I'm very pleased to announce that gnumaniak is now DFSG free (AFAICT). Gnumaniak is a collection of man pages for various gnu utilities that are actually kept up-to-date, thus freeing us from the evils of info. Although these man-pages could be rolled up in a separate package, I think it would be better if the maintainers of the affected packages would incorporate these into their releases. Packages and maintainers are listed below: binutils (gasp) - Christopher Chimelis <chris@classnet.med.miami.edu> diff - Santiago Vila <sanvila@cvt.es> fileutils - Galen Hazelwood <gelenh@micron.net> libtool - Frederic Lepeid <Lepeid@debian.org> shellutils - Galen Hazelwood <gelenh@micron.net> textutils - Galen Hazelwood <gelenh@micron.net> The new license can be found at http://blevins.simplenet.com/ldp-license-a.txt which replaces the old license at http://blevins.simplenet.com/ldp-license.txt You can get the gnumaniak tarball at http://personal.redestb.es/ragnar/gnumaniak-1.1a.tar.gz If the maintainers of the affected packages choose not to incorporate these, then I think the best way to package them would be to divide them up into the packages that they effect. (gnumaniak-binutils, gnumaniak-diff, gnumaniak-fileutils, etc) Do any potential gnumaniatainers (my word) want to step up and volunteer to pick these up if needed? I'd like to thank Ragnar Hojland for making it possible for us to distribute his great documentation efforts. -Mitch
