Should have written, "offering to do^H^Hhelp with the work".

If they are different, they ought *not* to be. There's no vendor
|
|
specific requirement for this, and if it's not in the FHS it should be.

Does anyone know the FHS guideline? I just looked on their website at
|
|
the 2.0 version, but didn't even see /usr/doc listed. Seemed strange;
|
|
maybe it was temporary blindness or something.

|

|

Maybe so. But I'd also be willing to help. It can't be that hard to
|
|
auto-generate current rpms in a script. I don't know anything about
|
|
debian, but I've used rpm a little.
