FHS 2.2 public review re: XF86Config
Hi,
I was just browsing the FHS 2.2 public review document and found this:
759 3.7.5.2 Specific Options
760
761 The following files, or symbolic links to files, must be in /etc/X11 if
762 the corresponding subsystem is installed:
763
764 Xconfig The configuration file for early versions of XFree86 (optional)
765 XF86Config The configuration file for XFree86 versions 3 and 4 (optional)
but doesn't have a rationale. The document doesn't clarify what
"(optional)" means, but I take it to mean "it must not be present, but
if it is, it must be called this". Needless to say, this doesn't allow
for simultaneaous installation of 3.3.x and 4.0 servers.
Is anyone here aware of any ongoing discussion in this regard? The
public review page says:
