* From: Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> * Because it's not part of the base system (i.e., under the src/ tree in * the repository). I was under the impression that this is a reasonably * formal rule (i.e., anything that's not in src/ gets installed under * /usr/local/ (or wherever the appropriate Makefile variable is set to)) * but that some things ignore it. The rule is reasonably blurred, since doc falls somewhere between src and ports. However, [Free]BSD docs have been installed under /usr/share/doc for a long time, and I don't see why this should be changed now even if the sources have moved slightly. * For example, the Japanese manual pages * install under /usr/share/man/ja, not /usr/local/share/man/ja. That is because they match stuff in /usr, not /usr/local. I think it's better to keep manuals and the programs they refer to close to each other in the hierarchy.
