Package: tar
Version: 1.20-1+lenny1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
It looks like that some descriptions included in tar.1 page are not complete.
According to what I invesigated is that the tarman script responsible for the
extraction of the info from src/tar.c is not able to extract messages that are
split on several lines.
For example the following message from src.tar.c (l 427-432):
{"occurrence", OCCURRENCE_OPTION, N_("NUMBER"), OPTION_ARG_OPTIONAL,
N_("process only the NUMBERth occurrence of each file in the archive;"
" this option is valid only in conjunction with one of the subcommands"
" --delete, --diff, --extract or --list and when a list of files"
" is given either on the command line or via the -T option;"
" NUMBER defaults to 1"), GRID+1 },
is extracted as following in tar.1 (l 199-200)
.It Fl \-occurrence
process only the NUMBERth occurrence of each file in the archive;
Thanks,
Thomas
