V6.3 anyone building man pages?

[gordon64]

Hi

I have build a package that includes doc and need to test its man page but can't find the man pages TCZ
Anyone building it or have earmarked it TODO?

If its already built forgive me and tell me where to look.

I tried apps  ---provides man

I tried tce-ab and search for man.

If its not earmarked by someone would you like me to have a go?

cheers and thanks in advance.

Apps is not a command line tool.
In Apps, type "man" in the search window.

If you really did a "search" in tce-ab, how did you miss man and man-pages?

forgive me if I am wrong and am referring to Corepure64.

in apps, click browse type in man and photo is result



in terminal type tce-ab  click search and type man and photo is result



any more clues?

EDIT  ignore attachment ....at moment I can't seem to edit and remove it...its a duplicate of embedded image.

man pages are welcome in the corepure64 repo - there just doesn't happen to be any at the moment...

Hi

I have seen your other replies but will get back to you later on them.
In the middle of rebuilding to have both 32 bit stuff  .....to cheat off 
which means I plan to use  2 main folders called 32  and 64---to contain everything  but not yet complete.

Off topic to this thread but to save posting incomplete stuff in the gnome-terminal thread....I was on just flwm with no specific locale set.
I will reply there when I have completed rebuild....sorry.

2) Then I will have a go at man pages. I did ask permission of 2 of your esteemed colleagues if I could have a go at their packages normally maintained on 32 bit,
but I can't test the doc until man command exists can I

I hope you don't mind this thread open in case more experienced 64 users suggest they prefer to do it.

To others,
########
 I have yet to submit any packages so can not claim to have any experience in 64 builds so feel free to submit.
Other wise.....when I build it but not yet submitted...I will post here to let users know its in the pipeline.

Hope that reads better than it sounds.....but I know I am not quite up to speed yet.

cheers

This is a post in Corepure64

I have not yet looked at man-pages but have built
man-db and some new dependencies that replaces the old upstream man.

Apparently man is not so well updated and a quick test of running
man whatis  from man-db and its doc is good.

so I will test more etc before submitting.

I am still not as good as coder as most here so please be patient while I plod along.

thanks for reading

pms sent to both 5X maintainers now that I know I got man and man-pages working
AFAIK and more testing to follow.
