Replying to [comment:2 ch...@…]:
> I believe it is generally LFS policy to put all documentation in
/usr/share/doc into subdirs with version numbers, and I was just pointing
out one package that does not.
I was unaware of any such policy. If it does exist, it goes against at
least the autoconf default ${docdir}, and (I think also therefore) the GNU
coding standards which autoconf follows. At least autoconf uses the plain
old package name, without a version.
If we're overriding that in lots of places (grepping the book finds a
couple... :-( ), I think we need to re-think that decision. Using the
standard directory makes it a heck of a lot easier to upgrade udev in the
future, without leaving lots of different /usr/share/doc/udev-XXX
directories hanging around forever.
(The "please don't" was directed more at other editors than at you; sorry
if that wasn't clear.)
