Created attachment 338210 [details] iproute2-3.3.0 build log The iproute-3.3.0 installation puts a group of files under /usr/share/doc: api-ip6-flowlabels.tex.bz2, arpd.sgml.bz2, ip-cref.tex.bz2, ip-tunnels.tex.bz2, nstat.sgml.bz2, preamble.tex.bz2, rtstat.sgml.bz2, SNAPSHOT.tex.bz2 and ss.sgml.bz2. There isn't much point to any of these files, but the postscript files that they can be used to produce, api-ip6-flowlabels.ps, arpd.ps, ip-cref.ps, ip-tunnels.ps, nstat.ps, rtstat.psa and ss.ps are old but useful. It would be helpful if the useless tex and sgml files were dropped from the build, and the ebuild, with a doc flag, built and installed the postscript files. (A doc flag is needed because of the dependency on linuxdoc-tools, which contains the necessary .sty files.)
ideally we'd generate the pdf/html and install those, but i don't care enough to look into adding the right dependencies to make that happen. feel free to post a patch if you want to actually read these docs.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Do not bother installing sgml/tex source files as docs http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/iproute2/iproute2-3.8.0.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11
