Hi guys, I'm new to this mailing list as I just came across a small
problem after installing the rsync package on one of our Solaris 10
machines.
I installed rsync package SMCrsync v3.0.7 SPARC and although command
man rsync worked, man -k rsync and whatis rsync did not despite the
fact that I had run a catman -w to rebuild the windex databases. After
reading the catman man page, I suspected it might be due to the
formatting of the line following .SH "NAME" in the man page file
/usr/local/share/man/man1/rsync.1. I changed it from…
rsync \(em a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
… to…
rsync \- a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
… and then ran catman –w again and it had the desired result, i.e. fixed.
The rsync bug-tracking page on rsync's website suggests discussing any
suspected bugs on this list so I thought I'd do that before going all
guns blazing and raising a bug report.
