Description Attila Fazekas 2007-07-06 11:46:36 UTC

I often  search about commands and syscalls via internet because some man-page is not in a portage's man-page.

It contains more page than man-pages-*.tar.gz :
http://hany.sk/mirror/fedora/releases/7/Everything/source/SRPMS/man-pages-2.44-1.fc7.src.rpm

We should include it, if it's possible.

If you want more manpages, then ask to get them included upstream. :)
