Move man pages to section 6 ("games")?

[apjanke]

Maybe the cowsay man pages should go in section 6 of the manual (man6) instead of section 1?

Cowsay is entertainment, and kind of a game. Debian's package of classic cowsay is putting its man pages in section 6. (And gzipping them.) It's putting the binaries in $prefix/games, too, for that matter. Ubuntu 24.04 is the same; no surprise, as a Debian derivative.

janke@book-test-as:~$ apt info cowsay 2>/dev/null | head -4
Package: cowsay
Version: 3.03+dfsg2-8
Priority: optional
Section: games
janke@book-test-as:~$ man -w cowsay
/usr/share/man/man6/cowsay.6.gz
janke@book-test-as:~$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man6/cow*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2210 May 11  2020 /usr/share/man/man6/cowsay.6.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   11 May 11  2020 /usr/share/man/man6/cowthink.6.gz -> cowsay.6.gz
janke@book-test-as:~$ 

Also, over on Debian bookworm, it complains about the presence of the cowsay.1.adoc file if it's on the manpath. Best to clean that up, I think.

janke@book-test-as:~/repos/cowsay$ uname -a
Linux book-test-as 6.1.0-17-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.1.69-1 (2023-12-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux

janke@book-test-as:~/repos/cowsay$ 

Fedora 39 has the cowsay man pages in section 1, but they're using my 3.8.1 package, so maybe just following my choice here. cowsay in bin/, not games/.

janke@fed39-test-as:~$ man -a -w cowsay
/usr/share/man/man1/cowsay.1.gz
janke@fed39-test-as:~$ man -a -w cowthink
/usr/share/man/man1/cowsay.1.gz
janke@fed39-test-as:~$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/cow*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3006 Aug  7 20:00 /usr/share/man/man1/cowsay.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   11 Aug  7 20:00 /usr/share/man/man1/cowthink.1.gz -> cowsay.1.gz
janke@fed39-test-as:~$ cowsay --version
/usr/bin/cowsay version 3.8.1 calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.13),
janke@fed39-test-as:~$ which cowsay
/usr/bin/cowsay

FreeBSD 14.1 has them in section 1, for classic cowsay 3.04.

Think I fixed that "ignoring bogus filename" warning in c1abdae.
