Hello List Readers,
I checked the archives and didn't see signs that this was previously known: I came
across a project ("gnumaniak") that is creating more updated man pages for (many of
the core) Gnu apps we use ...
http://www.userfriendly.net/linux/RPM/contrib/noarch/noarch/gnumaniak-1.4-1.noarch.html
This seems like a good thing ... I know the GNU org prefer info docus as a policy, and
are not keeping the manpages current. Several times i haven't had `info' working but
man was, so i think this is a good thing. Not trying to argue policy or anything, just
sharing information.
As an aside: the packaging posed a significant obstacle for me: this is done up as an
rpm, and I didn't have any `rpm', and so I downloaded the `rpm' Cygwin port from:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/rpm-3.0.3/index.html
and tried to install it. I didn't see anything (in time) telling me to `touch
/etc/mtab' after running `rpm --initdb' tho, and so i cannot say I have it running
yet (I'll have to reboot into NT before i can try to apply this newly-acquired
information...).
BTW -- is there any other, newer, in any way 'better' rpm for Cygwin which i should
know about?
Best to cygwin in the New Year,
Soren Andersen
