Which one will 'man' pick up if both exist? Removing the XFree86 packages installed will remove the existing if you had packages installed. This is standard location for XF86 manpages on Debian. Debian policy calls for following FHS which calls for all X11 manpages to be located in the following: /usr/X11R6/man/man/blah.x Man goes through the MANDIR env var if looking for the first match, I suppose. BTW, right now, the Debian packages for 4.3.0 have a nasty patch that reworks manpage handling so that it fits the right scheme. This patch was not neccessary as even 4.3.0 had this functionality; it just wasn't documented (that's what the documentation patch for xc/config/cf/README was). This patch makes the manpages install in the right place by default. wt -- Warren Turkal President, GOLUM, Inc. http://www.golum.org ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

[Patch] Debian manpage locations
This changes the configuration, only for Debian, such that the manpages end up in the right places with the right names. I would be wonderful if this could be committed so this happens automatically for people compiling on Debian. Also, is there any chance of that documentation patch I put on the list getting committed? wt diff -ruN xc-old/config/cf/linux.cf xc/config/cf/linux.cf --- xc-old/config/cf/linux.cf 2003-12-12 02:40:31.0 -0600 +++ xc/config/cf/linux.cf 2003-12-12 03:03:45.0 -0600 @@ -109,6 +109,12 @@ # define NormalLibGlu YES # define FSUseSyslog YES +# define DriverManSuffix 4x +# define DriverManDir $(MANSOURCEPATH)4 + +# define MiscManSuffix 7x +# define MiscManDir$(MANSOURCEPATH)7 + /* * * -- Warren Turkal President, GOLUM, Inc. http://www.golum.org ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
