Hello,
Arch devs put man pages in /usr/share/man like FHS want, ok.
But FHS says : « Manual pages for X11R6 are stored in /usr/X11R6/man. It follows that all manual page hierarchies in the system must have the same structure as /usr/share/man. » http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREMANMANUALPAGES
I don't understand FHS or ArchLinux should put X11 man page in /usr/X11R6/man ?
Hmmm, I actually think you might be right here. It seems weird, but the FHS is fairly explicit on it. I'd suggest you file a bug report about this.
As for Travis' comment, xorg 7 is an implementation of X11R6.
No, not the crappy /usr/X11R6 prefix again. FHS or not, the manpages don't belong in a directory where the rest isn't installed. Even Debian, the most FHS-compliant distro I know, isn't installing X11 packages in /usr/X11R6 anymore.
