I want to update the man page. Which file to edit? Inkscape.pod seems much more editable, but inkscape.1.in is more recent in the CVS, as pjrm changed it directly:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/inkscape.1.in?rev=1....
So, which one is the real source?
According to cvs log (haven't yet confirmed with diffs), inkscape.1 hasn't been updated from inkscape.pod since 2003-12-06, despite a number of changes having been made to each of them since then (by various people).
pod2man at least to the one in perl 5.8.4 produces bad troff, using hyphens instead of ASCII minus signs for flags.
I believe there are other things that convert to troff if we don't like editing troff. I haven't used any, so can't comment on how good they are.
pjrm.
