imo having them under PREFIX/share/doc/pkgname makes them hard to find, whereas PREFIX/share/README.OpenBSD/pkgname (where pkgname is the actual file of info) would be imo easy enough to find that we wouldn't have to say whether it exists and where to find it if so. I think it would also be nice if README.OpenBSD were in pkg/ dirs and handled automatically, kinda like MESSAGE is now. adding files/ dirs seems like a waste. unfortnately, I have already mailed my wishlist to Santa ... got some audio stuff and a uvideo, but no pkg patches :( -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
