Package: erlang-mode
Version: 1:13.b.2.1-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
erlang-mode builds the manpage menus by searching for manpages in the directory
specified
using the erlang-root-dir variable setted to "/usr/lib/erlang" in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50erlang-mode.el, and the erlang-man-dirs variable
setted on
erlang-mode.el. Then uses a regex defined in erlang-mode.el as:
(defun erlang-man-get-files (dir)
"Return files in directory DIR."
(directory-files dir t ".*\\.\\([124-9]\\|3erl\\)?\\(\\.gz\\)?\\'"))
The erlang-manpages package installs the manpages on /usr/share/man/* where non
erlang
related manpages also reside, and creates a /usr/lib/erlang/man ->
/usr/share/man symlink.
So, by traversing that symlink erlang-mode erroneously founds all manpages in
the system as
erlang ones.
Two notes about the regex: 1- there are other similar regexes used in
erlang-mode.el 2- the "3erl" string must be optional because there are manpages
like
/usr/share/man/man6/kernel.6.gz that not contain it.
I think the proper solution is to modify erlang-manpages to create an
/usr/lib/erlang/man directory instead of a symlink, and then man{3,4,6}
directories
containing one symlink for each manpage to his corresponding file in
/usr/share/man
(or viceversa).
Btw, this seems to be the continuation of the #436044 bug :) Creating the
/usr/lib/erlang/man
was a bad solution, erlang manpages become undifferentiated, but the empty
/usr/lib/erlang/man
was also bad.
