In order to improve usability of packages in Fedora, project Man Page Scan was created and its task is to provide consistency of man pages (and documentation in general). The results are now available for package maintainers to fix documentation issues. If you need to re-run the check yourself, here is the simple process of man page check: 1. Download man-page-day from: https://pagure.io/ManualPageScan/blob/master/f/man-page-day.sh 2. Run the script: $ ./man-page-day.sh wpa_supplicant

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
a) [ Warning ] man page is in section 8. Only commands requiring admin privileges, or deamons should be in this section, the rest should be in section 1 binary /usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase has man page /usr/share/man/man8/wpa_passphrase.8.gz this is theoretically true for wpa_passphrase, but that command is in /usr/sbin since the earliest versions of wpa_supplicant. Moving it elsewhere for the upstream project has a high probability of breaking scripts where its location is hardcoded, so I'm for leaving it there and mark this as false positive. b) [ Error ] config file /etc/logrotate.d/wpa_supplicant has no man page! Check it's content for proper documentation [ Error ] config file /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant has no man page! Check it's content for proper documentation logrotate and systemd configuration files don't need a documentation. I'm for marking the above two cases as false positive. [ Error ] config file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has no man page! Check it's content for proper documentation as per the output of $ man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf I'm for marking the above one as false positive.
