Package: manpages Version: 2.34-1 Severity: normal I have been using regexps for about 4 years now, and even I can't understand regex(7).
I therefore propose a rewrite, to be much longer, a much gentler introduction for people who don't understand them, to include plenty of examples to illustrate, and generally improve the whole thing. I've not done a great amount of manpage writing before, other than lots of POD in perl code, that gets translated. But I have a far amount of experience at writing documentation on code (API docs), and lots of experience at using REs. People I meet on IRC say they've learned more from a 30second 5line rant of mine than in the entire manpage. Perhaps I could write a replacement for debian? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-mh3.nim Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
