I see gentoo is currently using man-1.5. IMHO man-db, as used in eg debian and suse, is the better choice. Has anyone worked on an ebuild for man-db? I've started one, but onyl hve the most obvious parts done -- I still have to read up on the details of writing ebuilds.... Man-db is currently hosted at sv.nongnu.org: DESCRIPTION="Database-driven manual pager suite" SRC_URI="http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/man-db/stable.pkg/2.4.1/man-db-2.4.1.tar.gz" HOMEPAGE="http://www.nongnu.org/man-db/" -JimC -- gentoo-dev <at> gentoo.org mailing list
