Hello Archlinux,
I like reading documentation in the Info format (especially when it is the prefered / only form of documentation). However, Archlinux decides to strip by default the Info documentation from its packages. I am not going to contest that decision, but I'd like to install Info docs.
Now, what would be the "good" way to do it ? Installing mannually Info packages ? Patching and locally rebuilding the packages for which I want the documentation ? Creating a PKGBUILD that will install a bunch of docs ? It seems this is the way to go. But what will happen if Arch ever decides to include Info files, how are conflicting files going to be handled ?
