Nope. manpages are not machine dependent (i.e., they aren't different between x86, alpha, ia64, etc.). We use /usr/share, /usr/local/share, and /usr/X11R6/share for things which are machine independent and thus can be shared across all architectures. Since manpages are machine independent, they go in /usr/share/man, /usr/local/share/man, /usr/X11R6/share/man, etc. See the heir(7) manpage for more info. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
