&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; * I am not at home, actually  how much space they take ? For what kind of<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; size we are talking about ?<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; The /usr/share/doc/HTML/en folder has a size of 43.5 MiB, which even now if it takes a lot of place anyone can delete this folder from his system.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; We are not talking about deleting data from the harddisk. We are<br>
&gt;&gt; talking about installing and uninstalling, not just deleting. The<br>
&gt;&gt; issue is to avoid the installation (if not wanted) and consequently<br>
&gt;&gt; avoid updates.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I expected the discussion about the technical options to be quite long<br>
&gt;&gt; and not at all trivial, I did not expect such a discussion about the<br>
&gt;&gt; &quot;why&quot;. There are valid use cases which answer the &quot;why&quot; quite clear<br>
&gt;&gt; and simple.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I dont understand very well.<br>
<br>
</div>Yes, I see.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; - We dont have a lot of space so we want to be able to uninstall some software and it has to be the documentation as the most unwanted ?<br>
&gt; - We want for a question of free choice to be able to choose if we want the documentation to be installed or not ? but this has to be the same for all kde software and dependencies, why is the documentation the problem.<br>

<br>
</div>We have been talking about handbooks because they are single packages<br>
(not included in the software package) which are not needed/wanted by<br>
everybody and they are not necessary to run the software.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; Dont forget that is a part of KDE and it has a global shortcut F1 to access it. If there is a case that it will be not available until the user install it in a additionally way, it breaks the upstream software.<br>
<br>
</div>The important word in your sentence is &quot;if&quot;. This does not apply to<br>
simple applications like kcalc or some simple games or whatever you<br>
may regard as &quot;simple apps&quot;. And as said before: it does not break the<br>
<div class="im">upstream software.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>I don&#39;t agree, i consider the handbook as a part of the application, and for me a KDE installation without the handbooks it is a broken installation.<br>
My opinion is that the person who does nt want it has to uninstall it and not that the person who want it has to install it<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<br>
&gt; It is truth that i spend a lot of time to translate documentation, and i do it with love, so it is normal that i have a preference in their existence in the system; certainly i cannot use this argument here.<br>
<br>
</div>Yes, you have to live with that like we all have to. I already said that.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes i have to ...IF finally a such decision will be taken<br></div></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div>Dimitrios Glentadakis</div>
