[arch-general] X11 man pages
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 ?

We don't supply X11R6. We have Xorg 7 now.

You right but /usr/X11R6/man is the right place for X11 man page, no ? FHS 2.3 out in 2004 :) Maybe a symbolic link between /usr/X11R6/man and /usr/share/man ?

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.

+1! /usr/X11R6 must die! :-P -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

I will be pissed off if you put this stupid worthless directory back on my machine. Are we in the 1980s again? This would go against any removal of things such as installs in /opt/ that we have been working so hard to fix. This is even more retarded because we run X11R7 for that matter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System#Release_history -Dan
