Bug ID: 250834
Summary: pkg-create(8) description of manifest file is outdated
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: p...@wp.eu
CC: d...@freebsd.org
Manual page for the pkg-create utility
(https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?pkg%2Dcreate) describes +MANIFEST file
details, but it mentions a 'file' clause, while it should be 'files' followed
by a collection of files enclosed in braces, as described on Microsoft Github
project page of pkg utility (see section "Manifest":
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg#manifest).
In my opinion, "MANIFEST FILE DETAILS" section of the manual page could start
with at least one sentence of introduction, like:
> +MANIFEST file uses UCL, the Universal Configuration Language. See an example
> in the EXAMPLES section.
And then, I would introduce an "EXAMPLES" section like in many other FreeBSD
manual pages, just copy-pasting the example from Microsoft Github page linked
above.
Wiki page https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng is also outdated and suggests that
+MANIFEST is a YAML file.
