I am rather new to gentoo, so I don't know if this has been discussed before. On debian and now gentoo, one little irritating issue is the large number of files in /usr/share/doc. On gentoo there is a very natural solution by mirroring the portage tree in the doc directory. Eg. /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.6 would be /usr/share/doc/net-mail/mutt/mutt-1.5.6 It should be quite easy to implement (I think). For those with USE=doc, packages could register html-documentation in /usr/share/doc/html/ (perhaps symlink) I would like very much to have a http://localhost/doc with persistant filenames across package upgrade.
