Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-02-03
==========================================

Present: anicka, mhrusecky, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik, prusnak, sbrabec

Minutes: anicka

Topics:
(1) Missing Manpages

(1) Missing Manpages
====================

As an internal discussion shows, most of the developers generally agree that
policy of having manpage for every executable would bring us benefits. There
are several different ways how to do it: We could profit on the fact that
Debian has similar policy for ages and their manpages are usually written in a
very good quality. But we would have to find a way how to keep our different
versions of packages in sync with these manpages. We could also generate very
simple manpages containing just a link to the proper documention using ie.
help2man.

We think that as for packages with upstream reluctant to take care for
manpages, common repository for all the distributors would be a great help.

And of course, executables might be just a first step - it would be very
convenient to have a manpage containing useful information for every config
file, or, especially, for every init script.
