+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1149511 +++

Description of problem:

I have recently re-built my own KDE box based on F21 and I try:
 
# dnf remove gnome-user-docs
Dependencies resolved.

So do I need other 40MB of gnome stuff in my remix? I don't think so.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q anaconda

It looks like it got dragged in with yelp & dnf repoquery --whatrequires gnome-user-docs confirms that.

Anaconda recently got support for built-in help and it is using the yelp help viewer to display the help files. It indeed seems kinda weird that a help _viewer_ drags in 40 MB of documentation files.

--- Additional comment from Martin Kolman on 2014-10-06 14:34:02 CEST ---

Yelp might be used for custom help content in a different desktop environment other than Gnome (XFCE, KDE, LXDE, etc.) or even outside of a normal desktop (Anaconda installation environment), so it should be possible to install just the viewer without the quite sizable accompanying Gnome user documentation that is not needed in such a case (as yelp is used to view custom content).
Comment 1 Martin Kolman 2014-10-06 12:41:44 UTC 
Running "yum deplist yelp" confirms that also yelp on RHEL7 depends on gnome-user-docs.
