 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > Where did this manpage come from? It's not really our mission to
 distribute additional files not created by the developer of the software.
 There are exceptions, but in this case, if the pngcrush distribution does
 not come with a manpage, and you have written one, then you should provide
 it not to us but to the developers of pngcrush, so that they can include
 it in the distribution. This way, everyone benefits, not just those
 installing pngcrush via MacPorts.

 It’s credited as
 {{{

         the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
 }}}

 and included in Ubuntu at least as far back as Gutsy in 2007. After eight
 years I have to assume the developer is aware of its existence;
 SourceForge has been down all day so I haven’t been able to investigate
 his rationale for not including documentation. I’ll keep checking and
 update this ticket whenever SF comes back up.
