Ah, that brings up a follow up question. If many of the ebuild packages have built in documentation, then is there a tool/package/web_interface that allow the document perusal without individual(admin) interaction?
Well the general rule is that package documentation files other than man pages and info docs get installed under /usr/share/doc/<pkg>-<version>. This would include html, pdfs, and text files. For example, bind-tools, ntp, python-docs, etc all install their user manuals under this directory. The bad news is that this doesn't include everything. Build instructions or other items not normally installed as part of the package will not be found here. In some cases it is necessary to look for extra documentation files in the source archives, the web site, or even the CVS repository of the upstream project that provides the package. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
