Other dists have these man pages. Debian in general requires a man page for every command, et al. Gentoo should start a policy to also require man pages. Most of the work is already done: grab the pages from the debs and/or rpms. (More precisely from the sources for the debs and rpms.) Clearly the licensing permits such cross-pollination. Take advantage of it. -JimC P.S. Wierd! ispell -- even though as installed here is older than gentoo -- recognized gentoo as spelled correctly, but did not recognize debian.... Nor does it recognize redhat or suse. :-) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
