Proposal regarding future packaging: Add an additional manual page to new/future/updated packages that is the same as the package name. IF and only IF there would NOT be a conflict with an existant necessary manual page AND IF there is no binary in a package that is the same as the package name.
Examples only two of many: package casu installs flon package netdiag installs trafshow among others If after I install casu or netdiag, I type man casu or man netdiag there is nothing. whereis / find / apt-cache search / apt-file search were necessary How many current debian users and users of forked distributions know of apt-file or even that they must install it first AND update it first? Further, I suggest that these additional manual pages be as simple and easy as possible to create (keep it simple). At least mention all the executables or other useful and necessary parts of the package. They would only be important / useful / necessary for packages that do not contain a binary/executable/script of the same name as the package. In this way you could type in: man netdiag or man casu after installing those respective packages and at least have some idea on how to proceed. Thank you for your time and I hope my prose and/or logic does not cause any untimely deaths amongst the list membership. -- kspath at SPATH dot NET :: FreeBSD CentOS Debian OpenSolaris :: Ion3 Mrxvt :: Lua Perl Python :: Apache Postfix OpenLDAP PostgreSQL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
