It would be a kindness if the maintainer built the docs and provided a gawk-doc package like other distros with the next gawk release. It would be nice if it included the examples, manuals, and cards in man, info, html, ps, and pdf formats, unlike most distros. Can never have too many doc formats, depending on what you're doing, what you're looking for, and what you have available. Regular man and info are good for grepping, html single page is good for phones and ereaders, multi page and PDF are better on tablets and desktops. -- Take care.
