Actually that's interesting. Perhaps the authors of the packages
themselves should have some sort of specfile to designate information
about their files which another build tool could use to build the
layout for particular distribution's needs. So the build tool could
have different adapters, FHS adaptor, Gentoo Adapter, Windows
Adaptor... not sure how the specfile mihgt look though.
This is the model I've been proposing to Austin. We're still
discussing if it is reasonable, and details.

That makes sense. Though I imagine, even in their case some of it is
overkill. Plus consider that even if it is all quite rational, if it is
just too complex how effective is it gogin to be anyway?
Exactly. Some parts are almost certainly overkill, and it's just
necessary to find out what parts.

Thanks. So would that be
/usr/share/doc/site_ruby/1.8/packagename/examples/
for ruby libs?
