man-db development

To help with man-db development, you'll probably want to start by checking out the latest code from revision control:

git clone https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db

Then run ./autogen.sh before starting. You'll need Autoconf, Automake, and Gettext; it is usually best to install your distribution's packages of these if available. You may also want to have a copy of Gnulib handy.

You should read the docs/HACKING.md file.

You can also just browse the source code using a web browser.

There is a mailing list for developers, although it is as yet rather quiet.
