Could you (or somebody else on this list) point me to some text that
details this rule? My /usr/share is next to empty, while /usr/lib
contains _lot's_ of system-independand files (pgp, samba, texmf, zoneinfo,...).


I don't mean I don't like the idea of having arch indep stuff in /usr/share,
it's just that if I do it, I would like to follow the guidelines any other
standard.

OK, I'll move this. I done it because gs-3.53 (by default) puts it in
ghostscript/$VERSION/fonts, but if you (and someone else, too) prefers
them in ghostscript/fonts, I'll move them.

Thanks,
