Control: affects -1 src:manuals
Owner: jbicha@debian.org

Package Name: manuals
Version: 49~alpha
Upstream Author: Christian Hergert
License: GPL-3+
Programming Lang: C
Description: GNOME developers help program
Manuals is an app for GNOME to install, browse, and search
developer documentation.
.
Only the devhelp2 format is currently supported.
Links
--------
This package will be maintained by the Debian GNOME Team at
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/manuals
The upstream project is at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/manuals
Other Info
--------------
Starting with GNOME 49, Manuals is an official part of GNOME, not in
GNOME Core, but in the Developer Tools set. You can install all these
tools by installing `gnome-devel` on Debian. The official upstream
list is at https://apps.gnome.org/#development
Because GNOME 49 won't be released until a week from now, that list
shows Devhelp instead of Manuals. Manuals is the replacement for the
Devhelp app. I expect we will likely remove Devhelp from Debian during
the Forky development cycle since Devhelp will probably be archived in
GNOME after GNOME 49 is released.
Naming Considerations
-------------------------------
This is yet another very generically named GNOME project. I think this
precise name is unique among apps so I'm packaging this using the
upstream name instead of a Debian-specific rename to gnome-manuals.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bícha
