Why do you propose keeping a distinct X11R6 tree yet puting documentation outside it. I would prefer these to be consistent. IIRC, Harold had decided to eliminate the X11R6 subtree and cgf agreed. I guess that was the direction Xorg and several Linux distros were taking. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-01/msg00228.html IMHO, that was not desirable. Eventually I could imagine X11 and Cygwin native versions of the same package. I liked this method of making the distinction. > The situation right now is: [snip] > Docs pages not belonging to the x11-org packages: > ================================================= > > /usr/X11R6/doc: > > fvwm-2.4.7 > lesstif-0.93.94 > libPropList-0.10.1 > openbox-0.99.1 > transfig-3.2.4 <- empty > x2x-1.30 > Xaw3d-1.5D > xfig-3.2.4 > xgraph-12.1 > xpdf-0.91 I believe these are simply packages that have not been updated since the FHS standards began being enforced. > /usr/X11R6/share/doc: > > xorg-x11-xwin > freeglut-2.2.0 > gv-3.5.8 > libXft-2.1.6 > nedit-5.5 > tcm-2.20 > WindowMaker-0.90.0 > X-start-menu-icons-1.0.3 > X-startup-scripts-1.0.10 > x3270-3.2.20 > XmHTML-1.1.7 > xwinclip-1.2.0 These would appear correct from my point of view. -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International the best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained pilot... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
