If you're going to keep insisting the http protocol doesn't support JH> symlinks, please quite me chapter and verse from RFC 2068. Ok, you#re right. But the classic http daemons (cern for example) used/use chroot() for security reasons. You#re right, the current apache package supports symlinks, but will all users use apache? Will all users use FollowSymLink (a dangerous feature?). Is a http daemon broken, because it doesn#t follow these symlinks? I would suggest: (1) All packages of Debian 2.2 have to use /usr/share/doc. If we have FHS and FSSTND packages we will get a chaos. (2) All packages of Debian 2.2 have to use a symlink in /usr/doc to support a mixture of Debian 2.1 and 2.2 packages. (3) The user uses /usr/share/doc to avoid problems with the symlinks and problems in Debian 2.3. cu, Marco P.S.: Of course dhelp will support the latest policy (if this is possible), but it#s not a really good solution. -- Linux HOWTOs - Die besten Loesungen der Linuxgemeinde ISBN 3-8266-0498-9 Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/6298.5 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/
