What are your thoughts?Yes, even though /usr/local/share/doc/pkgname/man/man* is a bit long, it makes more sense than paths like /usr/local/cyrus/man/ /usr/local/heirloom-doctools/man/ /usr/local/lib/erlang21/man/ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/man/ /usr/local/lib/stk/4.0.1/man/ /usr/local/lib/tcl/tcl8.6/man/ /usr/local/plan9/man/ /usr/local/share/fish/man/ Then again, *if* we go the -M alias way, these paths are only ever used in the man.conf(5) file. So where exactly they are has no major impact on the user and is more a matter of system cleanliness.
Yeah, I do want to have system cleanliness, especially to help programmers organizing their file hierarchy know where they should put things.
So, let it be </usr/local/share/doc/pkgname/man/man*>.I'll have a look at the POSIX man pages and see if there's something I can do there.
