Package: galan
Version: 0.3.0+beta4-1.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
galan(-real) has the sometimes useful ability to load sheets from a file
at startup, specified at the command line.
From src/galan.c, lines 146-7:
> if( argc > 1 )
> load_sheet_from_name( argv[1] );
The galan-real(1) man page is inconsistent with this, and the wrapper
script galan-wrap.sh (/usr/bin/galan) does not pass any arguments to
galan-real.
My attached patch modifies galan-wrap.sh so that it passes arguments to
galan-real, and updates the man pages galan(1) and galan-wrap(1) to
document this change.
Please let me know if this patch is a sensible modification and if I
have done everything correctly!
Thanks,
