GDM needs man pages
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:22:33 UTC
Created attachment 146606 [details] bzip2 tarball of manpages for GDM: gdm-man.tar.bz2 GDM needs manpages for the binaries it ships to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. The attached bzip2 tarball provides the manpages I wrote for inclusion on Solaris for GDM. The tarball contains the manpages in three formats (SGML, NROFF, and plain text). The plain text version is for easier review. I'm not sure if it makes more sense to integrate the SGML or NROFF versions of the manpages, so I provided both. Note the gdm and gdm-stop manpages contain a few sentences about Solaris-specific features. Also these manpages include a Solaris-specific "ATTRIBUTES" section, which should probably be removed when these are added, though that is easy enough. Just delete the lines for those sections. I am happy to remove the ATTRIBUES and/or the Solaris-specific comments if desired, but I wanted people to review them first since I'd rather make any improvements to them before doing that.
Created attachment 146611 [details] all manpages cat'ed together as a single text file for easier review, if desired
Created attachment 256784 [details] [review] Add man pages
The patch modernizes this a bit, turning the gdm and gdm-screenshot man pages into valid xml, and adding a gdmflexiserver man page. The gdm-screenshot and gdmflexiserver man pages are fine, but the gdm one needs heavy updates before it can be committed.
