Policy Questions: Example files in /usr/share/doc
Hi,
the policy upgrading checklist says:
| - Files in /usr/share/doc may not be referenced by any
| program. If such files are needed, they must be placed in
| /usr/share/package-name/, and symbolic links created as required
| in /usr/share/doc/package-name/
Does "any program" include postinst scripts? It is common practice to
put the default config file in /usr/share/doc and copy it to the final
destination in the postinst if a file of that name is not already
there.
I would be forced to move these files to /usr/share, and to add
special code to my maintainer scripts to link them to /usr/share/doc.
Or would it be a possible way not to put the default config files to
/usr/share/doc/$package? Where to put "real" examples that are not
accessed by maintainer scripts?
Greetings
Marc
