Just so I'm clear, it seems to me that you can override the doc directory by the use of --docdir, right? >What a mess. So I think that we should go against the >recommendations for sysconfdir, along with openssh and everything >else with /etc/pkgname/. (sudo doesn't need to, so it turned >out to not be a great example.) But .... from what you said, openssh does NOT hardcode the 'ssh' append in their configure.ac/Makefile.* for sysconfdir, it's just their _package_ (e.g., the RPM spec file) that does it, right? That seems to be following the GNU recommendations. I'm trying to see what the problem is with that. --Ken -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
