Hi,
All in all, I do agree with you but I found that the whole documents will
be placed under ~/public_html/data if DESTDIR were not passed to make
command line. Even one passed some value for DESTDIR to make command line,
the whole documents still be placed under ${DESTDIR}/data regardless of any
web servers used.
Should a few words mention this to the readers ?
Really apologized me indeed. This is my limitation, my English.
With Best Regards,
