            Bug ID: 273777
           Summary: pkgbase: Library manpages should be in the -dev
                    packages
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dfr@rabson.org

I have a simple base image for containers which contains just core shared
libraries, SSL libraries and certificates. This image is about 30MB, of whi=
ch
10MB is library manpages.

It seems to me that library manpages are mainly a resource for developers a=
nd
should be packaged with the other compile-time files such as include files =
and
static libraries. I suggest that manpages for libraries should move to the =
-dev
package unless MK_MANSPLITPKG is set.
