Hi Charlie, > I made the changes to the rules file that you suggested. IMHO worked > much better. > sure ;-) > Both manpages have been created. I had a real problem with the > manpages. I would get lintian errors on the .deb but not on the source. > I tried several name combination which did not work. During the test > install I manually verified that the manpages where installed > to /usr/share/man/man1 which they where, so I included a lintian > override file. > * quickly looking, this must be due to the naming: the manpages name have to match the binaries name. so the fix here is to rename: - python-coherence.1 to coherence.1 - python-coherence-applet.1 to applet-coherence.1 (beware of the words ordering). * while you're working on that, you should also modify the 3rd .TH field of the manpage to put the last manpage modification date (ie "Thu Mar 19 2009"). It seems to be the standard here (thought I'm not a groff / man guru!) and is more useful than sticking with a software release that is always changing without mandatory impact on the manpage... * lastly, you have a typo in the changelog: + * Added debain/python-coherence.lintian-overrides ^^ or are you trying to fork a new Debian based distro ;-p having the above, we should be fine. Otherwise, I'll take on me to make the remaining changes and ping you for the ubuntu sync on the Debian upload is done. alright? cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/<http://people.debian.org/%7Eaquette/> Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
