Colin Watson, who maintains the Debian packages for LDP documents <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200305/msg00216.html">sent
|
|
in a mail</ulink> indicating that the old manifesto boilerplate license
|
|
used on a number of LDP documents was considered non-free by Debian
|
|
legal. He sent in the note that the Debian doc-linux-html and
|
|
doc-linux-text packages will use the GNU GPL, which is permitted by the
|
|
<ulink url="http://en.tldp.org/manifesto.html">clause 2</ulink>. David
|
|
Lawyer however <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200305/msg00245.html">noted</ulink>
|
|
that It's only requested (not required) that the author be contacted in
|
|
case of modifications which may not render the license non-free.

Rahul Sundaram presented his <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4407:200305:ihpahginmljdgbhooeje">opinion
|
|
on</ulink> man pages. He said that they cater to the expert who already
|
|
knows what s/he is dealing with and provided a few examples. Antony E.
|
|
Greene <ulink url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4408:200305:foebgmckkcflneginjhc">said</ulink> that there are two different needs addressed
|
|
by tutorial or step-by-step instructions like the HOWTOs and a terse,
|
|
but comprehensive man on info page. Howard Shane and Machtelt Garrels
|
|
were of the opinion that the LDP should offer its services to improve
|
|
the quality of man pages but that would be a difficult task with the
|
|
resources at the disposal of LDP.

While on the thread, Greg Ferguson <ulink url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4409:200305:loceblldbelajghaloeg">asked</ulink> if people would be interested in a collection of man pages (filtered to HTML via man2html; browseable, etc.) on the LDP site.

During the course of the discussion, <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4426:200305:hgeoklcbfgegcnnilkkp">jdd
|
|
wondered</ulink> if there was some sort of a locate_doc that could
|
|
detect automatically all the documentation available for an
|
|
application. People suggested <ulink
|
|
url="http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net/">scrollkeeper</ulink> and
|
|
<ulink
|
|
url="http://packages.debian.org/stable/doc/dwww.html">dwww</ulink> from
|

the Debian project.
