I think you don't understand what Rake's PackageTask is supposed to do. It's supposed to build a tarball/zip archive that contains stuff in your source tree. So it doesn't need to know where the system stores libraries or man pages... Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
