Hi,

[#2145] Re: Best way to install ri documentation — Richard Kilmer <rich@...> 2004/01/05

Perhaps make it available for mirrors and save ruby-lang's bandwidth?

So, I'm thinking about doing the following? Is this OK with everyone?

Philosophically, developers (the minority) should sacrifice some
convenience so that users (the majority) can have more convenience.  Also,
I believe the documentation should be considered (almost) as important as
the software.  It's an investment in the language.

A configure-time option, either to enable or disable documentation, is the
most appropriate solution; it only needs to be set once.  Given the
philosophical statement above, the *default* should be to *install*
documentation.

Conclusion: I prefer a configure-time option to *disable* documentation.
