Cool, thanks Wolfram! It occurred to me that inkview would need a manpage when I was working on the mandrake package last night, so it's great to see one already. :-)
We may want to create a subdir in the codebase for collecting the manpages, as the top level dir is accumulating a lot of files.
Having a man/ subdir seems reasonable to me.
Good deal - would you like to set it up?
While we are at it, the attached patch updates the keybindings-section in the man-page. While doing it I saw that the header of this man-page claims to be "Automatically generated by Pod::Man v1.34, Pod::Parser v1.13".
I wrote the original manpage in Perl's POD style and I think someone set up an automatic pod->man converter for it. That header gets automatically inserted, but I agree it needs to be stripped out. Perhaps there's a way to run sed against it?
This isn't done during the compilation process from docbook or something else, is it? If it is not, I think we should remove the header. I also can't see the necessity of having a inkscape.1.in which is the same as inkscape.1. Can't we rename the file and skip the copy process in autogen.sh?
Sounds good to me, although it makes me wonder if there's a processing step being skipped here?
