Only for changelog etc. > I think you want "/usr/share/doc/<language>/package_name/" and/or > "/usr/share/doc/package_name/<language>/". If both, then one is a > symbolic link to the other. How about: /usr/share/doc/package_name/index.<language>.html /usr/share/doc/package_name/otherpages.<language>.html /usr/share/doc/package_name/package_name.<language>.txt /usr/share/doc/package_name/package_name.<language>.pdf This gives simpler time for APACHE to automatically select language for HTML pages. > >> This could be useful if packages provided *all* the translations to be > >> able to remove unuseful translated documentation (similar to cleaning the > >> locale with localepurge). *But* at the same time provides an easy way for > >> users to find translated documentation (since everything under > >> /usr/share/doc/LANG/es/ is, for example, in spanish).

This is my WISHLIST for the package installer. Give them some generic preferences (Choice of languages, choice of -dev package, GTK/GNOME/AETONE interfaces, CRYPTO preferences, ...) then package selection process should do these on its back ground. Too many selection now. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA See "User's Guide": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ See "Debian reference": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ "Debian reference" Project at: http://qref.sf.net I welcome your constructive criticisms and corrections. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
