Hi,
I have a package, adduser, that is Debian native and therefore the
manpages are installed directly from the doc directory:
[212/5303]mh@fan:~/packages/adduser/adduser (master *% u+5) $ cat debian/manpages
doc/adduser.8
doc/addgroup.8
doc/adduser.*.8
[213/5304]mh@fan:~/packages/adduser/adduser (master *% u+5) $
addgroup.8 contains a .so link:
.so man8/adduser.8
This ends up in the package verbatim as an so link instead of being
converted to a symlink as the docs suggest.
In addition, I would love to have the respective symlinks to be also
established for the respective translated manual pages, preferably
without having to list every language in a debhelper config file (prone
to be forgotten for new translation) and also without having to have a
dedicated .so link file for every translation (will also be forgotten
for new translations).
Could that be possible in a future version, so cut down on length of my
debian/links file and to reduce the possibility of forgotten symlinks?
Greetings
Marc
