Summary: Formatting bug in rsync man page? (man -k, whatis,
catman -w)
Product: rsync
Version: 3.0.7
Platform: Sparc
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: johnggilmartin at gmail.com
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
As previously posted to rsync mailing list, but received no responses to
indicate whether this is unintended behaviour or not...
##########
I installed rsync package SMCrsync v3.0.7 SPARC and although command
man rsync worked, man -k rsync and whatis rsync did not despite the
fact that I had run a catman -w to rebuild the windex databases. After
reading the catman man page, I suspected it might be due to the
formatting of the line following .SH "NAME" in the man page file
/usr/local/share/man/man1/rsync.1. I changed it from…
rsync \(em a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
… to…
rsync \- a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
… and then ran catman –w again and it had the desired result, i.e. fixed.
The rsync bug-tracking page on rsync's website suggests discussing any
suspected bugs on this list so I thought I'd do that before going all
guns blazing and raising a bug report.
