Package: yiff-server Version: 2.14.2-7 Severity: minor There are several errors in the yiff manpage:
1) Behaviour: The location of the config_file should be specified as the first argument. The default value is /usr/etc/yiffrc. This is not true for Debian, the default value is /etc/yiff/yiffrc: -#define DEF_RCFILE_NAME "/usr/etc/yiffrc" +#define DEF_RCFILE_NAME "/etc/yiff/yiffrc" 2) Options: --mixer_rc <file> Specifies alternate Y mixer settings file. The default is located in the user's home directory as .YMixerSettings. Not true either in the Debian package: * * This file is stored in the user's home directory. */ -#define DEF_RCMIXERFILE_NAME ".YMixerSettings" +#define DEF_RCMIXERFILE_NAME "/var/state/yiff/mixer" 3) Examples section: It is more common to start the YIFF sound server by invoking the startup script (make sure it is written properly), type: # /usr/sbin/starty This script is not present in Debian at all. It might need to refer to the init.d script instead 4) SEE ALSO section: yhost(1) ymixer(1) yplay(1) yrecinfo(1) yshutdown(1) yset(1) yiffconfig(1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This application is not available in the Debian package. Similarly, the HOWTO and tutorial provided by the package (in the sources under debian/docs/) contains these mistakes and needs to be ammended too.
