[Nix-dev] --infodir and --mandir (was: [Nix-commits] SVN commit: nix - r24601 ...)

nobody wants to change the info/man dirs for every single package out
there. I fixed the locations only for those packages that put them into
a non-standard location.

You realize that I changed the expressions to put --infodir and --mandir
into exactly those locations, right? Prior to that, those directories
had been located at $out/{info,man}, which is annoying, IMHO.

Take care,
