<p>In September 1999, the Technical Committee
|
| 4 |
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte-9909/msg00023.html">approved</a> a
|
| 5 |
<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html">proposal</a>
|
| 6 |
to move documentation to /usr/share/doc (as required by the
|
| 7 |
<a href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">Filesystem Hierarchy Standard</a>)
|
| 8 |
with a forest of symlinks from /usr/doc. This transition was finally completed
|
| 9 |
for woody in April 2002; the symlinks will be removed starting with sarge.</p>
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
<p>This list also includes packages containing files in /usr/man since the FHS
|
| 12 |
(Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) requires man pages to be in /usr/share/man.
|
| 13 |
However, this is not quite so important, as the problem of symlinks from
|
| 14 |
/usr/doc to /usr/share/doc doesn't arise, but it should be fixed for FHS
|
| 15 |
compatibility.</p>
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
<p>Note that the Contents-*.gz files used to generate this scoreboard may
|
| 18 |
be a little out of date, although some overrides are in place. Depending on
|
| 19 |
the architecture, many entries may be due to a newer version of the package
|
| 20 |
not having been ported yet. Only the full listing for i386 is shown below,
|
| 21 |
if you want the detailed listing for an alternative architecture, please
|
| 22 |
click on one of the following links.</p>
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
<p>These figures track etch, the current testing distribution.</p>

<p>The rules are these: send in a patch through the
|
| 47 |
<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/">Bug Tracking System</a> (BTS) which performs
|
| 48 |
the transition from /usr/doc and /usr/man to /usr/share/{doc,man} and mention
|
| 49 |
that you will NMU in three weeks if the maintainer doesn't show any
|
| 50 |
activity until then.</p>
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
<p>If you are not a registered Debian developer, you can still submit
|
| 53 |
a patch to the BTS. If the maintainer has not made an upload with
|
| 54 |
your patch in 3 weeks, please contact debian-qa@lists.debian.org.
|
| 55 |
A Debian developer will then make an upload of the package using your
|
| 56 |
patch (and give you feedback and credit).</p>
