Re: [Machinekit] [Announcement] Improved documentation and website

I don't think it will be fruitful to enter into any further debates. However: >>  I see halcmd as something like grep. It runs from the command line, and its documentation should be available from the command line. >> But "man halcmd" doesn't work, and that seems to be a policy decision by machinekit leadership. I simply cannot agree with that decision. Such is life. "mank halcmd" DOES work on the command line. 'Anything related to machineKit, add a K' I did consider the feasibility of having an 'interception script'  via /etc/alternatives for man, to fork machinekit display requests one way and normal man pages another. However since there is no Machinekit distro and machinekit could be installed on any kind of linux distro, that was not going to be achievable without a lot of bother and undoubted breakages. I don't think typing one extra letter is too bad a compromise.  Try it. regards PS. I have now removed all dependencies from the package `machinekit-manual-pages`.  This will kick in after the next website production build, or by 0934 CET tomorrow at the latest. Then one will be able to install the manual pages even if you don't have machinekit installed, for study or whatever.  Another hurdle lowered. (however you will need machinekit to provide mank, to view them on the command line.  Viewing using a browser plugin is of course unaffected ) -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
