They are the orthogonal sorting criteria for documents *you* requested two months ago (you said you would want all howto's in a section. This can be done in a perfect and harmonical way via the "Type:" field. Doing it in the "Subject" field really is abuse. "howto" is not a subject, it is a type.) > MB> > !! Duh! That's a good point!

I already pointed out in my very last mail that I misunderstood. Sorry for that. We probably don't need it. > MB> (d) It would be a dot file then, and I hate dot files. > > Nice argument :). I still don't think it is elegant to spread the files in hundreds of directories (and we have 1800 packages) --- in fact it is slower and not necessary at all. And we need a common directory for files that can't be associated witha special package anyway. We could use /usr/share/doc-base/docreg/ and /usr/local/whatever for local files.
