System: NetBSD nevrast.unicast.com 1.3.1 NetBSD 1.3.1 (NEVRAST) #12: Sat Apr 11 23:03:27 PDT 1998 jwise@nevrast.unicast.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NEVRAST i386 (On a Toshiba Tecra 720, at 31,000 feet, (~10,000 m), in mild turbulence, en route to USENIX)

>Description:
	Traditional berkeley systems used /usr/contrib and /usr/old for semi-official packages and
	compatibility commands, respectively.  With the package system, these are not really needed,
	and have been removed.  /usr/include/paths.h, however, includes both of these directories in
	_PATH_STDPATH, /etc/man.conf searches /usr/contrib/man for man pages, and /usr/contrib is
	documented in hier(7).  IMHO, this should not be the case.  Semi-official packages should be
	in the appropriate package collection, and compatibility commands should be in the emulators
	package collection (cf /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat_1[12]).
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ more /usr/include/paths.h
	/* All standard utilities path. */
	#define _PATH_STDPATH \
		"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/contrib/bin:/usr/old/bin"

	$ man hier
	[...]
	 	/usr/      contains the majority of the system utilities and files
	[...]
                	contrib/  packages maintained by groups other than Berkeley
	[...]
	(/usr/old is not documented)

	$more /etc/mk.conf
	[...]
	_default        /usr/{share,pkg,X11R6,X386,X11,X11R4,contrib,gnu,local}/{man,man/old}/
	[...]
	# Other sections that represent complete man subdirectories.
	contrib         /usr/contrib/man/
	new             /usr/contrib/man/
	[...]
	(man.conf is due for a cleaning in many ways, BTW)
>Fix:
	IMHO, /usr/contrib and /usr/old should be removed from:
		${BSDSRCDIR}/include/paths.h
		${BSDSRCDIR}/man/man7/hier.7
		${BSDSRCDIR}/etc/man.conf
