Everybody in this argument about what/who/etc to handle the transition (if any) between /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc... To date, there are 118 packages on master who are using, in some form, /usr/share/doc... As time goes on, more packages will "just change". Many of the developers don't read -policy and nobody has issued a decision to "order" maintainers to NOT make the move pending a -policy decree. Now that Lintian issues a warning about using FSSTND directories, we can expect more people to move the doc files. While everybody involved in this discussions sits and goes in circles, the rest of the project is going to pass -policy by and just impliment policy as it states in the policy manual and by the time the people who get to decide actually decide, it'll be harder to implement due to the number of packages that DID move... In the end, the people in the /usr/doc vs. /usr/share/doc discussions need to start compromising and coming together and coming to a solution before the whole discussion is rendered meaningless by non-policy-reading maintainers takeing matters into their own hands... -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
