[Frugalware-devel] subpkgs vs docs

[Miklos Vajna]

hi,

here is an issue: we do some automated aggregation for documentation
(README, LICENSE, AUTHORS and other files) for packages, but in case
there are subpackages, these always go to the main pkg, so there will be
even no LICENSE file in subpkgs. this may or may not problematic. i
think this is problematic when the main pkg is a dummy package and users
only use the subpkgs.

here are possible solutions:

1) do nothing and wait till somebody claims about it

2) duplicate the LICENSE, etc. files in each subpkgs (this is what
Debian does iirc)

3) create a separate -docs subpkg for these files (i think this is
horrible :) )

in fact i do not like any of these. maybe you have a better idea? :)

thanks,
- VMiklos
