Removed pages (!)
|

-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
New pages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Most Section 1 man pages are removed
|
||||
mtk (with help from Mike Frysinger, Laird Shaw, Andreas Halter)
|
||||
Once upon time Andries added a number of Section 1 manual pages
|
||||
to man-pages. However, since that time, those pages have not
|
||||
seen much maintenance, and are not in fact distributed in most
|
||||
distributions. Instead most distributions supply the
|
||||
coreutils versions of these pages, which are currently
|
||||
maintained. In addition, man-pages provides the 1p pages,
|
||||
which document the portable subset of functionality of these
|
||||
commands. Since the man1 pages are mostly unneeded, and
|
||||
out of date, I'm removing them. The following pages disappear:
|
||||
|
||||
chgrp.1
|
||||
chmod.1
|
||||
chown.1
|
||||
cp.1
