Package: libc-bin Version: 2.10.1-5 Severity: wishlist
The Debian glibc package introduces a number of custom manual pages which are not in any kind of upstream and thus cannot be shared with the rest of Linux community, which is quite unfortunate, since it reduces usability of other Linux distributions but also reduces quality of the documentation since less people see it and work on it. While upstream glibc does not maintain any manual pages, the linux-man-pages projects collects all kind of Linux-related manual pages, including glibc-specific manual pages not only on the API, but also on tools (like ldd). It would be great if the Debian-specific manual pages could be submitted there for review and inclusion. For some manual pages that _are_ upstream, e.g. ldd.1, the upstream version is more up-to-date than the version currently included; this should also demonstrate the value of taking these manpages from upstream. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
