Hi all,

The ~arch version of portage hs a new QA check that reports installation
of files outside of directories that have been whitelisted [1]. The
current whitelist includes:

directories common to / and /usr
================================
bin lib lib32 lib64 libx32 sbin

top level directories
================================
boot dev etc opt srv usr var

/usr level directories
================================
include libexec share src

/usr/share/doc level directories
================================
/usr/share/doc/${PF}

The first bug report [2] is for qt-core, which installs documentation
into  /usr/share/doc/${PN}-${PV} instead of /usr/share/doc/${PF} (${PF}
includes ebuild revision such as -r1, -r2, and so on).

I have created a patch that will allow ebuilds to whitelist directories
by setting a QA_INSTALL_PATHS variable [3], however @mgorny said:
