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... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

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.
