Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-415
2004-11-10
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : man
Version     : 1.5o1
Release     : 4
Summary     : A set of documentation tools:  man, apropos and whatis.
Description :
The man package includes three tools for finding information and/or
documentation about your Linux system: man, apropos, and whatis. The
man system formats and displays on-line manual pages about commands or
functions on your system. Apropos searches the whatis database
(containing short descriptions of system commands) for a string.
Whatis searches its own database for a complete word.
 
The man package should be installed on your system because it is the
primary way to find documentation on a Linux system.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
man-1.5o1-4's big improvement over previous versions is that man pages are
now formatted to whatever width your terminal may be. There are many other
changes which most people shouldn't notice/see, but I'm especially 
interested
in any problems with respect to people running in non-UTF-8 non-English
locales.
