They seem to be pre-6.0. Is there another site that has them online (other than downstreams like Linux distros that host their own man pages)? Or is there some way I can help with getting them updated?This really reminds me that we need to figure out such a solution for Gentoo. I'm often quite envious of Arch's viewer & rendering of all theirs.
Yes, that one is nice (it has some formatting issues in the examples (whitespace; check here: <https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/man-pages/_Generic.3.en>), but it's rather nice apart from that.
I'm not aware of an up to date copy of man-pages on the web. IIRC, Michael Kerrisk has stepped down from maintaining man-pages as he's busy, so a redirect may be needed if access to that site can't be given to Alex :(
man7.org is Michael's property. The best thing to do is get him to maintain it. Other than that, I don't think the effort is worth it to open a clone of it; distros like Debian or Arch already have it. Maybe for gentoo it's worth it, though.
Cheers, Alex
thanks, sam
