BTW if you have problems with my texlive-scripts, feel free to ask ;)
Aren't the docs in the same source tarballs? Couldn't you just pull the existing texlive tarballs and use those?
Don't we have a special script that downloads sources of packages? Why the sources of texlive are in /other/texlive/ then?
You are confusing sources and sourceballs. ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other is intendend for source tarballs for projects that are no longer hosted upstream, SCM snapshots, homemade projects, etc. ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources is intendend for sourceballs of packages where the license forces us to also host the sources (GPL2, GPL, etc.).
