Details

Description:

The ArchLinux implementation of glibc excludes the installation of man pages coming with it. You can see the missing pages in the glibc-docs package debian provides:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/glibc-doc/filelist

We currently have the posix man pages on pthreads, but they miss out on some cases, compared to the linux implementation.


Steps to reproduce:
e.g. man pthread_cond_init
apropos pthread

Suggestion/Dream:
Include the glibc man pages into the man-pages package. If this is not doable because of causing to much effort, create a package like glibc-doc, that provides these pages. Thanks for any help
