Excuse me for reading this as your statement being “I won’t work on it” but you cannot say that “no-one” will. For example, if the Debian maintainer of those manual pages considers this a good idea, they are free to work on this. One manpage at a time is good enough. > And, related to the current discussion, the Debian tmpfs-config > would not belong in that section. Of course not. I stated something quite different: > > Hmm.

The configuration file manpage can be kept in section 5 then. bye, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg
