Hi, I'm looking for an app to keep track and give access to the docs
that get installed with the many apps on my 64Studio (Debian based) distro.
Stuff usually in /usr/share/doc ... etc.

I used to have something many years ago on Mepis, but like my memory,
it's long gone.

Any recommendations?

doc-central; then you can consult your docs from your browser by going to http://localhost/dc

and it is...

Do Not Worry About it...

People as coders and programmers and hackers since 80's never thought about users, this is fact.. I bet you are bored to open a folder in /usr/share/docs/package and see that there is only packages reference and nothing more usefull...

What can you do??

1- Search in for *.doc packages wich contains docs from packagers
2- man pages always gives basics, i.e. type "man man"(in terminal) this is a guide for using man pages.

An app as you ask for, would be oxygen, debian-help or many others but all off them won't fullfill your needs, maybe you'll be in all of them..


cheers

Suggest : Install 'pdbv' ( PackageDataBaseView )

Will make a nice 'html' index of all your files in

/home/<username>/MyIndex/ , with the command 'pdbv -dir MyIndex'

( It's a very small perl application.)
