package version names in directory inside /usr/share/doc

Hello all,

please.. is this OK from Arch's point of view?

/usr/share/doc/tuxpaint-0.9.29

Or it should rather be:

/usr/share/doc/tuxpaint

?

find /usr/share/doc -maxdepth 1 -type d -name '*-[0-9]*' | wc -l  # 34 (including a false match: ntfs-3g)
find /usr/share/doc -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name '*-[0-9]*' | wc -l  # 1259

Should this be reported and fixed (unless there is a good reason to keep it)? Thank you, j

It's atypical, but I don't see why it'd be at all problematic. If there's no good reason for it, then I'd request the packager change it as an improvement, but I'd hardly call it a bug.

But what package is this from? [AUR]/tuxpaint already includes a fix for this and moves that directory to /usr/share/doc/tuxpaint.

EDIT: tuxpaint-git may not include this fix, and you could ask the maintainer of that package to add it. But again, is there actually a problem?
