[Scratchbox-users] Man pages inside Scratchbox ?

[Jussi Hakala]

Additionally, not all the software inside Scratchbox and the devkits are 
built with the documentation. Some of them are, yes, but it's not 
guaranteed a particular piece of software has the man pages.

As Kalle pointed out, there's not that much to gain from having man 
pages inside Scratchbox. Only reason would be cross distribution 
development, ie. developing for debian under rpm based distributions in 
which case you might not have access to all the man pages for debian 
tools...
