Package: reprepro Version: 5.3.1-4 Severity: minor X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello,
While looking for a way to include .buildinfo and .changes, I learned
about the tracking feature of reprepro. Things are working fine now, but
the ride was a bit bumpy.
So I'd like you to improve the manpage (reprepro.1) ...
Re-format the section on that topic for better readabilitly. I'm not at
all profund in .roff (and would rather switch do asciidoc, drop me a
line if you need help with that), but still: Make sure the "And any
number of the following" sentence sticks out, possibly by indenting the
keep/all/minimal items.
Clarify the default behaviour - how does reprepro behave if Tracking:
is not set? I don't know.
Explain how to add more options, might be as simple as
-And any number of the following (or none):
+And any number of the following (or none), separated by space:
Suggest to run "retrack" on all codenames as else remove/removesrc on
existing packages will fail for missing tracking information. And that
message ... see next point.
... and last, but not least, fix the wording in tracking.c:873 (and :907):
-"Could not found tracking data for %s_%s in %s to remove old files from it.\n",
+"Could not find tracking data for %s_%s in %s to remove old files from it.\n",
(assuming this is supposed to be the message).
Kind regards,
Christoph
