Control: tags -1 - moreinfo

Hello Phil,

W: udcli: groff-message troff:<standard input>:100: warning: cannot select font
'C' [usr/share/man/man1/udcli.1.gz:3]
The lintian warning "cannot select font 'c'", is because of an issue with 
'pandoc':
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/9020

I use pandoc to generate the man page for the CLI tool 'hyprpaper', built from 
this
package. As far as I understand it, this warning is benign and should fix itself
when we have a newer version of pandoc in Debian.

3. Licenses check: ISSUES
Added HPND-sell-variant to d/copyright.

Consider disabling dh verbose mode ...
Done.

I have implemented the above changes and pushed a new version to mentors.

Thanks & Regards,
Alan

Hi all,

Thanks for taking time to create this package and your contribution to Debian.

1. Build: OK

2. Lintian: WARNINGS

W: hyprpaper: groff-message troff:<standard input>:5: warning: cannot select
font 'CB' [usr/share/man/man1/hyprpaper.1.gz:1]
N:
N:   A manual page provoked warnings or errors from the man program. Here are
N:   some common ones:
N:
N:   "cannot adjust" or "can't break" are issues with paragraph filling. They
N:   are usually related to long lines. Justifying text on the left hand side
N:   can help with adjustments. Hyphenation can help with breaks.
N:
N:   For more information, please see "Manipulating Filling and Adjusting" and
N:   "Manipulating Hyphenation" in the Groff manual (see info groff).
N:
N:   "can't find numbered character" usually means that the input was in a
N:   national legacy encoding. The warning means that some characters were
N:   dropped. Please use escapes such as \[:a] as described on the groff_char
N:   manual page.
N:
N:   Other common warnings are formatting typos. String arguments to .IP
N:   require quotes. Usually, some text is lost or mangled. See the groff_man
N:   (or groff_mdoc if using mdoc) manual page for details on macros.
N:
N:   The check for manual pages uses the --warnings option to man to catch
N:   common problems, like a . or a ' at the beginning of a line as literal
N:   text. They are interpreted as Groff commands. Just reformat the paragraph
N:   so the characters are not at the beginning of a line. You can also add a
N:   zero-width space (\&) in front of them.
N:
N:   Aside from overrides, warnings can be disabled with the .warn directive.
N:   Please see "Debugging" in the Groff manual.
N:
N:   You can see the warnings yourself by running the command used by Lintian:
N:
N:       LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 MANROFFSEQ='' MANWIDTH=80 \
N:           man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l -Tutf8 -Z <file> >/dev/null
N:
N:   Please refer to the groff_man(7) manual page and the groff_mdoc(7) manual
N:   page for details.
N:
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
N:   Renamed from: manpage-has-errors-from-man

Consider disabling dh verbose mode for packages to be uploaded to Debian. This
can be done by adding a '#' to the start of line 2 or changing 'export
DH_VERBOSE = 1' to 'export DH_VERBOSE = 0'.

Please consider addressing the issues raised where applicable and remove the
'moreinfo' tag when doing next/fixed upload.
