I just had a look at what FSSTND says about /usr/share: [6.3] "The directory /usr/share typically contains architecture-independent files such as man-pages, timezone, terminfo information, etc."
[4.11] "Note that it is the consensus opinion of FSSTND that /usr/share is not needed on the majority of Linux systems." But: [6.3] "As of this time, there are no different architectures for Linux" [that time was March 1995] As of this time, with Debian going multiplatform, it seems we should push towards using /usr/share where this makes sense, as soon as possible (maybe for 2.0). This will make integrating "heterogeneous" Debian NFS networks easier. They also say : [6.3] "no program should ever reference anything in /usr/share." [...] "Anything in /usr/share will be "pointed to" by the use of symlinks from other areas in the filesystem, such as /usr/man, /usr/lib/<something>, etc." Has anyone an idea why they say so ? What does the FHS say [just in case] ? I had removed the /usr/lib/kbd/* links to /usr/share, from the kbd package, as obsolete compat links, but I seem to be against FSSTND in this case... I personnally don't see any good in those links, except for compatibility purposes. But I may well be missing some important point. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, alt-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.a2points.com/homepage/3475232 | Check <http://www.debian.org/>
