I used the following code for finding packages that install examples
unconditionally:

pena doc # find /usr/share/doc/ -type d -name "examples" | xargs qfile
app-text/aspell (/usr/share/doc/aspell-0.60.3/examples)
sys-apps/sed (/usr/share/doc/sed-4.1.4/examples)
sys-apps/util-linux (/usr/share/doc/util-linux-2.12r-r1/examples)
sys-apps/busybox (/usr/share/doc/busybox-1.01/examples)
sys-apps/groff (/usr/share/doc/groff-1.19.1-r2/examples)
net-fs/samba (/usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.20b/examples)
dev-libs/libxml2 (/usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.6.22/examples)
dev-libs/libxml2 (/usr/share/doc/libxml2-2.6.22/examples)
dev-ruby/rubygems (/usr/share/doc/rubygems-0.8.11-r1/examples)
dev-util/subversion (/usr/share/doc/subversion-1.2.3-r3/examples)

subversion is already reported and manually looking at the list the following
package don't install source code in examples: busybox, util-linux. Maintainers:
please check your packages and add the examples use flag if appropriate.

pena betelgeuse # grep examples /usr/portage/profiles/use.*
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc:examples - Install example source code

rubygems (and all things inheriting ruby.eclass) now fixed.

Reopening as other packages still left.

sorry, didn't mean to close - just remove CC :)

samba ebuilds fixed

Comment 5 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-11-21 04:18:30 UTC

pena dialog # qfile /usr/share/doc/dialog-1.0.20051107/samples/
dev-util/dialog (/usr/share/doc/dialog-1.0.20051107/samples)

dialog is missing metadata.xml so adding the last person to touch it to CC.

pycairo done.

aspell done. (Better late than never. :) )

Comment 10 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

dev-libs/libxml2 and dev-libs/libxslt done,
at least dev-util/gtk-doc and dev-python/pygtkglext left to do for gnome (afaik).

I might fix dev-libs/libdaemon as well.

looks like with a ~arch system gnome is now clear. removing us from CC.

What is current status of this for base-system packages?

This should have been a Tracker in the first place. 
We can close this with request of filing one bug per package as these (old) lists have never been very useful.
