I presume there's some documentation I'm unaware of, please point to it.
I'd found /etc/manpath.config and modified it to be aware of my own
and fink's manpages in previous releases of MacOSX. Then I upgraded
to Tiger and found man wasn't working for me, because manpath.config
has gone away.
Eventually I discovered /usr/share/misc/man.conf, so I presume I can
get back to where I was.
Is there somewhere some description of
a) changes in configuration files from one release to the next?
b) differences in configuration file usage from what I'd find in
antique unix documentation (or experience) and/or linux
documentation? For instance, I'm familiar with ~/public_html but
here it's ~/Sites
Basically, I'd like to be pro-active rather than reactive in these
things -- I hate tripping over something and then having to go
looking for the cause, often without any real clue. "No manual
entry" in my ManOpen window, for instance, is the first clue about
manpath going away ...
In order to RTFM, you gotta find TFM.
