First, I apologise for altering your description. I always find trac incredibly awkward to use, and I thought I had clicked on the reply button - which is why I deleted what I was not replying to. I assumed the quoting which appeared online was because trac had been upgraded to a newer version. As to man pages, if people want to add extra pages to their own systems I don't have any problem with that. But we aren't a regular distro, and I don't see that anybody will willingly check additional pages when a new version of a package is released, or update them as necessary for added or removed options. For checking other distros, I limit myself to what they do for build instructions and patches, and only if I have a problem. For fedora, it's usually straightforward to find their patches in cvs web, and to read their specfiles. For debian, I have to download a .diff.gz, then read through it to see if there is anything relevant. I do not run anything except LFS and clfs. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
