Package: xterm
Version: 327-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1
Dear Maintainer,
The ctlseqs.txt file is not built from ctlseqs.ms if it is modified
(which it should be, since it is wrong in a few places).
The command to bytewise-reproduce the existing file is:
$ groff -P{-c,-b,-o,-u} -Tascii -t -ms < ctlseqs.ms > ctlseqs.txt
Note: You need to add a build-dep on `groff`, not just `groff-base`,
in order to install the macro packages `-ms`.
But there are some *better* command variants.
* Remove the -P options to preserve formatting, less can handle it.
* -Tutf8 (better quotes/bullets; the VT fonts have everything they need).
* -Tpdf
* -Thtml
The html and pdf formats provide significant features not in the txt
version, though the PDF doesn't have a Table of Contents.
-Ben
