I was not subscribed, so hopefully I have the references ok. My thoughts: I think pursuing expanding the packages application to handle man pages as well would be the best way forward right now. It already pulls out icons from packages, so I am hoping it wouldn't be too hard to it to also look for man pages and display them somehow. Then we not only have them, but they are up to date, searchable and can leverage an existing setup. Failing that, I am really worried about any solution that is "a bunch of shell scripts" that manipulates all 12,000 of our packages. That's the sort of solution that someone gets working with duct tape and bailing wire and then disappears and Fedora Infrastructure is left trying to keep it working. ;) If we do want to move forward on that path, please see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_For_Resources and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_for_resources_SOP Which is a process that would make sure we have a group of people working on it, there's plans and known resource usage, etc. kevin
