4 Hi. I am rather new to gentoo, so I don't know if this has been
5 discussed before.

7 On debian and now gentoo, one little irritating issue is the large
8 number of files in /usr/share/doc. On gentoo there is a very natural
9 solution by mirroring the portage tree in the doc directory.

11 Eg. /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.5.6 would be
12 /usr/share/doc/net-mail/mutt/mutt-1.5.6
13
14 It should be quite easy to implement (I think).
15
16 For those with USE=doc, packages could register html-documentation in
17 /usr/share/doc/html/<package> (perhaps symlink)
18 I would like very much to have a http://localhost/doc with persistant
19 filenames across package upgrade.
