I have several questions:
1) Is there a way to only cvsup the docs written in English? When I
use the doc-all target, I also get Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and
Russian, and I don't wany any of those languages. The handbook doesn't
list any other targets apart from doc-all. Shouldn't there also be
doc-en, doc-jp, doc-ru, etc?
2) make install in /usr/doc defaults to /usr/local/share/doc/fdp.
Shouldn't it instead update the docs in /usr/share/doc/{handbook,FAQ}?
The stuff that goes into /usr/share/doc is created when the system is
first installed and never gets updated.
3) The man pages. They are normally installed by making the world in
/usr/src; yet, somehow "make world" also installs the Japanese pages in
/usr/share/man/jp/{man?,cat?}. What are the Japanese man pages doing in
/usr/share/man? Why Japanese? How comes there are no Russian pages in
/usr/share/man/ru or Spanish pages in /usr/share/man/es? Shouldn't they
be in some other location, like /usr/share/jp/man where they can be
disabled?
I don't speak Japanese and don't want any Japanese stuff. Similarly,
Japanese folks probably wouldn't want the docs written in Spanish or
Russian.
Finally, what's the story with es, ru, jp and zh? Where's French,
German and other European languages? I'm pretty sure I've heard of a
"French documentation project" - so where are the docs?
Thanks for your attention
Frank
