--- Begin Message ---Package: nohang Version: 0.3.0-3 Severity: minor Tags: upstream Hi. I find nohang's documentation woefully insufficient as is, in particular this pertains to the application's configuration; `man 8 nohang` has this unhelpful bit: Just read the description of the parameters and edit the values. Restart the daemon to apply the changes. While the shipped config file is indeed verbosely commented, the comments fail to actually explain most of the options, some are lacking any hint whatsoever as for what they do. Regarding a system-level tool as critical as this you'd really expect a man page nohang.conf. That would better be exhaustive. At least however either the main man page or default config file should explain the options. Having to read the source is not what we expect in Debian. Regards, Oliver

--- Begin Message ---the documentation is not just the manpage or the source code. as you see from man man, it is in section 8 if you have difficulty, navigating to /usr/share/doc/nohang, cd helps please also check out the homepage of the project it does explain things pretty well. besides all that, debian tries to come with sane defaults, upstream as well. my experience has shown, you can just install it and use it with the defaults. i'm closing this bug report. it's been forwarded upstream, but if you want anything different, faster. feel free to provide changes/improvements, either in BTS to this bug report, or preferably to upstream. best,
