We'll be issuing an extensive recommendation for upgrading to conformance with the next edition some time before it is actually released.

I apologize for bad wording (english isn't my native language), what I meant to say is don't start cluttering /usr/share before it has been agreed upon. A lot of the stuff that's traditionally located in the /usr/lib subtree is architecture independent and should be moved under /usr/share. I agree completely. We should move everything at once. If we don't, we'll start looking like Slackware. ;) (I remember chuckling when I learned that Slackware included a /usr/share with one file in it...) Don't get me wrong--I'm all for /usr/share, but I agree with Bernd. This should be fixed until we move everything to /usr/share, which will be when the FSSTND tells us to. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Ian Murdock Subject: Bug#1769: Info received (was Bug#1769: bison files in /usr/share) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the additional information you have supplied regarding this problem report.
