Hi Denis, Hi everyone,
I'm really pleased to see you're back on track.
Hi and thanks for the support :)
If any of the collaborators want to help, this is the time I would be glad to. I see you need help to write the man right? Is this the number one task? Because I could also help with some more technical things if needed.
Just let me know.
Yeah, right now the man page for pacman-key is the work that needs to be done. The script is not very complex, but 1) English is not my mother language and 2) I don't have lots of time. My wife is doing an internship and my daughter is consuming almost all my free time. But if you want to start a draft, I can surely help to develop it.
If you want to discuss the script itself, you are also welcome. When the developers start to comment on the other patches, you can also help. Or you can start commenting on them right now. Don't be shy :)

Denis,
Silly question: what is the format for "source man pages" for pacman? Pacman man page has a comment saying it was generated by "DocBook XSL Stylesheets" but I can't find SGML (nor XML file). Are they plain text? AsciiDoc?

Here is a TXT version of the "usage" of pacman-key. Nothing more from now on but that is a starter. Anyone willing to check my English or add things is welcome. Footer.txt is the one from pacman/doc folder. I may dig a bit further into the script to elaborate the man. As I'm completely new to writing man pages, here is how I get HTML and man page from this: Generate HTML from TXT asciidoc pacman-key.8.txt Generate XML from TXT asciidoc -b docbook -d manpage pacman-key.8.txt Generate man from XML docbook2man pacman-key.8.xml Let me know if that looks useful. -- Guillaume
