Subject: bug#24099: A policy on how to choose the installed documentation formats.
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:21:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zip23vwj.fsf@we.make.ritual.n0.is> (raw)
I don't think we have what this thread talks about covered in the
manual.
If we do have though, consider this bug obsolete.

Not the same message, but in the thread:
> What about installing only HTML?
>
> I find that HTML (and Info, and man) is more convenient to read on-line
> than PDFs. We rarely include PDF documentation in packages.

> bit-reproducible out-of-the-box.
