#48380: Missing manpage --------------------------+------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: snc@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: pngcrush | --------------------------+------------------- Comment (by macports@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
Where did this manpage come from? It's not really our mission to distribute additional files not created by the developer of the software. There are exceptions, but in this case, if the pngcrush distribution does not come with a manpage, and you have written one, then you should provide it not to us but to the developers of pngcrush, so that they can include it in the distribution. This way, everyone benefits, not just those installing pngcrush via MacPorts.
It’s credited as {{{ This manual page was written by David Whedon dwhedon@gordian.com for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). }}} and included in Ubuntu at least as far back as Gutsy in 2007. After eight years I have to assume the developer is aware of its existence; SourceForge has been down all day so I haven’t been able to investigate his rationale for not including documentation. I’ll keep checking and update this ticket whenever SF comes back up. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48380#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
