  Hello,
 
  Arch devs put man pages in /usr/share/man like FHS want, ok.
 
  But FHS says :
  « Manual pages for X11R6 are stored in /usr/X11R6/man. It follows that all
  manual page hierarchies in the system must have the same structure
  as /usr/share/man. »
  http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREMANMANUALPAGES
 
  I don't understand FHS or ArchLinux should put X11 man page
  in /usr/X11R6/man ?
 
 Hmmm, I actually think you might be right here. It seems weird, but
 the FHS is fairly explicit on it. I'd suggest you file a bug report
 about this.
 
 As for Travis' comment, xorg 7 is an implementation of X11R6.

No, not the crappy /usr/X11R6 prefix again. FHS or not, the manpages
don't belong in a directory where the rest isn't installed. Even Debian,
the most FHS-compliant distro I know, isn't installing X11 packages
in /usr/X11R6 anymore.

 +1!
 /usr/X11R6 must die! :-P

I will be pissed off if you put this stupid worthless directory back
on my machine. Are we in the 1980s again? This would go against any
removal of things such as installs in /opt/ that we have been working
so hard to fix.

This is even more retarded because we run X11R7 for that matter.
