That's the case for the KDE stuff: plain HTML is for plain browsers, QCH is
for Qt Assistant and KDevelop.
The only issue is: kdelibs-apidocs is one of the largest binary packages in
Fedora… But IMHO we'll really want that QCH. (In fact, we've been discussing
building it for a while, I've just been caught up in other stuff.) KDevelop
not showing KDE apidocs is a poor state of affairs and a regression from
Fedora 12 / KDevelop 3.5. At least the QCH is one file, so it won't bloat
the file list in the repository metadata. :-)
FYI, I've put up QCH apidocs for discussion in the next KDE SIG meeting
(Tuesday 14:00 UTC / 16:00 CEST / 10:00 (AM) EDT / 07:00 (AM) PDT).
