From kde-devel Fri May 04 08:27:49 2001 From: Ben Burton Date: Fri, 04 May 2001 08:27:49 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: Man pages (kdesdk, koffice) X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=98896518419535 (I'm sending this to kde-devel also since it's a general KDE issue, not just Debian). > I've just been informed however, that the Debian KDE packages have already > been creating manual pages. A cursory search through our CVS finds me a > handful of these, three in the kdebase module to be precise. I have a set of man pages written for all the apps in kdesdk and koffice. In particular this includes every command-line utility in kdesdk (of which there are many). You can find them all in the CVS under kdesdk/debian/*.1 (and koffice/debian/*.1). Aspects of the man pages that are debian-specific: Some of them refer the reader to author's notes, html docs and the like in debian-specific paths (eg. /usr/share/doc/kword/html). The man pages for qtdoc and kdedoc (from kdesdk) are very debian-specific since I patched the scripts to look for the corresponding Qt/KDE docs in the debian-installed locations; both of these man pages also have a DEBIAN USERS section detailing how to get the Qt/KDE docs. I can't speak for anyone else's man pages, but feel free to take all of those from kdesdk and koffice and put them in /doc in whatever format you like. My only desire is that they can be converted back into *roff format since Debian requires a man page for executable. Btw, I'm also happy to keep maintaining the English versions of these docs if people would like it (and I'm happy not to if people would prefer that also :) ). My only other request is that people let me know if/when the man pages are converted and placed in /doc so I can pull them from debian/ and change the packaging details accordingly.
