$ man tar The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead. Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with invariant cover texts, which violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines. As a result, the info documentation for tar is not included in the Debian package.
Well then they must be in some new package. What are the names of all the new additional doc packages I should remember to download on my next trip to town, lest I be bereft of all the documents I used to have, for packages like tar? If you want to read the complete documentation for GNU tar, please refer to the online version at <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/man- ual/index.html>. But I am an offline user. One would think one could just check the Suggests or Recommends for the new split packages, to find out the name of the new non-free document packages, but it turns out that that doesn't seem reliable... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
