Unless I've misunderstood, /usr/share is part of FSSTND 1.2 (the current one), but deprecated. In particular: One note: no program should ever reference anything in /usr/share. For instance, a manual page program should never directly look in /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1, but it should refer to /usr/man/man1/ls.1 at all times. Anything in /usr/share will be "pointed to" by the use of symlinks from other areas in the filesystem, such as /usr/man, /usr/lib/<something>, etc. The next revision of the FSSTND (which will be called FHS) will have much better specifications for /usr/share. The FHS is not yet finished, but rumour has it that it should be done before we make the next freeze. Should we start adapting to the FHS now, or wait until it has been officially released? Daniel, are you reading this, and do you have an opinion? -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
