/usr/{share/man,bin} vs /usr/X11R6/{man,bin} (policy 12.8.7)
Hi!
There is a package I adopted (bugsx), which uses Imake. However the
previous maintainer didn't use upstream makefile install{,.man} targets
(which put the binary and manpage in /usr/X11R6/{man,bin}), and instead
installed them manually into /usr/{share/man,bin}.
My question is: how to interpret policy section 12.8.7. Is to mean:
"All packages using imake should puth files where imake-generated
makefile would put them, period."
or
"Everything should go to /usr/{bin,share/man}, but if your package uses
imake, you're allowed to be lazy and leave it the old way".
regards,
Marcin
