This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux
|
|
manual pages. These pages were originally maintained by Rik Faith
|
|
and then taken over by Andries Brouwer <aeb@cwi.nl>.
|
|
|
|
This package was initially put together for Debian GNU/Linux by
|
|
Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> and updated by
|
|
Nicolás Lichtmaier <nick@debian.org>.
|
|
|
|
This package contain the Linux man pages for all chapters
|
|
except 1, 6 and 8.
|
|
|
|
Some pages present in the upstream version were removed because a better
|
|
version exists in other package. These pages are:
|
|
|
|
manpages:
|
|
console.4, fd.4, ttytype.5, passwd.5
|
|
|
|
This package doesn't include section 1 manpages included in the upstream
|
|
package. The upstream manpages author decided to include GNU utils
|
|
non-official manpages here, as the FSF doesn't want to maintain them. I
|
|
agree with him, but these manpages should be added to the corresponding
|
|
Debian package of the GNU utilities, not here.
|
|
|
|
Having manpages is very important to every operating system. It is much
|
|
work to keep those documents up to date and to initially write them.
|
|
Nevertheless some folks made some of this work. Contributions are
|
|
welcome.
