Man Pages about nbsdgames HOT 8 CLOSED

A manpage is also a "should" for inclusion in the debian repos, yet they are not distro-specific so would ideally exist in the main repo: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#manual-pages

Made some manpages from the in-game help.

The command line options are not included but I am planning to change them soon anyway.

I agree with you. Man pages are good idea.

In-game help was a simpler, more portable approach and accomplishes the same thing so I didn't bother much about manpages.

But yes, it is nice to have them. Commits are welcome.

It's a bit hard to write man pages for software you are not familiar with. I'm doing a FreeBSD port right now and just noticed that there is no documentation whatsoever included. At least a man page for the collection as a whole might be nice so people have a way to find out what each game roughly does.

Please store the man pages uncompressed in the git repository; they'll be compressed by the system during the install process and with uncompressed files, all the standard git tools work a lot better (can't take useful diffs of compressed files).

But apart from that, thanks a lot for the work! If you publish another version, I can integrate that into the package (which unfortunately hasn't been published yet; seems like the FreeBSD people are busy with the post release stuff).

The man pages are now included in the Arch Linux package.

Thanks to everyone.
