Or with who think standards are about personal taste? The filesystem hierarchy standard is no matter of personal taste of any of the fvwm developers. Please read the current standard and you'll see that man pages (along with other architecture independent data files) have to be installed under .../share. Fvwm does not choose the installation path of its man pages; the default path is set by the version of autoconf used. If you build fvwm with an "old" version of autoconf, the man pages will be installed in .../man. With a "new" version they are installed in .../share/man. The documentation in INSTALL.fvwm reflects this. Insofar, any discussion about the man page installation path is off topic on the fvwm mailing lists. I have no opinion on which path is better, but if you do, and you think the path needs to be changend, then the right people to discuss that with are the autotools developers and/or the people maintaining the FHS. If there are mistakes in the documentation or sources of fvwm, I'm happy to take a look and fix anything that needs fixing. But I kindly ask you to stop pointing fingers at people, thus consuming time that could be spent to make fvwm better. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
