Hi @ghisvail,
Thank you for the pointer. I'll have a look into this, but I have to admit that it's not high on my list. As I don't have a Linux background, I almost never thought of manpages. It will probably take me a bit of time to know my ways around them.
Traditionally, all Unix programs are documented with manual pages and Linux distribution often recommends providing corresponding manpages for each installed command-line utility.
It would be nice to improve the
prov
package so it generates the respective manpage for each script. For instance, this could be achieved by integration of a pair of custom build and install setuptools commands responsible for callinghelp2man
on the scripts.Cheers,
