Why don't you discuss these stuff BEFORE you make the changes? * Historically, the documentation has been installed in to /usr/doc. This Wrong. They have been installed in /usr/share/doc. * Does anyone have any objections to /usr/local/share/doc/fdp/ as the root * path for the documentation? 'fdp' is a little bit cryptic, but I like * TLAs, and the only other alternative I could think of ('docproj', or * 'doc-proj') is quite ugly. fdp is even uglier, and I can't recall anyone other than you using that particular acronym. * One more thing -- A mid-term goal is for the pre-built docs (HTML, PS, PDF * and so on) to be distributed as binary packages, to be managed using the * pkg_* family. I'm pretty certain this precludes putting the documentation * anywhere other than a subdirectory of /usr/local/, so the old /usr/doc/ * directory is right out. As a mid-term goal, everything in the system is going to be packages (if we believe what Jordan is saying) so where it's going is irrelevant. Please keep stuff in /usr/share/doc. I don't see any reason to change that, especially not with all the other changes going on around now.
