https://manpages.debian.org/ is a service providing online manpages in HTML format for the public.

Current status

Debian manpages archive

New implementation

The current codebase is being rewritten from scratch into a package called Debmans, see the README for more information and the DESIGN file for a discussion on the implementation.

At this point, the code can extract all files from a mirror efficiently and convert them to HTML. It has not been tested on a full mirror yet, because TheAnarcat is waiting for manpages group access and dependencies install (setuptools from backports and/or python-click, python-apt and python-debian). See the TODO file for more information about the current status of the project and limitations.

Hardware

The old service used to run on glinka.debian.org. Teams/DSA requested the service should be moved to manziarly.debian.org.
