Bug 478345

mr help doesn't work - it tries to call man -l which doesn't exist in the current fedora man-command.

It's probably easiest to just patch out the output of "use mr help for man page"

I patched the '-l' parameter out. This way the users still use 'mr help'

I apologize for coming late in the game, but the name of the package and of the files that it installs (binary, man) violates http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Packaging_Tricks#Use_of_common_namespace

Are you aware of any other tool being named "mr" or is your remark just on the two character name?

mr is a pretty well established tool that fits well in the unix philosophy and thus I'd say that ignoring that 'packaging trick' is acceptable in this case - unless there are conflicts of course.

No, for the moment I am not aware of any other tool with the same name, that is if we ignore http://www.dbmsmag.com/9706d07.html :)
The remark was just on the two character name and the scarcity of this resource.
