Comments: --=[ REQUIRES gnu-utils.{dsl,uci} ]=--
This package includes the man application, plus the
standard collection of Linux man pages found at
http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/man/, and man pages
for many of the programs available in DSL 1.2.
Some pages may be older or newer than their associated
programs in DSL.
Use the right-click menu or /opt/man/man.sh
Currently this doesn't work with tab completion, but
I'm looking into that.
Change-log: 07/09/2005 First version
27/04/2008 Changes by wdef
- man.sh now sees man pages in ucis and on system
- white background and bigger font for display with right-click menu.

One observation - Mikshaw's info notes refer to requiring gnu-utils, yet I'm pretty sure I've run it without (?). |
I don't remember putting that in there, but I no longer have the original work files to reference. It does seem that some things change over time with DSL. I have an old mplayer package that emphasises that it won't work without XFree86, but it does. This could be something that changed in DSL over the last couple of years, or it could be at the time that I was just clueless.

FWIW: Over time, some busybox tools could've been replaced by their gnu counterparts in the base and some libs could've been added.

Perhaps (guessing) you just meant that there wasn't much point to GNU manpages if gnu utils weren't installed, ie not a strict dependency but made sense to be consistent.

Mmm, I edit my info pages in Scite, often seem to get unpredictable renderings of tabs in the posted files. Are we not supposed to use tabs in the info files?

Seems I was wrong about that one. I must have had openGL installed with something at the time (compile-3.3.5 i assume, can't think what else I had installed yesterday). Funny thing is, today mplayer worked simply by installing mesa3d.uci...no LD_LIBRARY_PATH needed for some reason. In any case, this is off topic...just wanted to correct my previous comment.

@Wdef: I use nano and tabs in my .info-files and they have always worked
