Hi,
this is my adduser.links:
usr/share/man/da/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/da/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/da/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/da/man8/delgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/de/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/de/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/de/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/de/man8/delgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/es/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/es/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/es/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/es/man8/delgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/fr/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/fr/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/fr/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/fr/man8/delgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/it/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/it/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/it/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/it/man8/delgroup.8.gz
I think you get the idea.
Would it not be nice to be able to write instead:
usr/share/man/*/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/*/man8/addgroup.8.gz
usr/share/man/*/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/*/man8/delgroup.8.gz
or even
usr/share/man/*/man8/adduser.8.gz usr/share/man/*/man8/
usr/share/man/*/man8/deluser.8.gz usr/share/man/*/man8/
Instead?
Greetings
Marc

I was not aware of that feature. I have done this in adduser now.
Thanks.
