Description Götz Waschk 2021-03-02 10:55:13 UTC
Description of problem:
The documentation of git-lfs is not accessible in the package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
git-lfs-2.10.0-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. git-lfs
2. man git-lfs
3.

Actual results:
git-lfs/2.10.0 (Fedora %{fedora}; linux amd64; go 1.13.6)
Sorry, no usage text found for "git-lfs"
No manual entry for git-lfs

Expected results:
git-lfs should print the usage info

Additional info:
The man pages are there, but not installed:
/usr/share/doc/git-lfs-2.10.0/docs/man/git-lfs.1.ronn

Comment 1 Götz Waschk 2021-03-02 12:33:34 UTC
For building the man pages, you need ronn (from ruby), for the help text to be correct, use
make commands/mancontent_gen.go
%gobuild -o _bin/git-lfs %{goipath}

The help text is generated to mancontent_gen.go.

Comment 3 Carl George 🤠 2022-10-05 02:16:46 UTC
I worked around the ronn build dependency by duplicating what RHEL 8 does, which is generate the man pages separately on Fedora and include them as a pre-generated tarball.
