Replying to [comment:1 mmadia]:

include its man pages.
I wonder why, but it could be because its configure determined that
there's no `man` installed anyway.
I don't know, if this was a general opinion or not, but at least some
ported software (e.g. gcc/binutils) tended to be built with HTML instead
of man/info documentation. Which is why `man` isn't included.
Unfortunately most packages at HaikuPorts are built the "standard" way,
meaning that those come only with man/info documentation for which Haiku
doesn't has a viewer by default.
So either HTML documentation is built for all ports and everything is
configured to work seamlessly also in the console or `man` needs to be
provided. Given our limited resources I guess the latter is the most
reasonable approach ATM.
