           Summary: split c++ module info from baselib
           Product: Specification
           Version: 3.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: C++-generic
        AssignedTo: mats at freestandards.org
        ReportedBy: mats at freestandards.org
         QAContact: lsb-bugs at freestandards.org


It would make more logical sense if the C++ module had its own directory in
lsbspec.  At the moment, every other module has its own subdirectory; module
sets then have an additional directory which holds only set-specific
information.  As an example of the latter, by way of clarification of the last
statement, the individual modules of Desktop have their own directories,
however some introductory chapters are needed for the LSB-Desktop bookset and
those are handled in the Desktop directory.

C++ is unique at the moment in that it is handled inside the LSB (core) module,
even though it's not technically part of LSB-Core.  There's a historical reason
for this; C++ was expected to be part of core at one time, then for various
reasons (not the least of which was that an LSB-Core was submitted as the ISO
specification which did not include C++), it did not end up being that way, but
a separate module and a separate book.

This is an enhancement request so we can discuss whether or not moving C++ to
its own home is the right move - consistency is not always the only
consideration.
