Bug#794321: codespell manpage: inconsistent formatting of options
Hi Peter! * Peter Spiess-Knafl , 2015-08-14, 20:54: This inconsistency comes from using the combination of python's argparse and help2man. The alternative would be to generate it once and fix the errors, but than additionally options might be out of sync with the program. Yes, which is why it'd be best if it was upstream who keeps the manpage up to date. :) Using sed to fix the errors would make the manpage creation kind of complicated. What do you think? IMO, help2man is too brittle to be used at build time. It might be good enough to create an initial manpage quickly, but that's it. -- Jakub Wilk
