In /usr[/local]/share/doc, I guess. At least I often look in the non-local tree if I am searching for documentation. I don't know how popular /usr/local/... is, though. >> My other favorite would be $PREFIX/share/doc/auctex/.

Hm, on my system all of the packages which are installed only in a single incarnation have directory names without version strings below /usr/share/doc/. >> `etc' looks a little bit like "stuff we don't know where to but s/but/put/ >> else". > > Well, fits the "style" directory to a "t", doesn't it?

And the fact that they are internal to AUCTeX does not qualify for putting them into an obscure place. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
