I thought I should share this with the list. Factory rpmlint check now wants to see a man page for everything under /usr/bin,
That check is crazy ;) it even wants man pages for rc$yourservice symlinks, I would just ignore it.
Well, if I recall correctly, Debian requires a man page for all executables.
/etc/init.d scripts might be different...
I think the warning for non-symlinked exectuables is very sensible.
The issue here is how can packagers add missing man pages without lots of extra work and are there simple tools to create them with correct syntax. The only gui tool I know of is Manedit, but its GTK1 and not maintained.
Peter It was the debian blender maintainer that created blender.1 man page. Help2man creates a reasonable man page from the help output of an executable or it's info page if present and it has options for merging text from files. The example I gave for creating a man page for blenderplayer in the spec file needs a bit of sed ing to remove the unwanted -h "" because the executable refused to give a help output without looking for a .blend file first but if help2man is used with a normal --help output the man page is fine. I've sr 52400 to update help2man to version 1.38.2 which has a couple of new features and works even better than the existing version.
