Hi,

as those of you who see the p4 submits probably noticed, I did a big
submit yesterday fixing spells to install their man pages to
/usr/share/man instead of /usr/man. All spells I have installed now put
their man pages in /usr/share/man and their info manuals in
/usr/share/info. There's still some putting stuff in /usr/doc instead of
/usr/share/doc, I'll fix that next.
I'd like to ask all gurus and writers of new spells to check all spells
they write/update to see if they install stuff to /usr/man, /usr/info or
/usr/doc and fix them if they do. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard says
all this stuff is supposed to go to /usr/share, which makes sense as
it's easily shareable between different boxes.
