Bug#472460: tkman: font selection drop-down is unusable
Hola Carlos! El 24/03/2008 a las 19:00 escribiste: I have tried xman, and it lacks a lot of features that TkMan has. It allows you to browse a directory of manual pages, select one and read it... and that's all. TkMan, on the other hand, has a lot of useful features that I won't repeat here, because most of them are listed on the package description. In my opinion, there is no comparison with xman. I was going to try yelp, per your suggestion, but... ...I don't really think that 30 MB for a manpage reader is reasonable :-/. Ok, thanks for your opinion. Would you be interested in helping maintaing tkman? What's the problem with TkMan? Isn't it maintained upstream? My problem with tkman is that I don't speak tcl/tk.

[Maximiliano Curia [EMAIL PROTECTED], 2008-03-25 05.13 CET] [...] Ok, thanks for your opinion. Would you be interested in helping maintaing tkman? Sure, but I can't do much at this moment, not knowing tcl/tk or this program. I'll try to understand them and let you know.

Back when I adopted this package there weren't any valid replacements for tkman, today I believe xman is quite good for a small replacement of tkman, and yelp (gnome's help center) has an excellent integration with manpages which was missing a few years ago. Have you used the packages mentioned? Is there a reason to keep tkman around? -- The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck, is probably the day Microsoft starts making vacuum cleaners. -- (Ernst Jan Plugge) Saludos /\/\ /\ `/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
