Description Fabio Rossi 2010-08-12 23:04:48 UTC

In #274861 it has been decided to remove entirely xorg-docs. Ok, it's true that the package contains some outdated specs but I think there are some man pages useful to complete the documentation of the X Window System. For instance the X(7) and Xsecurity(7).

So I propose to add back all the man pages in the xorg-docs tarball, maybe not into a standalone package but inside xorg-server.

Manpages were removed because they are not maintained even by upstream.

Those that are interesting are migrated by upstream to named packages and availible in gentoo via doc useflag.

We wont be introducing xorg-docs back.

By the way, it seems that xorg-docs is still maintained:
