Title: [NONCODE] Ship man page for every executable
openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation
Priority
Requester: Mandatory
Requested by: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
User / Administrator should find a dedicated man page for every
- executable in SLE 11 SP 1. This should be implemented starting with
- openSUSE 11.2.
+ executable in openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise systems. This should
+ be implemented starting with openSUSE 11.2.

Discussion:
#2: Stefan Behlert (sbehlert) (2008-10-22 15:00:11)
I agree with the intention, but shouldn't it be rather 'documentation
for each executable'? Newer stuff uses mostly info-pages, afaiks
#3: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) (2008-11-10 14:31:15) (reply to #2)
It is valid to have a pointer to the info pages in the man-pages, sure.
But man-pages are the UNIX proposed way of doing documentation.
