What would preclude one from forking the kernel source, maintaining the man-pages separately, and expecting it to reach a similar adoption as the mainline?
Common sense.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoInteresting - why would you have to fork the kernel source here? Why couldn’t you just fork the man pages only, demonstrate to the kernel maintainers the man pages project is essentially unmaintained, then ask the kernel maintainers to make your fork the source of truth? I would think if the man pages project is actually unmaintained this would not be a problem.
