it most definitely did, and this behaviour was what i fancied to call a
combination of postinstall-scripts and automake. your proposed macro-
name %{_mandir} would be the convenient interface. how else but with
some sort of automake functionality could it be possible to have packages
built on different hosts to be installed on a host which has already
installed packages with different directory-structures.
we can't even blame anybody, as we might want to install to a variety of
ever-changing places matching the sites evolution. softlinks don't
solve every problem.

??? (??)
many of you will not like to read this, as it is a set of newbie questions of the most repelling sort. some will hope to read the answers later... 1. what is an alpha [channel]? 2. what's the difference between layers, channels and paths? 3. is there a reasonable functional complement regarding vectors? reasonable is available on freebsd or some other unix, and functional complement means: if i want to specify objects and motion using vectors, can i make and render pretty surfaces in a jiffy with the gimp? or have it cooperate in 2d? (4. how do i make use of histograms? 5. is there anything one can /not/ do with adequately defined brushes? i'd like a broad, but memorable overview over defining and using brushes) thanks in advance, and i really mean it. clemens

correcting lighting of photos
hi. my father took a picture of a technical device he built, but the lighting was poor and he can't try again. we have a good color digital image, but no negatives, because he borrowed a digital camera to do it. i tried to give the dark parts more light, but it shows too much. i would post an image were it not so huge (half a megabyte). how can i "lighten up" the dark parts, leave the good parts alone and not have it show so much? clemens
