Has the status of the rtorrent man page changed since bug 921745? If not, this can be closed as a DUPE. If it hasn't changed, tl;dr: the man page is so out of date, upstream doesn't ship it in tarballs anymore. Bundling an out of date man page is unhelpful. We're happy to take patches to update it, especially if you also send those upstream. But until that happens, no point bundling a stale man page. Unlikely; the RPM release is all that's changed since then. Maybe removing the reference to the manpage from README would help avoid confusion? I doubt the fact that searching for a manpage on the web gives results helps, but there's not much to be done about that. Really, what I'd like is local documentation on what all of the keybindings do. Without the network, I'm left hitting random keys hoping they do what I want (beyond the simple ones I've already memorized (^D, ^S, ^Q, arrows)). Off the top of my head, ^X is "enter configuration and/or command", enter/return adds torrents manually, ^R or ^H is recheck hash. t or T forces re-announce to tracker in a given torrent's info page. Not particularly helpful, I know. Sorry ;-). Writing up the key bindings and updating the man-page probably isn't too hard if you want it done bad enough to do it yourself. I'm happy to take patches that haven't made it to upstream yet. It might be acceptable to just patch the man page with a bold "THIS MAN PAGE IS STALE, INFORMATION MAY BE INACCURATE" at the top, if you want it included more or less "as is." What do you think? Please re-open if you have a patch you're happy with. :-) |
