Comment 10 for bug 1056103

Sage, thank you much for your comment (#4). Tv, thanks for guidance and letting me play along.

The ceph build already separates the main build from docs, and the requirements for building are already quite substantial, so if someone is up to the task of building deb packages on their own then they're up to dealing with the docs. I speculate it may be worth investigating if there are more current alternatives to the custom mods required for sphinx if that is the only roadblock.

Far be it for me to say that you must ship docs, however, it may be preferable to drive that traffic through the web site, which has the advantage of incorporating community updates more frequently, and I totally support that idea.

Since you don't really want another makefile and don't need another script to build docs, I suggest adding it to the main package build if they're going to ship at all, or let's close this issue and stick with the web site.

I count only two truly great solutions in any category that exist right now, and one is ceph. You have my allegiance.
