Hello,
I'd like to switch from man
(
http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/) to man-db project
(
http://man-db.nongnu.org/).
man-db seems for me to be better choice then the original man. The
reasons are:
* the upstream very active in man-db, man upstream almost does not
response and the last version was released in 2007
* because of the previous comment man-db have more features then man
* man-db uses Berkeley db instead of text file for the index of man
pages
* Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE use man-db
As the first step I want to add man-db to fedora cvs.
Comments welcomed.
I think this is a good idea.
This would of course need to be a new package that would either not
conflict with or simply obsolete/replace the existing man-db package,
right?
