I need the documents of octave, but it's not in the current octave package, so I need to compile it manually after each update.  However the compilation is very time and power consuming, it can drive my CPU to 100 degrees --- which is not very fine for a laptop.

./configure && make pdf && make install-pdf would be quite fast.

I used to remove the "--disable-docs" in the ./configure parameters.

as a matter of fact, most of the time you spent would be in the configure stage.

Not really... At least it's not the case with octave. It used to take more than one hour (on my Intel Core i5 430M); with "make -j4" it's faster, but the CPU temperature shows 100 degrees Celsius.

have you tried to make an independent aur package for yourself?

Does that make a difference? Still I have to build it myself, and I'm asking if we can build a docs package in [extra]. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591
