Hello Everyone:
I've just released Sman version 0.97!
Sman is a 'man -k' and 'apropos' replacement based on Swish-e and
Perl. Sman indexes the complete text of your system's man pages and
run on all tested UNIX-like OS's, including OS X, Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, and others.
Sman is now on CPAN at
http://search.cpan.org/~joshr/Sman/
and on freshmeat at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/sman/
as well as on my website at
http://joshr.com/src/sman
Sman can also be installed through CPAN by typing:
% sudo cpan Sman
Changes since version 0.95:
0.97 Mon Aug 29 2005
Check that a sufficient SWISH::API version is installed,
handle absence better
Fixed Sman::IndexVersion, it now uses Sman::Config
Handle errors in sman better
Added --progress and --max options to sman-update
Documentation updates
0.96 Fri Aug 26 2005
Choose number of results to show based on rows returned from Term::Size
(to override use sman's --max=N command line option)
Put quotes around verbatim error string from swish-e if we show one
Avoid warnings from zcat during sman-update autoconfiguration
on OSX 10.4
Use 'man -c' (and ENV_MANWIDTH) to actually wrap manpages to
256 char lines
Fix NAME section of sman-update perldocs (to fix problem of
sman-update not appearing at http://search.cpan.org/~joshr/Sman/ )
Document running as low-priv user in sman-update
Update TODO and sman.conf documentation
Show index update time in sman and sman-update --VERSION output
Added /var/lib/sman/sman.index.version file and usage
Use swish-e's rank scheme 1 by default if index allows
Please let me know if you have any comments or discover any bugs!
Again, links for Sman are above!
Thanks,
joshr
