Hi,
(CC'd to docs-list)
My summer project[1] is at a stage where I need to think about finding all of
the man pages in a Fedora release. I have basic CVS integration working so
that the user can specify a package and a branch and it imports the man pages
from that package to the wiki (by downloading the source tarball). You can
read more about the status of my project from my newest weekly report[2].
But what do you think is the best way of finding all of the man pages in a
release?
- Do a "cvs -co", parse it, download every source package and search for man
files?
- Or download filelists.xml from a repository mirror, parse it to find every
package that contains man pages, then download the RPMs and extract the man
pages from them?
- Any other ideas?
I am extracting the man pages from the RPM files.
And in any case, how to handle package updates?
May be a small script to extract the man page from the latest RPM.
