[gentoo-dev] Files for doc building

[gentoo-dev] Files for doc building

[Henri Gasc]

Hello,

I am in the process of updating dev-python/mkdocs-rss-plugin (in GURU), 
and I find myself in a pinch.
To build the documentation, there are 74 files needed. It's too much to 
add them to the SRC_URI and copy the files in src_prepare, but at the 
same time, the best compression achieved on a tar archive is 3.3M and I 
worry about putting it in a files directory.

Does anyone has an idea on how to solve this ? I would prefer not to 
create a git repo and add it from there.
Regards,
Henri Gasc

It is even a violation of Gentoo policy to have files larger than IIRC
20kb in files/.

This *must* be handled via SRC_URI, where to host the tarball is up to
the maintainer.
