That isn't particularly uncommon. The only packages which annoy me now are those that don't create a directory - tzdata in LFS (it seems to do it for historic reasons - some people used it outside of glibc, or separately updated it, and that's the way it has always been), and various zip files. For the rest, go with whatever they call the directory (e.g. texinfo, the various mozilla packages). > > Who writes this stuff?

We all omit things from time to time when editing. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
