Hallo folks!
I had to wrote a lot of man pages for a multiple-binary package.
They have to include all the same portion of text for full explanation.
A first solution I found was to provide an additional troff document
which any man page would include as follows:
.so additional.1
But lintian shout out something like:
WHAT IS THAT FOR ? You should not provide a mapage with no corresponding binary
!
For me it is _very_ important to provide such informations in a separate
file, as further modifications will reflect on any page, without the
need
for editing each one by hand.
My advocate suggested a different solution; is it legal to write
something
like:
.so /usr/share/<package-name>/additional.1
in a man page ? What solution would be cleaner to adopt ?
Thanks in advance,
Paolo aka 'blacksheep'
