So, it is okay to use alternatives to manage /usr/bin/mh symlink (I will need your cooperation, Jakub)
I think you're confusing me with someone else...
, but what about manpages? Creating alternative for every manpage is too complicated.
It's just a bunch of extra slave links. I doesn't look complicated to me.
Is possible to somehow create subdirectory /usr/share/man/man1/mh and have it availiable to man?
I don't think so.What you could do is to put the manpages into a different section[0], so that mmh's manpage files don't conflict with nmh's ones. But then it wouldn't be guaranteed that, say, "man mhl" will give the manpage corresponding to /usr/bin/mh/mhl".
[0] nmh manpages use the "mh" suffix after the section number; so you could use the "mmh" suffix.
