Hi all, I have written a small script to make it easy to submit manpage improvements (it's attached). I believe that it much more effective to submit a patch, rather than explaining what needs to be improved. The tool works like quilt, dpatch & co. One would just invoke: $man-reportbug chfn The script simply invoke man to dump the manpage as plain text, then open it in the user's prefered text editor. After editing the text, report-bug is automatically launched against the appropriate package, and a diff of the manpage is attached. (By mistake, I have submitted http://bugs.debian.org/551681, so you can have a look:-/ ) There is one issue: most of the bugs will have to be forwarded upstream. (I suppose that in a perfect world, each upstream would have a vcs which could be used to pull/commit pages...) I would get your opinions on how to make this useful/convenient. Thanks, Franklin
