finishing up the /usr/share/doc transition
It has been more than 1 year since the technical committee decided how
the /usr/share/doc transition would be accomplished[1], and in that time
most packages have implementede the transition. The decision stated that
"Thus, potato+1 (woody) ships with a full /usr/share/doc, and a
/usr/doc full of symlinks." and went on to detail how woody+1 (sarge?)
will begin to phase out the symlinks and how woody+2 will finally be
free of this mess.
I'm looking forward to a day with a lot less postinst and postrm scripts
myself, so I want to make sure we don't miss the traget of full
conversion by woody's release.
There are a total of 645 packages that have not been converted[2]. There
are 16 weeks between December 31st and Aj's projected freeze date for woody.
If 40 people could do one package a week, we would be done. Or 20 people
doing two a week, or just 6 people doing one a day. In other words, it
seems acheivable, especially if we file bugs now on the undone packages,
which would probably wake a fair number of maintainers up..
What do you think?
