Description John Heidemann 2025-09-01 00:41:21 UTC
The pandoc manual page is not installed, either from the pandoc rpm, nor from the pandoc-cli rpm, nor is there an obvious pandoc-doc rpm.

The pandoc authors wrote an extensive manual page.  I should be able to read it on my system and not be forced to the web.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install pandoc pandoc-cli
2. man -k pandoc
3.
Actual Results:
man -k pandoc says:

    pandoc: nothing appropriate.


Expected Results:
I see the glorious documentation that appears as MANUAL.txt in the pandoc source code.

Additional Information:
Pandoc's INSTALL.md says:

    5.  Cabal does not install the `pandoc.1` man page, but you can
    copy it from the `man/` directory of the source code to
    `/usr/local/share/man/man1/` or wherever man pages go on
    your system.

So presumably the spec needs to manually copy this file, and %files needs to be extended.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2025-09-01 06:03:04 UTC
Thank you - good report.

Not quite sure how the manpage slipped out (though I had brought them back already for f43).

I see it is also missing in f41 and epel10, sigh :-(
