All,

I've been talking to Jack and Karen about possible deliveries for Distro 
Constructor, in terms of
how to deliver into the engineering package for DC and I have some 
suggestions that I think
might work for both AI and DC document deliveries.

1 - Man Page: I deliver text file with man page to Jack for DC and to 
Sundar for AI.
They post man page file in /usr/share/man for preinstall packages. Then 
they add command
to source code (Ethan Quach can provide) to get the man page into 
post-install /usr/share/man/man.1m folder
for display with man command. This method worked fine for Snap Upgrade 
man page in May.
Cross-reference article in the man page.

2 - Article: I deliver HTML files to Jack and Sundar with main articles 
for AI and DC.
They post these HTML files in /usr/share/docs folder.  Cross-reference 
man page in the article.

3 - README: I deliver short text file to Jack and Sundar with filename 
of README.txt.
They place this prominently in the package list of folders. Is there a 
usual place that
you'd put a README? This README points readers to both the man pages and 
to the articles.

How's that sound? 

Barbara
