Dear Maintainer, Installing munin-node does not provide any man pages for applications or configuration files. Since '--help' does not document all available options for munin-node-configure i.e., there is no getting around installing munin-doc package for information. But that provides documentation for the entire Munin suite (master and node). Package munin-node should provide required documentation and man pages, preferably as part of the package. Albeit, splitting the documentation in munin-doc and munin-node-doc would also be acceptable.
hi Sandro, thanks for filing this bug, however I'm inclined to close it because... there's a munin-doc package which you can install for documentation. normally munin-node is installed on many nodes, sometimes hundreds, and usually one doesnt want munin-node documentation on a node. so I'm pondering to close this bug as wontfix.
That's another way of looking at it. Although, that holds for many other packages as well and they (e.g. openssh-client) come with man pages nonetheless. Maybe munin-node could be made to at least suggest munin-doc? That's you decision in the end.
