Please read section "12.1 Manual pages" in the Debian Policy Manual. The absense of manualpages should be considered a bug. If this was some package in Universe, one could say 'ah well'. But this is code in the Ubuntu main-repository. I would expect Canonical not to release software untill Lintian says it's fine. And I'm pretty sure Lintian warns about missing manpages.
The advantage of man-pages is that you do not have to be on short terms, because --help will scroll to fast. Also, it's a single point where you can find documentation. You can say 'you just need to enter the apt line' but that doesn't work. sudo add-apt-repository http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main Error: need a repository as argument So all isn't as obvious as one should expect. Canonical should just write man-pages (I haven't seen any comments from MvO himself) and stop making a mess of their own packages. -- add-apt-respository: no man page, and no --help https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
