Does anybody remember why we chose "nodoc", "noinfo", and > "noman" instead of a generic INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/doc > /usr/share/man ..." flag which could be more general? I would really really really like an install mask for various places and also wondered about the noman noinfo solution after it got implemented. There are many places where i hate files being installed by portage (like the BIND dir with it's example and localhost zones). Christian -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
