--- Comment #2 from Adam Spiers
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.
