* Sat Aug 11 2007 aj@suse.de - Make separate spec file for PolicyKit-doc so that PolicyKit does not require TeX for building. This is because TeX stuff is **huge**. and use of TeX for man pages is incredible...

They use DocBook, wich pulls in deps: xmlto -> passivetex -> xmltex -> texlive

The use of DocBook is very common and far from "incredible".

why not give the text and info package in the rpm, along with the docbook source. following such deps IS incredible...

Just to clarify my remarks as it seems some people may have misunderstood them: All I'm asking for is to include the proper manpages in the "base" package. If building that manpage takes a huge toolchain then either live with it or change the sourceformat of the manpage to something that doesn't require using such a big toolchain. Splitting the manpage out of the package is only valid in very rare cases - and this isn't one of them.
