Hi all,
Just a quick question for those who might know.
I understand that Automake generates ${docdir} as
${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE}, as per the Automake manual, section 2.2.3.
While messing around building RPM files recently, I happened to notice
that most Linux distros like to put documentation files into
${datarootdir}/doc/*packages*/${PACKAGE}.
Now, I realize that you can modify the ${docdir} on both the configure
and make command lines so that it contains the correct values for
building a proper RPM. But I have a couple of questions:
1) Why the controversy?
2) Is there any movement within the Automake community to move toward
the LSB directory structure as the default?
Thanks in advance,
John
