[Pkg-octave-devel] Manpages for octave-cli and octave-gui
In package version 3.8.0~rc2-1, the commands octave-gui and octave-cli
are lacking manpages. I implemented a solution in commit b3d5849, by
linking octave-gui.1.gz and octave-cli.1.gz to octave.1.gz and by
changing, through a patch, the original manpage to read this:
SYNOPSIS
octave [options]... [file]
octave-cli [options]... [file]
octave-gui [options]... [file]
DESCRIPTION
Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides convenient command line (octave-cli)
and graphical user (octave-gui) interfaces for solving linear and
nonlinear problems numerically. The octave command is a synonym
for octave-gui.
instead of this:
SYNOPSIS
octave [options]... [file]
DESCRIPTION
Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically.
Please, tell me whether you think this solution is acceptable, and I will
forward the patch upstream.
