Bug Description

Binary package hint: yudit

There are some errors on the yudit man page. I've included them here, and added possible changes to make the statements correct. If there's anything I can do let me know.

-- Thanks

Version: 2.8.1-2

1. The man page for Yudit states:

A system configuration file gets copied from /usr/share/yudit/data into $(HOME).yuditrc when user start up yudit for the first time.

A more accurate description might be:

When a user runs yudit for the first time $HOME/.yudit, $HOME/.yudit/data, and $HOME/.yudit/fonts are created and the configuration file, /etc/yudit/yudit.properties, is copied into $HOME/.yudit.

2. The man page states:

If you can not invoke yudit now, the manual pages can be viewed with a text editor in the directory /usr/share/yudit/help

but that directory doesn't exist.

3. The man page states:

The environment variable HOME should point to the user’s home directory, where the .yuditrc configuration file is kept.

A more accurate description might be:

The environment variable HOME should point to the user’s home directory, where the yudit configuration file is kept.

It would be great if you'd check with yudit 2.9.0 on yudit.org. If the issue is still there in 2.9.0, we could create a patch for the author, who is actively incorporating patches. If the issue has resolved in 2.9.0, best would be to have it upgraded in debian and then sync it into ubuntu.

Didn't find any manpage for yudit in 2.9.0 version. It was in the debian directory and it seems 2.9.0 has never been debian packaged.

So I just have this.

For the content of the manpage, it says a configuration file is copied in $HOME whereas it turns out that what is created for real are only empty directories.

Even if this is a minor change, I'd like to see it fixed in Debian just to be sure we don't diverge for such a small change. Could you please file a new bug report about this on Debian BTS?
