Do AUTHORS, TRANSLATORS, and NEWS get installed with the binary packages on linux? If not, where should they go and how do I get them there?
Some packages do, usually to /usr/share/doc/$packagename, but the actual location varies between distributions. Autopackages don't do this by default as it's assumed end users never actually read them (which I think it's a fair assumption),
I read the files in /usr/share/doc. Very often it is the first place I look.
and they tend to be useless anyway (eg empty NEWS files, enormous ChangeLogs).
If Inkscape is going to show them in the GUI though - which I agree would be excellent - it's easy to install them to /usr/share/inkscape
Let's do that then. Who knows what has to change to make that happen always?
