Missing man pages

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron sun com>]

Gnome Developers:

Sun requires that all binaries in /bin and /libexec have man pages,
so I am in the process of working towards that end. 

I have gone through all the Gnome binaries and catalogued which 
binaries do not have man pages.  Some maintainers may have just
overlooked these missing man pages, so this email might hopefully
point them towards filling in the blanks.  I expect that Sun will
also help with this effort of filling in the blanks, but it will
probably be a week or so before we get to the point where we are
helping.  I suspect that Sun might have to rewrite or massage
the man pages to get them into a Sun look & feel, so I need to
get a handle on that before we are ready to start helping to
contribute generating man pages.
 
Below the packages are broken down between user and developer
programs.  This is because man pages for user programs is a higher
priority for Sun.  I would appreciate any comments if anybody feels
that I've placed a "user" program under "developer" or vice versa.
I suspect that these comments wouldn't be of general interest, so
please send any such comments to me only.

Thanks!

Brian
