Bug#1051668: tldr-hs: Please allow to share the pages between users

[Martin Quinson]

Package: tldr-hs
Version: 0.9.2-4
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

if I understand correctly, the pages are downloaded under ~/.local/share/tldr
for each user. This is somewhat suboptimal for multi-users systems, and it
would be much better to allow their download somewhere under /usr/share/tldr

Updating the pages in this location could only be done by root, forcing the
package to take care of them (eg with a cron page), but that would be a small
relief for the users.

My specific use case is that I'd like to preconfigure access to tldr to users
without requiring a network access on the first use by a given user, but I'm
sure that this feature would be helpful in other contexts too.

Thanks for this great tool,
Mt
