Public bug reported:
Today I had to use dh_installman for the first time, so I looked at its
man page. The man page explains what it does, but the information about
how to use it is missing. The following information would have been
useful in my case (Fortunately, somebody in irc gave it to me; googling
was not very helpful) :
<Example of missing info>
You can use dh_installman in the following way:
- create a file called yourpackagename.manpages in the debian directory
- for each man page to install, add a line of the form "debian/manpagename"
(without quotes) to the yourpackagename.manpages file
- put each man page to install by dh_installman into the debian directory
<end of example of missing info>
The actual manpage talkes about debian/package.manpages (=
yourpackagename.manpages from my example), but it does not explain how
to add the man pages to it, nor in what directory to store the man
pages.
Finally, I wonder whether similar dh_* helpers lack the same
information.
