This would configure and start your web server, and run web browser pointing to gitweb. ... snip ... and the corresponding man page source file clearly belongs to the "git" package: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man1/gitweb.1.gz git-2.20.1-1.fc29.x86_64 $ but there is no "git instaweb" command: $ git instaweb git: 'instaweb' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. $ it took only a few seconds to determine that fedora bundles that functionality in two separate packages which are not dependencies of "git": "gitweb" and "git-instaweb" (output abbreviated): $ sudo dnf install git-instaweb ... Installing: git-instaweb Installing dependencies: gitweb perl-CGI and now "git-instaweb" works fine. the question is, is it not inconsistent for fedora's basic "git" package to include the man page for gitweb, without including the corresponding functionality? is this something i should submit a fedora bugzilla report for? or am i misunderstanding something? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
