Hei! I have some problems in packaging the italian manpages, and I would like to hear your suggestion. I'm sorry, it's a lot of stuff, but I'm new ... I hope that these are not old questions.
I have created the package following what joey has done with german and spanish ones, including suggesting the user to modify /etc/manpath.config Now I want to add a rule to make this simple update automatically. The file /etc/manpath.config belongs to package man. Is there any constraint against doing this automatic update from another package? The man package also builds the /var/catman hierarchy to store indexes and formatted pages. Formatted pages in other languages will not be cached if you don't create a complete hierarchy under /var/catman/<locale> or any other dirpath used in /etc/manpath.config Do you think I should add this hierarchy to the package? And what do you think I should do if the man package is not yet installed? (ignore the error|complain|create a dependency) And also, the /var/catman hierarchy cannot be purged although it is used only by man, because of the indexes and the subdirectories that are built in it after the installation. How can I tell to the man package that these are safe to be removed? Anyway also the man package should do this (for the indexes). Could it be worth to split the man package creating a new one for the catman (later cache, when Quinlan will release HFS) and create appropriate dependencies to it? The xman program that comes in xcontrib doesn't understand locales. Should I raise a bug? ciao Fabrizio -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://megabaud.fi/~fpolacco/ Join the UKI Linux Project! | | fingerprint 70 1A 72 2D 2B C8 A5 63 7A C2 CC E0 2A 54 AE DA | | finger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
