Conclution: The common package should NOT contain ANY database specific documentation etc.. i'm not really convinced on this. nagios-common is imo not only the arch independant files as you suggest, but also a documentation package as well (because i can't justify to myself a seperate nagios-doc package). sean -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That's perfectly ok, but you should put README.mysql and create_mysql in the -mysql package and the README.pgsql create_pgsql in the -pgsql package. All files should install in the /usr/share/doc/nagios-common/ directory as usual. -- 767 strategic jihad SDI Ortega counter-intelligence killed kibo assassination iodine genetic Delta Force nitrate cryptographic attack [See http://www.aclu.org/echelonwatch/index.html for more about this] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

All files should install in the /usr/share/doc/nagios-common/ directory as usual. i'm still not convinced. what good would this gain us? if anything i see this as complicating things more than necessary, as it does no harm having the documentation all in one place, and it might cause some people to miss documentation by splitting it into two places. anyway, i'm going to take it as a good sign of the state of the package that we're arguing over something like this :) sean -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
