Yes, as bash maintainer, I /did/ try it. However, I didn't realize that there was a typo in the upstream bash_builtins.1 manpage; I just supposed that the text that was there was all it needed - thanks for catching that, and I will forward it upstream. > > It complains about not finding bash.1. I haven't seen man complain - I wonder what your setup is that got a complaint about the typo in the .so? > Do you have a copy of bash.1 lying around somewhere? cygwin man pages are purposefully compressed, so it should be bash.1.gz. > > To get this to work as I think it is intended, I need to: > > > For some reason it doesn't work with a gzipped bash.1. > (A bug in man? It looks like it doesn't gunzip in this case.) Yes, man could be improved to follow .so that have alternate extensions (so that .so man1/bash.1 follows man1/bash.1.gz) - you may want to report that to the upstream man list. Meanwhile, I've corrected my local copy of bash to work in spite of the cygwin gzipping; the next bash release will have the slick trick of inline referencing to the bash builtins section, thanks to your patch pointing that out to me. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
