[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#11996) incomplete manpage

["Ben Bettin" <bwbettin@xxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11996 >

Here's a patch that fixes some of the issues in the two manpages
(civserver.6 and civclient.6).

Jason had given me a list of the environment variables, but some of
the descriptions are a bit brief as I don't know much about the inner
workings of the code.  If someone would like to send me improved
descriptions I'd be more than happy to add them to the manpages and
submit patches.

This patch was created using the latest cvs snapshot
(freeciv-cvs-Jan-28.tar.bz2).
