Follow-up Comment #12, bug #56109 (project gettext):

You really do not understand that I'm working on distribution packges.
On builng such resources you are not using web browser and you care first
about minimal size of installed resources.

If gettext command is used for example by grub fact that out of source tree is
possible to build and install second copy of all documentation in html is
MEANINGLESS.
Do you see my point?
I can underdsstand that as maintainer you may be interested to publish whole
html documentation in come content of the project web server.
Most of the end uusers will be only using man and info commands to browse
installed documentation because it is TYPICAL way of accessing to such
documentation.
In other word unconditionally generating and installing all that stuff in
install target is waste of time.
On preparing my rpm package with gettext I've already added 

address@hidden SOURCES]$ ls -l gettext-do_not_install_some_doc.patch 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tkloczko tkloczko 15055 Apr  9 17:44
gettext-do_not_install_some_doc.patch

which unconditionally removes generating and installing all those resources as
from point of view of end user OS distribution consumer all this stuff is
USELESS!!!
