IMHO this one will not be accepted upstream and I'd like to drop it but our support people do insist on it as it seems to be useful.
It's a nice feature to have the *option* of using, but yes I agree it is probably too disruptive to get accepted upstream as is. I guess it would be more likely to be accepted if it didn't change the default behaviour but instead offered a new option (e.g. -A or --prompt-all) to provide our current default behaviour. Then SUSE distributions could retain the current default behaviour by adding export MANOPT="--prompt-all" into /etc/profile.d, and other distros would also have the option of switching the default if they wanted.
For version 2.6.3 see openSUSE:Factory.
Cool, thanks.
For accessing local manual page simply use
man -l /home/adam/.STOW/git/share/man/man1/git-commit.1
Sure, but that's too much typing ;-)
If you have an idea how to extend the patch to be able to display shadows of a standard manual page then let me know.
The first step would be to fix it so that entering '1+' at the interactive prompt uses the shadow. If there are multiple shadows then presumably we need something a bit cleverer, e.g. '1+1', '1+2' etc., or '5+1', '5+2' if there were multiple shadows of a page in section 5. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
