Hi all, Just a quick question for those who might know.I understand that Automake generates ${docdir} as ${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE}, as per the Automake manual, section 2.2.3.
While messing around building RPM files recently, I happened to notice that most Linux distros like to put documentation files into ${datarootdir}/doc/*packages*/${PACKAGE}.
Now, I realize that you can modify the ${docdir} on both the configure and make command lines so that it contains the correct values for building a proper RPM. But I have a couple of questions:
1) Why the controversy?2) Is there any movement within the Automake community to move toward the LSB directory structure as the default?
Thanks in advance, John
