Hello,

the cvs init command is not documented.

Obviously, this makes cvs useless for managing one's own projects.

thanks

Michal Suchanek dixit:

No need to report it in _both_ Debian and Launchpad, one is enough.
Anyway, as stated in LP already, it _is_ documented both in the on‐
line help (“cvs -H init”) and the texinfo documentation (“info cvs”
or “pinfo cvs”).

The manpage is currently generated from the texinfo page (or rather
parts thereof); improvements welcome, please discuss these with up‐
stream. I’m merging this with the other cvs manpage generation bug,
as I’m not going to write a replacement manpage by myself.

It is not documented in texinfo either.

Please don't close bugs until they are fixed.

Thanks

It is.
https://www.mirbsd.org/htman/i386/manINFO/cvs.html#toc_Invoking-CVS
clearly points to
https://www.mirbsd.org/htman/i386/manINFO/cvs.html#Creating-a-repository
(same in the texinfo, but it’s easier to link to the HTML representation).

I didn’t close these bugs, either debbugs or LP.
They are, however, marked as WONTFIX for now. If
you get upstream to fix it, or send in a good
suggestion, I may change the opinion. I simply do
not have the resources to write a proper manpage
for the entire tool, especially as a perfectly
good texinfo documentation exists and is part of
the cvs binary package and thus always installed,
even in both info and PDF format.
