Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: landscape-common
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid
Package Version: landscape-common 1.0.23-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
How to Duplicate:
man landscape-sysinfo
Expected Behaviour: This should display a man page.
Actual Behaviour: No man page exists, so man landscape-sysinfo outputs
No manual entry for landscape-sysinfo
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
Further Information:
The lack of a man page is a bug per Debian policy 12.1.
Looking for sources of information (per man 7 undocumented) from which
to construct one, there is no usage information in /usr/share/doc
/landscape-common/ either, beyond a copyright file and a changelog.
dpkg -L landscape-common does not reveal anything looking remotely like
documentation. Further, dpkg -l | grep landscape reveals only
landscape-common, so there is apparently no landscape-doc package
readily available either.
That landscape-sysconfig can be configured is clear from the presence of
the /etc/landscape directory in the package, but no example client.conf
file is provided, so it is currently impractical to work on configuring
this application unless you read the Python source code itself. Some
(perhaps most) users will be unable or unwilling to read and understand
the source code in order to configure the application.
An example /etc/landscape/client.conf file (posted by Kees in a comment
to LP: #268447 ) is:
[sysinfo]
exclude_sysinfo_plugins = LandscapeLink
The filename client.conf is perhaps not ideal here either, in that there
may be other client apps on the system with configuration files!
Consider man 5 client.conf for example (it displays a man page from
cups!). Perhaps this landscape config file could be renamed to include
the application name, such as landscape-client.conf, since there is
unlikely to be a name collision when doing a (hypothetical) man 5
landscape-client.conf
