Looks like we need a symlink: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALSHARE1 The below patch would work and would link /usr/local/share/man -> ../man (aka /usr/local/man). This is acceptable under the FHS, and although I would probably prefer the symlink go the other way, this change will prevent any problems from changing an existing possibly non-empty directory into a symlink, so is the much easier route. I didn't apply this in SVN, I will wait for some feedback. $ svn diff Index: PKGBUILD =================================================================== --- PKGBUILD (revision 2625) +++ PKGBUILD (working copy) @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ pkgname=filesystem pkgver=2008.06 -pkgrel=1 +pkgrel=2 pkgdesc="Base filesystem" arch=(i686 x86_64) license=('GPL') @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ # fhs compliance mkdir -p usr/local/{bin,games,include,lib,man,sbin,share,src} + ln -s ../man $startdir/pkg/usr/local/share/man mkdir -p var/{cache/man,local,lock,opt,run,spool/mail,tmp,games} chmod 1777 var/lock mkdir -p var/log/old
