Hi,
I saw this in Debian package bug :
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252161)
----
hello
you should run this on your packages:
$ lintian -Ivi wormux_0.4.0-1_i386.deb
N: Setting up lab in /tmp/lintian-lab.3073 ...
N: Processing 1 packages...
N: ----
N: Processing binary package wormux (version 0.4.0-1) ...
E: wormux: binary-without-manpage wormux
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin, or /usr/games, must
N: have a manual page.
N:
N: Note, that though the `man' program has the capability to check for
N: several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs
N: must have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate
N: manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as
N: xman or tkman don't support this.
N:
N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.1 for details.
N:
N: Removing /tmp/lintian-lab.3073 ...
before this software can be uploaded to debian (by finding a sponsor)
you should write a little manual page for it, you can use the manualpage.ex in
debian and call it wormux.6 then create a file debian/manpages
with debian/wormux.6 in it. then uncomment the following in debian/rules
dh_installman

fEnIo, you said that you already wrote a manpage. Can you send it here by email
?
I think that we have to translate README.txt (and update it !!!) in english,
and write
manpage from this FILE. An idea : write README.txt in XML, and write XSLT
"scripts" to generate
HTML, manpage and .txt file ;-) (should you use Sablotron or another XSLT
engine ?)
Bye, Haypo
