renpy.1

Hello,

right now renpy has no manual page which leads to misunderstanding (see bug 515608). I prepared a small man page which describes basic usage and some tips.
Please add it to the tree.

Manual page is installed as ${P}.1 because of slotting, though it is identical for all versions right now.

I guess we could also modify eselect renpy to set the manpage symlink

I see little point doing this as man pages will be identical.

BTW there is no standard way to manage man pages symlinks (e.g. no related eselect lib), so it needs a lot of coding and half of current implementations are broken (they assume only selected set of possible compression extensions).

Upstream still hasn't replied to this issue after considerable time. Should we apply man-page as-is to the tree?

Probably because there is no
* proper pull request
* the manpage as it is contains gentoo-specific information

Can you fix those things and send a pull request?
