Description Maryna Nalbandian 2018-08-02 07:48:29 UTC
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 alsa-tools

Comment 3 Tim Jackson 2018-08-06 20:26:14 UTC
So, if I understand rightly, some binaries are missing man pages. This is regrettable. However, these are missing upstream. I'm not in a position to start creating new manpages that don't exist upstream (especially for this package which has some obscure binaries, rarely used). Are you/the Man Page Scan project offering to help create them?

Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 10:52:47 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-02-19 17:11:35 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 30 development cycle.
Changing version to '30.

Comment 6 Tim Jackson 2020-01-03 10:06:23 UTC
I'm closing this as WONTFIX on the basis that it needs to be fixed upstream, although I think that's unlikely to happen. The ALSA Project does not currently have a bugtracker that can be readily used for this, so I can't link to a corresponding upstream issue.

Tim, you can use github issue tracker: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-tools/issues
