All, I wanted to announce my intention to remove the catman utility. For those that are unaware, this utility (disabled by default) is generally run out of a periodic job and causes the system to cache pre-formatted man pages into the /usr/share/man/cat* directories. With modern hardware, it doesn't seem to be necessary to have pre-formatted man pages as rendering them is short enough to not be noticeable. Please note, this will not disable the ability to render cat pages or in any other way use existing cat pages, it just removes the utility that builds the cat pages. As such, any ports that install cat pages will continue to work. Best, GordonReceived on Tue Sep 12 2017 - 16:42:04 UTC
