I want to allow this flexibility. In my mind, a sysadmin is likely * to want to install the docs in to a canonical location, and then symlink * to this location from other, possibly friendlier, directory names. Yes, in your mind. That's now how it works for people who deal with Japanese. * As an admin myself, I'd want the canonical location to be as precise as * possible, and have the symlinks be less precise. Which is why I'd suggest * the canonical location be 'ja_JP.eucJP' (or whatever) and the symlinks be * 'ja'. Other admins (e.g., you) might want this reversed, and have the * canonical directory be 'ja', and the symlinks be things like 'ja_JP.eucJP'. * * I have no problem with this, and the arguments about which approach should * be the default (6 or 12 months down the line) are likely to more * entertaining than "vi vs. Emacs" :-) Well, as long as you let the Japanese people decide what the default's going to be for Japanese stuff, I'm fine. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
