Subject: [9fans] formatting the manual from plan9 ports?
Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 22:03:25 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201205241903.q4OJ3Pcu002687@skeeve.com> (raw)

Is there a simple recipe to use p9p troff to format the manual pages
from the plan 9 dist?  I.e.:

	Install Plan 9 Ports
	wget plan9.iso from bell labs
	mount said iso /some/where
	9 rc
	cd /some/where/sys/man
	# magic stuff here

(Or tar off the dist to regular files where things are writable.)

Thanks!

Arnold
