Description Ivana Varekova 2009-09-25 08:47:59 UTC
Description of problem:
There are missing man page(s) for these tools or config files:
 /etc/logrotate.conf

If the man-pages are in a different package, please describe the details here.

In case the config file has the description inside and no additional man page is needed, please post a comment describing this situation here and set the bug status to CLOSE NOTABUG.

Short description on how to create man pages can be found here:

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Varekova/man-pages

Actual results:
no man pages

Expected results:
man pages available

Comment 1 Daniel Novotny 2009-09-25 10:08:53 UTC
hello Ivana,

the format of the logrotate configuration file is described in detail in the logrotate's man page ("man logrotate")

is this OK for you, or do I need to split this man page into two? we (Red Hat) are also upstream for the package, so this would be no prob...

Comment 2 Ivana Varekova 2009-09-25 11:07:13 UTC
The standard solution is to have two man pages - one for the tool and one for the configuration file. Probably the less time consuming solution is to create a man page logrotate.conf.5 as a link to logrotate.8 man-page: put                   ".so man8/logrotate.8"
to logrotate.conf.5 man page. There is a mention about logrotate man page in the config file and it seems to contains description itself, so the link seems sufficient for me.
