            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 which
10MB is library manpages.

It seems to me that library manpages are mainly a resource for developers and
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.
