The exim documentation, both HTML and PDF, isn't supplied by upstream in the main exim package. It might be worth adding a separate ebuild for the documentation. Will Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try installing exim 2. Look for the docs 3. Fail to find them
So, this is a feature request for a USE=doc to exim? Is the documentation available as tar-ball somewhere that you know of?
There are PDF files for the current 4.72 on the exim.org site; the most recent tarball I can find on the exim mirrors is for 4.50. It provides HTML and texinfo format. (Actually it's a tarball and a patch file.) Since exim is no longer under active development, I'd have thought the best approach would be to stick the two PDF files into a separate exim-doc package on the Gentoo mirrors, pulled in by the 'doc' flag. Will
exim is quite a lot under development, not sure what you referred to here. I suggest to install the html documentation with USE=doc. Would that be enough for you?
implemented the last suggestion in exim-4.77
