Hi,

I've used netpbm for years, and for me it has only one flaw:
no man pages.  As Christian Weisgerber wrote in message

I often work on a laptop when travelling, i.e. without a network
connection, so having only "documentation on the web site" often means
no documentation at all.

So... what about providing a snapshot of the html docs (i.e. local
html-docs tree) as part of the netpbm package?  As it is, I (and anyone
else who wants a local set of documentation) have to fumble around with
each new OpenBSD version to get the right set of wget options to get a
local copy of the netpbm web sit.

ciao,
