Description Chris Mayo 2008-05-26 11:04:54 UTC
man comes with several cgi scripts that allow access to installed man pages through a web browser. These patches:

- add a cgi USE flag to man-1.6f-r2.ebuild to use webapps eclass to install them
- install the html templates in /usr/share/man-cgi-aux and adjust the cgi scripts to look in this directory for them
- escape a '-' in gsub in mansearch

Further work could include optionally installing app-misc/glimpse and a cron job for it.
