   Description     : universal offline documentation search engine

Wikiman is a universal offline documentation search engine. It can
browse system manual pages, tldr-pages, the ArchWiki, Gentoo Wiki,
FreeBSD documentation, and many other sources curated by DevDocs.

It provides an easy interface for browsing documentation without the
need to be exact and connected to the internet. This is achieved by
utilizing full-text search for wikis, partial name and description
matching for man pages, and fuzzy filtering for search results.

According to GitHub release download count
<https://tooomm.github.io/github-release-stats/?username=filiparag&repository=wikiman>,
there are many users downloading .deb package
<https://github.com/filiparag/wikiman/releases/download/2.14.1/wikiman-2.14.1-1_any.deb>
manualy and therefore it would help them if this package was added to
the official repository.
