Greetings:
Could someone tell me which is more appropriate to do? place project
manual files in:
1) usr/share/man/lang/man1/gramps.1.gz, or
2) /usr/local/share/man/man1/gramps.1
Each man page should accompany the program it documents.
i.e. if a program is installed to /usr/bin/
... /usr/share/man/man1 is the location to host its man-page.
if a program is installed to /usr/local/bin
... /usr/local/share/man/man1 is the location to host its man-page.
Which format is also better *.gz or *.1 ???
Common sense and common practice is to let packages install uncompressed
manpages (*.1, *.2, etc.).
In Fedora and other Red Hat-based Linux distributions, these
uncompressed man-pages later are automatically gzip-compressed when
building the corresponding rpm.
