where does the current .../share/doc/nmh go, in the new scheme? > I'd be happy with a --with-traditional-paths flag to autoconf that put > things back the "old" way. ... i don't need the exact old layout, but i do need the ability to easily install nmh to its own self-contained tree. i sometimes have a couple of such trees (/usr/local/nmh-1.6, /usr/local/nmh-gitmaster, etc, so that my wife and i can run different versions), and it's much easier to manage them that way. under lyndon's proposal, i'll end up with an extra directory level (i.e., /usr/local/nmh-gitmaster/etc/nmh/...), but i guess i can get used to that. paul =---------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 49.6 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
