- Subject: Consensus about man and doc X11 directory structure
Hi all
As you all know by now, Corinna is hunting for our vacant package
maintainers. So may be it's a good idea to also have consensus about
our X11 directory structure regarding man pages and documentation.
I propose that documentation in general should go to /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE
even for X11 packages and the main man page directory should be dictated
by the generic X11 tree, which is right now /usr/X11R6/man/manX (X=1,....)
Any comments ?
The situation right now is:
