i just sent the exchange below to Gentoo User, but it occurs to me that there's a tiny alert for developers too.
whence are 'man' files obtained for inclusion in Gentoo ? when/how are they updated ? can Gentoo developers add things, if needed ? more particularly, cd someone add a line re 'bash -x' to 'man bash' ? -- start quote -- 040208 Norbert Kamenicky wrote: > Paul Stear wrote: >>> bash -x script >> that's just what I was looking for.
