Package: maint-guide Version: 1.2.14 Severity: normal I'm not sure if this is an actual bug with the documentation itself, but atleast I had some issues following it. Chapter 5.8 deal with man- pages and their files, which is generally a nice piece of documentation. Regardless of that I tried to complie my package several times without getting any fresh man -pages with it.
After some debugging and google -magick I found an actual solution, I had to 1) create file debian/manpages 2) move the newly created file from myapp/debian/myapp.1 to myapp/myapp.1 I'm more or less newbie with building Debian packages, so I don't know if my solution is somehow broken or if there's an place for improvement with the documentation. So, if my observations and solution are correct, I'd like to see fixed documentation, or if my solution is somehow faulty I'd be more than glad to hear the proper way as well. -- Take -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
