Subject: No man page for perli11ndoc
Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2018 01:34:33 +0000
To: bug-Glib-Object-Introspection [...] rt.cpan.org
From: oldtechaa <oldtechaa [...] gmail.com>
perli11ndoc has no man page. I filed a bug on the Debian package about a different topic [1] and a discussion ensued about Debian requiring a man page. It seems that in order to keep perli11ndoc in $PATH in Debian, it really should have a man page. I have no experience in writing man pages, although I do have experience writing docs, but I can write the man page if no one else would like to. Let me know. oldtechaa [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891334

You don't need to write a manpage, you can submit a patch against perli11ndoc that adds POD documentation, and the POD can be converted to nroff and installed as a manpage as part of the install process. This is how a majority of the Perl modules on CPAN/in core Perl have manpages, they're all converted from POD. Thanks, Brian

I'll try to get it in by the next release deadline. I assume the conversion to nroff is something a Debian Perl maintainer should be familiar with? Otherwise, I can look into it and submit a patch for them. Thanks, oldtechaa On Sat, Apr 21, 2018, 12:59 AM Brian Manning via RT < bug-Glib-Object-Introspection@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
