Hello Everyone:
I've just released Sman VERSION 1.00! This is a bug and security fix over the
previous version.
Sman is a replacement for 'man -k' and 'apropos' based on Swish-e
and Perl. Sman indexes the complete text of your system's man pages
and runs on all tested UNIX-like OS's and environments, including
OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, cygwin, and others. It's called 'sman'
because it provides two programs, sman and sman-update, to search on
and create indexes of man pages.
Sman can be installed through CPAN by typing:
% sudo cpan Sman
Sman 1.00 is now on CPAN at
http://search.cpan.org/~joshr/Sman-1.00/
as well as on my website at
http://joshr.com/src/sman
it should also soon be on freshmeat at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/sman/
Changes since version 0.99:
1.00 Thu May 04 2006
Removed spurious error message when using sman's -v option
without a query
Changed source & -V version string to show Swish-e capitalized as here
Test current Swish-e version more carefully in Sman::Util
More error output in sman's undocumented --Debug mode
Cleanup up how we check for $SWISH::API::VERSION
Touchups to formatting of Changes file
Updated various dates to 2006
Tiny POD touchups
As always, please let me know if you have any comments
or discover any bugs. Links for Sman are above!
Thanks,
