Description of problem: Manpage of thrift is only a template with no useful content Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.1-17.fc24.3 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install thrift 2. man 1 thrift Actual results: A template of manpage with lots of placeholders (Seems from debian) NAME thrift - program to do something SYNOPSIS thrift [options] files... bar [options] files... DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the thrift and bar commands. thrift is a program that... OPTIONS These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a com‐ plete description, see the Info files. -h, --help Show summary of options. -v, --version Show version of program. SEE ALSO bar(1), baz(1). The programs are documented fully by The Rise and Fall of a Fooish Bar, available via the Info system. AUTHOR thrift was written by <upstream author>. This manual page was written by Krzysztof Krzyżaniak (eloy) <eloy>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others). Expected results: A manpage of thrift. Additional info:
I was wondering where the manpage came from when I was looking at the package state, since I knew upstream thrift didn't have one. I think the sensible thing to do is simply delete this skeleton. Lots of programs don't have man pages, and upstream doesn't provide one, so it can't be helped. The thrift binary has built-in docs which are intuitive enough. (`thrift` by itself hints at using `-help` and `thrift -help` is verbose enough). If a man page is needed, upstream can be petitioned to create one, and then we can update the Fedora package to include it.
