Details:
Screen comes packaged with and old format man file. It should be updated to
something more modern.
For example, FreeBSD users are required to install Groff just to view this
manpage. Almost all other manpages do not require this external program to
view it.
This is what's currently needed just to view the screen manpage - it just
seems excessive and unnecessary :
$ sudo synth status textproc/groff
Scanning existing packages.
These are the ports that would be built ([N]ew, [R]ebuild, [U]pgrade):
N => devel/gperf
N => print/libpaper
N => dns/libidn
N => graphics/jbig2dec
N => graphics/poppler-data
N => x11-fonts/fontconfig
N => print/ghostscript9-agpl-base
N => print/gsfonts
N => print/psutils
N => textproc/groff
Total packages that would be built: 10
