6 I looked at the output of "equery files --filter=man openssl" and
7 noticed that while the openssl package on my system contained *some*
8 manpages, it certainly didn't contain a manpage for openssl(1). Since I
9 didn't have any doc-like USE flags specified for the openssl package, I
10 took a look at the contents of the openssl tarball.
11
12 It looks like some of documentation is in perl's plain-old-documentation
13 format under doc/apps/ . If you extract the tarball, you can view what
14 looks like an openssl(1) manpage with
15
16 perldoc /path/to/tarball/doc/apps/openssl.pod
17
18 This documentation certainly seems like it ought to installed along with
19 the openssl manpages. Does anyone know if it's been excluded
20 purposefully? (If not, Jorge, it might be a good idea to submit a bug
21 about it.)
