Created attachment 1956863 [details] Patch for hostapd.conf.5 Supplying proposed patch based on clone from https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hostapd/blob/main/f/hostapd.conf.5 |
Description of problem: The man page for hostapd.conf contains a "SEE ALSO" item that is an absolute path to a sample hostapd.conf file: SEE ALSO hostapd(8), hostapd_cli(8), /usr/share/examples/hostapd/hostapd.conf But when Fedora packages hostapd, the destination for this example is a different location: $ rpm -ql hostapd | grep hostapd.conf /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf /usr/share/doc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hostapd v2.10 on Fedora 37 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the man page for hostapd.conf ($ man hostapd.conf) 2. Navigate to the "SEE ALSO" section 3. Note the path of the example config file 4. Attempt to view that config file, see that it does not exist. Actual results: There is no file with that path name. Expected results: The man page should be patched at build time to reflect the actual location of the example when the hostapd package is installed. Additional info:
