Add *-doc subpackages using split/manpages and split/infodir to ~121 packages that could use it

Open dustinkirkland opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

This changeset adds about ~121 *-doc packages using the split/manpages and/or split/infodir pipeline to packages that could use it, but don't.

There are even more packages where we could do this, however, in this change set, I've limited only to packages that I could get to successfully build and test successfully locally.

These ~121 new -doc apk packages average about 70KB apiece (with some near 1MB in size). This is compressed data that is saved from network transfer on installing binary packages. On disk (after installation), we're saving on average 300KB of uncompressed storage on disk by splitting those out to separate packages, with the largest offender having some 2.7MB of docs.
