where should examples go ?
I noticed that some example files where stored in
/usr/doc/<package>/examples while others are stored in
/usr/doc/examples/<package>. Unfortunately I did not notice the second
location until relatively recently.
What does the standard say ? Personally I prefer the first setting
and more packages seem to respect it anyway. Here are the packages that
store configuration files in /usr/doc/examples on my system:
deliver 2.1.12-2
ncurses-dev <none>
samba 1.9.16p9
bison A2.6-12
fvwm2 2.0.43-BETA-0
lilo 19-1
popclient 3.05-3
tar 1.11.8-5
fwtk 1.3-1
mount 2.5l-1
procmail 3.10-4
wu-ftpd 2.4-27
Some other packages make symbolic links to the /usr/doc/<package>/example
directories (apache, cgi-scripts, libpaper).
On my system bing still stores its Readme file in the file /usr/doc/bing !
