http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/LFS-MANDB/chapter06/man-db.html ...I have a couple of questions: I added a bit more (prematurely) in how Man-DB uses the table to figure out which supported directories to search (at least I believe that is how it works...trying to verify tomorrow morning), and then determining the encoding by extension, or by table lookup. If incorrect, I've saved the old text. Let me know, if you know the answer already. I also might have overstepped my bounds a bit when I included the other distributions mess and added "...and even worse yet, unreadable error messages when a suitable manual page is not found." I know that you've piped in on this before, but I'm unclear of the scope. Was this an LFS only problem in that we didn't pass '+lang none' to Man's build? I thought it would make a nice addition, but now I'm not so sure. If inappropriate, not technically correct, or no longer valid, it will be removed. Also, I think the one line paragraph above the table can be removed completely since the table is explained in the paragraph above that, but I'm not sure. Any additional comments or suggestions are again welcomed. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
