Summary: Manpage Update Needed Project: GNU Screen Submitted by: mayhem30 Submitted on: Mon 04 Feb 2019 04:34:43 PM UTC Category: Feature Request Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.6.2 Fixed Release: None Planned Release: None Work Required: None _______________________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55644> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
