Up-to-date kernel manual pages

by rusty-snake

There wasn’t any release of kernel manual pages for nearly one year. This can be annoying if you work with recent kernel features (like Landlock for example). In order to get more recent manual pages you can do this.

scurl-download --tlsv1.2 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/snapshot/man-pages-6.03.tar.gz
tar -xvzf man-pages-6.03.tar.gz
cd man-pages-6.03
sudo make install

If you don’t have scurl-download, you can use the command below:

curl --tlsv1.2 --proto =https --location --remote-name-all --remote-header-name

Update 2022-09-26: Use man-pages-6.0-rc1 and fix download command.
Update 2023-03-28: Use man-pages-6.03 and scurl-download.
