Package: manpages-posix Version: 2.16-1 Severity: wishlist
Actually, this is a special case of a more general request. There are cross-references from some of the POSIX man pages to things that are not man pages, e.g. the document "Shell Command Language", without which sh(1posix) is woefully incomplete, as it specifies only the invocation of the shell, not the language it accepts. This particular document is a chapter in the 1003.1 standard. It might be easier just to package the entire standard (if that's allowable) as another non-free package, but in either case it would be great if the man page cross-references were obvious (i.e. made it obvious that "Shell Command Language" is a document that can be found on a Debian system). -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash manpages-posix depends on no packages.
