FWIW: I agree with the chorus: a) /usr/local is not needed for packages to work b) /usr/share/doc implicitly means that the documentation is put together by the FreeBSD Documentation Project (since FreeBSD it otherwise generally incapable of producing documentation :-) There doesn't seem to be a good reason to violate POLA here. > That will lead to /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/ > es_ES.ISO_8859-1/ > ja/ > papers/ > psd/ > ru_RU.KOI8-R > smm/ > usd/ > zh_TW.Big/ Only for people who install all of en, es, ja, ru, and zh. :) Perhaps one day it may even move to /usr/share/doc-en_US.ISO_8859-1/, and so on, since the doc subdir would ideally contain only one entry (minus symlinks): es_ES.iso_8859-1/ (or whatever the local language is)? -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
