The following bug has been CLOSED ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000072 ====================================================================== Reported By: paul Assigned To: aaron ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Bug ID: 72 Category: installation scripts Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: closed ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 23-Aug-04 14:16 CEST Last Modified: 03-Sep-04 13:39 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: man pages in wrong section Description: Man pages are currently all in section 1, whereas they all belong in section 8 with the possible exception of dbmail-smtp ======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 23-Aug-04 14:35 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Makes sense: section 1 is for user commands section 8 is for admin commands. I don't know about dbmail-smtp though.. It makes sense to put it in section 1, but it will probably never be run by users. So section 8 will perhaps be more appropriate.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paul - 23-Aug-04 15:10 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Given the fact that dbmail-smtp may very well be run from .procmailrc or command-line (cat oldmailbox|formail -ds /usr/sbin/dbmail-smtp -u mydbmailuser), I'd say that users may indeed run dbmail-smtp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 23-Aug-04 16:03 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Good point. We might as well move the man pages to the appropriate section then. All pages in section 8, except for dbmail-smtp Things to do: * change manpage source. (change 1 after title to 8) * change manpage extension to .8 * change man/Makefile.am to new filenames * automake && autoreconf anything else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aaron - 23-Aug-04 18:07 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been opposed to moving the man pages because things like MySQL are all man.1, with the logic being that if the system is nothing but a smoking pile of disks, mysql isn't going to be the sort of admin tool that will recover it. But if there's a concensus to move to man.8, I'm not going to worry too much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- danweber - 24-Aug-04 18:49 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been saying this for ages. *sigh* I was the one who told you Paul ;) Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paul - 24-Aug-04 19:18 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, Dan. You were right. But instead of fixing it for the debian packages only I thought it would be easier to file a bug upstream. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 25-Aug-04 15:30 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul, since you have CVS write access, can you do this? Not that I'm not willing to.. I've managed to screw up the autotools setup on my Linux box (on the Mac is was already dysfunctional) and cannot use it anymore... after running automake, configure doesn't produce a Makefile that can be used by make... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paul - 25-Aug-04 17:08 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tag: branch_2_0 I've committed all the required changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aaron - 29-Aug-04 11:12 CEST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul committed the changes, so this is closed now.
