[fix] gnupg does not have unix man page for gpg
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

gpg doesn't have usual "man page", so I just did it.
Source for the gpg man page completely based on:
http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manpage.en.html
The whole text and structure isn't changed, even outdated information such as
advise to use: "host -l pgp.net | grep wwwkeys"

gpg man page attached

Huh? "man gpg" "man gpgsm" "man gpg-agent" ... all work perfectly for me.
For ages.

FreeBSD 8.1 release :

man gpg

No manual entry for gpg

"man gpgsm"
and
"man gpg-agent"

are present on FreeBSD

That must be a problem of the FreeBSD ports. GnupG comes with a man page. On
my system I can do

man gpg

for th1 1.4 GnuPG and

man gpg2

for the 2.x gpg. Please report to freebsd.
