Use a subsection. For instance, somepackage(1dsc) goes in $(mandir)/man1/somepackage.1dsc.gz. This should avoid clashes, and you can pass man the '-e dsc' option to look at those pages exclusively. It might also be a good idea to write to /usr/local/man by default rather than /usr/share/man. Would it be possible to make it easier to use for those who don't use debiansynch? I couldn't figure out how to get it to work at all - whatever I tried just ended up with "0 processed of 0". I don't have a local mirror, so I'd like it just to use the available file. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
