Details

Description:
Not much to describe really. The Devhelp documentation is missing.

Steps to reproduce:
Open up devhelp, look for GTK, don't find it, type:

# pacman -Ql gtk3 | grep devhelp

Be suspiscious, check for Clutter's docs with:

# pacman -Ql clutter | grep devhelp
clutter /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/cally/cally.devhelp2
clutter /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/clutter/clutter.devhelp2

And see they're there, be assured that the bug exists.
This task depends upon

Docs are stripped from gtk3.
Ionut: any idea why we don't provide gtk3-docs instead of totally stripping the documentation?

I was thinking that the maintainer of gtk2-docs will provide a gtk3 variant as well.

Though adding a gtk3-docs package might be one solution, it's inconsistent with how other Gnome packages are handled (they have the docs in one package). AFAIR I read on the wiki that it's an Arch practice not to 'oversplit' stuff over to many packages (Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora tend to have package, package-docs, package-dev[el], package-data...).

On the other hand there must've been some reason for having those split in gtk2 -- any idea what could it have been?
