Ummm... I am willing to *help* with creating packages, but I don't
have the time, resources, or expertise to do it all myself.
I guess I didn't realize that the differences were so severe between
the various RPM-related distros and between Debian and Corel. I
thought that RPMs were basically the same, although admittedly they
put them in potentially different directories.
Perhaps LDP should specify a distribution-neutral location for all
the HOWTOs, such as /opt/doc or /opt/ldp. Or perhaps this is /usr/doc.
It just seems like there should be a place for them to always reside.
Then the packages could just install into that dir and they could
work across all distros.
And perhaps it's just too much of a pain in the neck.
Regards,
Dan
