Bug#264589: www.debian.org: Online manpages, preferably linked by package?
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
It would be useful for Debian users if man pages for software in the
Debian archives were available through the website. This could be
automated to make sure that not only the manpages, but the correct
versions of the manpages, were available to Debian users. Currently,
finding a manpage for a non-installed package is a fairly haphazard
affair involving lots of Googling, and having a central repository would
be very handy since installing a package just to read a manpage is
time-consuming.
It would also be good if there could be an interface to these manpages
via packages.debian.org - when viewing information on a particular
version of a package, it could have links to the manpages within the
package along with the existing links to the Changelog etc.
