 (see bug 48871)
