[Nano-devel] the sample nanorc file among the docs

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hello Jordi,

Currently, in 'man 5 nanorc' it says this:

SEE ALSO
       nano(1)

       /usr/share/doc/nano/examples/nanorc.sample  (or equivalent on your 
system)

On my Ubuntu box that sample file exists (well, it is gzipped,
but okay).  But on my Manjaro box there is no such sample file,
not anywhere in the filesystem.

This file seems to be Debian specific -- in the rules of the
Debian package for nano there is this:

        mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/nano/usr/share/doc/nano/examples
        cp $(nanobuild)/doc/nanorc.sample \
          $(CURDIR)/debian/nano/usr/share/doc/nano/examples

Now the question is: should I remove the above mention from
the nanorc.5 man page?  (But that would mean that you would
have to patch it back in.) Or should I add nanorc.sample in
Makefile.am to the files that get installed by default into
/usr/share/doc/nano/?

I am tending toward the latter option.  Although one might argue
that the existence of /etc/nanorc itself is sample enough.

What do you think?

Benno
