Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Petr Menšík 2021-01-05 15:07:10 UTC
Description of problem:
BIND source includes also HTML and PDF generated documentation. I made a change in Fedora commit 192c76c [1], where I moved only documentation files to separate package. It can be installed and uninstalled separately, documentation size is not tiny.

Platform independent documentation package size is 1.6M, which is enough to deserve own subpackage in my opinion.

I enabled it in commit 216711a[2] as part of BIND rebase (bug #1882040).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.11.25-1.el8

Additional info:

I built last build with enabled. Now question is, is such change good to include in RHEL8 too or should I keep RHEL package unchanged?

It is non-requested innecessary change. Would keep it only in Fedora and next major RHEL, unless requested by customers.
