Description of problem: We ship the package with 3 utilities and with 1 man page, which should be common for all of them. However, there is no symbolic link for tracert man page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): traceroute-2.0.10-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ man tracert No manual entry for tracert $ echo $? 1 $ ls -l /usr/share/man/man8/tracer* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-05-12 10:53 /usr/share/man/man8/traceroute6.8.gz -> traceroute.8.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5445 2007-09-26 14:24 /usr/share/man/man8/traceroute.8.gz $ Actual results: There is no man page for tracert utility in the package. Expected results: There is a man page for tracert utility in the package. Additional info:
Formally, we do not support "tracert". (I am the upstream maintainer too). The idea (certainly a little questionable) was to help the network admins, who previously worked under windoze and mechanically typed (under a pressure) "tracert" instead of "traceroute". In general, "tracert" is not just "traceroute -I" -- it has slightly different output etc. Thus we do not provide "tracert" now, hence "man tracert" should not confuse users about actually not implemented utility... Perhaps remove /bin/tracert symlink at all? Or to leave things as is?
Additionally, the placing such a symlink in /bin (not /usr/bin) seems a little bit ugly. /bin is not a place for such things. I am going to drop /bin/tracert. Any comments?
Dropping /bin/tracert seems reasonable.
