Packaging docs

Packaging docs

[jgart]

Hi,

What's are policy for packaging docs deps?

For example, this package has docs deps:

https://github.com/m-lundberg/simple-pid/blob/master/docs/requirements.txt

Should those be packaged and included also in the Guix package definition?

Is our policy for packaging docs deps documented somewhere?

I don't think there's a specific policy, but our packages tend to enable most optional dependencies and docs are always useful, so I'd package doc dependencies too.

Hi roptat,

Should we make a policy and add it to the docs?

I don't know what other commiters think about that, but you could try and suggest a concrete change. Can you write a patch, or at least a paragraph and point to the location it should go to, in the manual?
