I see gentoo is currently using man-1.5.
IMHO man-db, as used in eg debian and suse, is the better choice.
Has anyone worked on an ebuild for man-db?
I've started one, but onyl hve the most obvious parts done -- I still
have to read up on the details of writing ebuilds....
Man-db is currently hosted at sv.nongnu.org:
DESCRIPTION="Database-driven manual pager suite"
SRC_URI="http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/man-db/stable.pkg/2.4.1/man-db-2.4.1.tar.gz"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.nongnu.org/man-db/"
