But the original point by Andreas was that third-party tools like "git work" should be able to just say "make install", and of course the distro people can take it from there, but the thing is, distro people can take it from a very low starting point. Unless "make install" does not figuire out how the user's git is configured and installed, it won't be very useful for end users who do say "make install" for whatever reason, instead of installing it from their distro. For example, on my primary development box, I do not have any git installed from distribution, but I do have git on my $PATH. For such users, "make install" should be able to find out that the right place to install git-work.1 is in $HOME/some/where/man/man1 directory. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
