This ticket is a follow up on ticket #47687 and goes back to a
[https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
dev/2013-October/024727.html discussion] in October 2013.
The background is that `${prefix}/share/examples` is not mentioned in
hier(7) or the
FHS. Only porthier(7) introduced it for some reason.
As a consequence this ticket proposed:
* To remove `share/examples` from porthier(7) man page
* To audit port for the explicit use of `share/examples`
* I do **not** propose to modify build systems
(but I doubt this location is often (if ever) used to install examples
There is evidence that the following ports install into `share/examples`
(from my personal installation):
* bison
* expat
* glpk
* jbigkit
* krb5
* mpv
* p5.16-error
* py-google-api
* py-poppler-qt4
* py-py2app
* tsocks
* zlib
and I did a quick review of python ports:
* py-celementtree
* py-freebase
* py-google-api
* py-htmltemplate
* py-keyring
* py-lepton
* py-logilab-constraint
* py-pdfrw
* py-poppler-qt4
* py-py2app
* py-pyfsevents
* py-pylibpcap
* py-pyusb
* py-pyxb
* py-rpncalc
* py-simpy
