Bug#131137: [ft-devel] manual pages for freetype2-demos

While there is already one for that in Debian, it is written in SGML and requires the corresponding toolchain to convert it into an actual man page. If you adopt my new one, the package may be able to drop the build-depends on docbook-to-man. Nis .TH FREETYPE-CONFIG 1 January 2014 FreeType 2.5.2 . . .SH NAME . freetype-config \- Return compilation and linking information about FreeType . . .SH SYNOPSIS . .B freetype-config .RI [ options ] . . .SH DESCRIPTION . .B freetype-config returns information needed for compiling and linking programs with the FreeType library, such as linker flags and compilation parameters. . Alternatively, it can be used to query information about the FreeType library version installed on the system, such as the installation (directory path) prefix or the FreeType version number. . .PP This program is part of the FreeType package. . . .SH OPTIONS . There are two types of options: output/display selection options, and path override options. . . .SS Output selection options . Only one of the output selection options should be given at each program invocation. . .TP .B \-\-prefix Return the prefix value of the installed FreeType library (the default prefix will be `/usr' in most cases for distribution-installed packages). . .TP .B \-\-exec-prefix Return the executable prefix value of the installed FreeType library (will often be the same as the prefix value). . .TP .B \-\-ftversion Return the FreeType version number. . .TP .B \-\-version Return the `libtool version' of the FreeType library. . .TP .B \-\-libtool Return the library name for linking with libtool. . .TP .B \-\-libs Return compiler flags for linking with the installed FreeType library. . .TP .B \-\-cflags Return compiler flags for compiling against the installed FreeType library. . . .SS Path override options . These affect any selected output option, except the libtool version returned by `--version'. . .TP .BI \-\-prefix= PREFIX Override `--prefix' value with .IR PREFIX . . .TP .BI \-\-exec-prefix= EPREFIX Override `--exec-prefix' value with .IR EPREFIX . . . .\ eof

Please find attached some minimal draft man pages, mainly based upon the usage output of the various tools. Any kind of feedback/review is appreciated since I hardly know anything about freetype, and whether you are interested in adding man pages upstream at all. I've now committed revised and updated versions of the man pages. Please check. Werner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Any kind of feedback/review is appreciated since I hardly know anything about freetype, and whether you are interested in adding man pages upstream at all. Thanks for the man pages, I'll check and eventually add them to the ft2demos bundle. I'm not too happy that distributions like Debian publish all of the FreeType demo programs (for example, `ftgamma' has essentially no real use); maybe this can be improved somehow.

Why? As a Debian user, I'm often glad that the FT demo progs are there, because they can be useful. Maybe ftgamma isn't so useful, but if it's not actively _harmful_, why go to the bother of making an exception? Users can just ... not run it. Thanks, -Miles -- Custard, n.
