[Bug 644467] /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.groff overwrites /etc/papersize

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644467 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644467#c4 --- Comment #4 from Johannes Meixner 2010-10-08 10:15:50 UTC --- Only out of curiosity: I wonder why groff writes a system-wide /etc/papersize file and not its own /etc/groff/papersize when only groff needs it? What else except groff needs /etc/papersize? I wonder why groff needs a somewhat hardcoded papersize value at all. Wouldn't it be sufficient or even better if groff determined its paper size value only according to the current locale of the user who curently runs groff? Why cannot /etc/papersize be completely removed together with its awkward SuSEconfig magic? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
