This is not just required by lintian, but also by the policy [1]. I would also not be lucky to have >100 executables lying around without the standard documentation (which manpages are). Can you be a bit more specific about your difficulties in writing the manpages? If the tools are quite similar, you may combine the manpages of several tools into one. You may also discuss this with upstream. > So, can I prepare this package to be sponsored with this lintian message? I would not sponsor it -- but I also can't do this yet anyway :-) Best regards Ole [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
