Description Rodrigo Silva 2011-08-24 04:28:38 UTC 
None of the commands in programs/ have a man page. Should they be provided only by downstream? Currently, at least Debian Ubuntu lacks them

Googling for them, ive found this:
http://www.unix.com/man-page/All/1/gvfs-open/

Also avaliable for gvfs-copy, -info, etc Cant these be used, at least as a template?

Source code for them can be found at:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/sources/SUNWgnome-gvfs-manpages-0.1.tar.gz

Which is part of OpenSolaris Desktop project (formerly JDS consolidation),  http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+jds/

License is not clear, tough: archive has no AUTHORS or Licesce or copyright text. it may be GPL (like upstream), CDDL (like most of OpenSolaris, and explicitely all man pages in http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/downloads/manpages )

I think we would prefer to have the manpages in docbook as source format.
That in turn requires a docbook-based doc setup, which we don't have at all
in gvfs, but in glib. 

Moving the programs to glib altogether would be an option, and would make some sense since they are only using gio api anyway.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2012-06-30 04:38:43 UTC 
I've now added man pages for all commands.
