]] Josselin Mouette | In my opinion, we’d be better off with no manual page than with one | that is not maintained correctly. However the current policy | encourages shipping a buggy manual page over not shipping it at all.
Would a reasonable compromise be to ship a man page that says something along the lines of this is program $foo, it's used for task A, B, C, please see /usr/share/doc/$foo/html or yelp:$foo for the real documentation. Also, see $foo --help for help on command line switches. It's still an effort to create those pages, but the description of what a program does should change seldom and it keeps apropos(1) and similar tools useful. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
