I've been thinking about this as well, but we already have FreeBSD ports that don't contain a Linuxulator. Granted it's less optimal to have 5 copies because you have 5 out of 6 FreeBSD ports with a Linuxulator (any resemblance of these numbers with actual numbers is purely circumstantial :-), but it's more correct. It seems silly to have a linux manpage in a FreeBSD port while there's no Linuxulator. At this time, I don't really have a problem with 2 manpages. When it's time to port the Linuxulator to ia-64, things may be different, though... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
