I'm not really writing them manually. In fact I'm using help2man and
did some smaller changes on the output by hand.

I do see some advantages of using for example ronn but if it would be
OK for you I would like to stick with the current state until bigger
changes to the manpages are necessary.


In the last weeks I did make some progress on the packaging stuff and
it would be much appreciated if somebody of you could take a look at
the current state if there is something missing before the package
could be sponsored.

The git repo is there:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-graphite/packages/carbonate.git/

And I also uploaded the package to mentors.d.n
https://mentors.debian.net/package/carbonate


Cheers,
Andreas
