Description Tor Lillqvist 2016-09-29 08:29:34 UTC

Description of problem:

It's slightly annoying that the tcl manpages are so numerous and have so generic title lines that they make it much harder to find what you are looking for with 'man -k'. Whatever you look for, you typically have to skip dozens of tcl manpages when browsing the output. I assume very few people are actually writing software in Tcl/Tk these days, and need those manpages.

OK, my friendly neighbour Fedora expert tells me to do:

dnf reinstall tcl --setopt='tsflags=nodocs'

so I'll close this bug myself then;) I guess another question is why tcl got installed in the first place, no idea if that is the default for development systems, or might have been my own fault after installing something obscure I don't use anyway, or whatever...

Thanks for the report, the above is dirty workaround. I think it makes sense to have the docs in separate package, thus reopening but against rawhide.
