So I decided to link every single file (If you take > a look at changes.packaging you can follow my odyssee about the doc > files). Hm, I'm dull again. If the doc packages are all sorted by language, why would there be more than one link or more than one target with the name $lang? At least with texlive-doc-en and texlive-doc-de which I have currently installed, I don't see the problem. >> or alternatively we drop the english subdirectory from >> /usr/share/texlive-doc/, have the individual directories directly in >> there, and multiple symlinks >> >> /usr/share/texlive-doc/english/foo -> ../texlive-doc/foo > > No, because we have also frensh, german, .... I agree that this would be bad. A single user maybe won't mind if the different languages are in one directory, but on a multi-user-multi-languages box it doesn't make sense.
