Description R P Herrold 2002-10-06 05:55:03 UTC
The quoted email was a pleasant shock; finding popt.ps was another

1. Add a   man 8 rpmmisc  to be housed in rpm-devel subpackage, gathering,
unifying and expanding on the 'MISCELLANEOUS' section information in 

popt (presently no MISC entries), rpm (several MISC entries), rpmbuild (SHOWRC),
rpm2cpio (presently no MISC entries), and gendiff (presently no entries)

2. Move the "SHOWRC" section of man 8 rpm and rpmbuild  to the new   man 8 rpmmisc

3. Add popt.ps to be housed in rpm-devel
