As their `man2html`, they use http://users.actrix.gen.nz/michael/vhman2html.html which has been merged into http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/, which is the source for our `man` package. Our `man2html` comes from http://dcssrv1.oit.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html. I suggest we obsolete the `man2html` port in favor of our current `man` port. Opinions? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38254#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I suggest we obsolete the `man2html` port in favor of our current `man` port. Opinions?
The main advantage I can see to having a separate `man2html` port is that it doesn't drag in the long chain of dependencies that the `man` port does. Other than that I don't really care. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38254#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
