yes, and what i am suggesting is to make a version of the FHS that is linux only, eg a LFH (linux filesystem hierarchy) as something that can live in the manpages package on kernel.org this would also support making it more visible that the FHS is not linux specific. > If thats the case, I don't see a reason to include the fhs specifically > in the install, just reference its location on the web (or include it > in a package like debian-policy ;)) well, the hard part is coming up with something that fills the current hier manpage if it is not to just be a copy of the FHS greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
