Hiyas,
according to the man-db[0] homepage all/most other major distributions
use a more actively developed manpage suite called man-db, while we only
ship this:
http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/
In a package of mine, "man -l" is used to create a plaintext version of
the manpage, which seems to only work with man-db. Could this be a
Feature for F14 to use man-db instead of man or are there major reasons
not to do this?
Btw. I cc'ed man-owner@fpo.
Regards
Till

If you need that feature urgently, you can run
$ man ./whatever.1 | col -b > whatever.1.txt

Couldn't you still do something similar with man-db to get the desired
effect?

Hello,
sorry for the late response, I'm the man package maintainer and I agree
with the idea to switch from man to man-db. I just sent a mail to fedora
list about it.
Thanks.
Ivana
