man pages question

2009-03-25 Thread Jaromír Mikeš
Dear mentors,

I got these warnings in lintian for my package, having no idea how to solve 
this issue.
I probably have to manage to same man pages opening like this:

man jack-jconv

will be opened on these too:

man jconv
man fconv
man mkwavex

Am I right?
please can somebody advise me?

regards

mira

W: jack-jconv: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/fconv
N:
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should
N:   have a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for
N:   several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs
N:   should have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate
N:   manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as
N:   xman or tkman don't support this.
N:   
N:   If the man pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, lintian may not be able to determine that man pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have
N:   man pages after this package and its dependencies are installed,
N:   please add a lintian override.
N:   
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.1 for details.

This is done by symbolic links.

For example 'man grep' and 'man egrep' are usually the same page. If
the links are not created by your upstream package, then you will
have to create them with debian/pkgname.links
