We do not include -the entire man page, but just some key elements to make it possible to -understand what a program does. To get information on all details of a program, -please refer to its man page or info page. - -Certain packages are documented in more depth -than others, because we just happen to know more about certain -packages than about others. If you think anything should be added to the -following descriptions, please don't hesitate to email the mailing -lists. We intend that the list should contain an in-depth description -of every package installed, but we can't do it without help. - -Please note that currently only what a package does is described and not -why it needs to be installed. This may be added later. - -Also listed are all of the installation dependencies for all the -packages that are installed in this book. The listings will include -which programs from which packages are needed to successfully compile -the package to be installed. - -These are not running dependencies, meaning they don't tell you -what programs are needed to use that package's programs, just the ones -needed to compile it. - -The dependency list can be, from time to time, outdated in regards -to the currently used package version. Checking dependencies takes quite a -bit of work, so they may lag behind a bit on the package update. But -often with minor package updates, the installation dependencies hardly -change, so they'll be current in most cases. When we upgrade to a major -new release, we'll make sure the dependencies are checked too. - - - -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
