Currently, there are no POSIX.1-2024 manual pages. The main problem is that the POSIX sources are not public. Michael, the previous maintainer, had agreed (AFAIK) with POSIX to receive privately a copy of POSIX (I don't know in which format; IIRC, it was HTML?), and then run them through a script to produce the published POSIX manual pages. I find the burden of that to be too excessive. If POSIX makes their roff sources public (preferably, in a git repository) (not necessarily under a free software license, but publicly readable), I'd be happy to work with those. That depends on the Copyright holders (IEEE and the Open Group). > Kind regards, > Ole Wiedemann Have a lovely day!
