Documentation for the Tar package

Description

Because tar does not include a man page, and many people don't like using info, you can create very good HTML docs for tar. It might be a good thing to include it as an optional command in the Tar instructions: 

make -C doc install-html docdir=/usr/share/doc/tar-1.23

I haven't tried it, but I wonder if info2man would work. Of course that is not in LFS.

comment:2 by bdubbs@…, 13 years ago

The tar mailing list mentioned something about using help2man to add a man page to the next release. I think that release will be soon due to bugs in 1.24.

The man page didn't make it into the 1.25 release. We may as well add the HTML docs anyway.
