postdownload man page

The man pages for splat and it's utilities are not formatted correctly. They appear to be simply converted from the online pdf documents and do not render correctly with man or info.

I have attempted to correct the man page for postdownload and have attached it to this BZ. I will attempt to correct the main splat man page and srtm2sdf and attach them later unless the maintainer beats me to it.

new splat man page

Bulk of the work is done to the splat.1 man page. Document is new source from the SPLAT! webpage - the man page currently in the package is 2+ years out of date.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:51:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2015-06-14 13:35:41 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Richard Shaw 2015-06-17 20:38:18 UTC
I don't have bandwidth to fix the man pages right now but I have included the ones attached to this bug report for the next build.

Comment 5 Richard Shaw 2015-07-02 15:42:26 UTC
I have committed the updates to SCM but unless you feel it's important enough to push another update I was going to wait until the next rebuilt (new version, rebuilt due to dependency, etc).
