Ah, but my question is: are those the individual PACKAGES that do that, or is that the packaging system that is passing --sysconfdir=/etc/foo to configure? If it's the latter, then that suggests to me that we should simply put nmh config files in $(sysconfdir). If packages are installing files in $(sysconfdir)/foo, then I'd like to see how they deal with packaging systems to avoid $(sysconfdir)/foo/foo. --Ken -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
