Hello, I've been looking at the way Man Pages are installed on my LFS system, and comparing this to what FHS-2.3 recommends and came up with some observations/questions:
* FHS-2.3 recommends that man pages be installed under /usr/share/<mandir>/<locale>. Some packages actually do install their man pages this way, but man-pages 2.01,(LFS-6.1) installs in /usr/share/man--which, I guess, is the traditional place to have them. * Other than man[1-8], I'm seeing man0p, man1p, man3p, and man9! man1p has user programs, like date, cat, du ... Is there a reason why they are not in man1, for example? * I'm thinking or reorganizing the man directory and moving all man pages under /usr/share/man/<locale>. Any thoughts or reflections?
