Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #308353, revision 1 Title: get rid of mandb cron job openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Description: /etc/cron.daily/suse-do_mandb runs every day to create the man page indexes and the whois databae even if no package was installed. This exercises the hard disk quite a bit. A smarter solution would be to update the index and whois db each time a manpage gets added or removed, just like it's done with info pages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308353
