no man page for 'esperanza'

Can confirm this on Ubuntu Gutsy (0.3-1build2) and doesnt look like its included in the lastest Hardy updates.

esperanza (0.4.0-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Added watch file
  * added manpage
  * bumped standards version to 3.7.3, no change
  * moved hompage field in debian/control (lintian warning)
  * added dh_installman to debian/rules

Thanks for contributing to Ubuntu, but I'm not really happy with the proposed manpage...

- The text in the synopsis ("Esperanza is a client written with C++ / Qt4 and aims to be cross-platform goodness for everyone."), beside being quite long, doesn't say absolutely anything about what Esperanza does, just in which language it is written and which platforms it supports (and such information shouldn't be in a manual page anyway).

- The feature list isn't neither something that should be in a manpage, but rather in the package's description (which is very poor, btw, feel free to improve it).

- Where is the actual usage information?

Beside from this the debdiff looks good :). Could you please upload a new candidate with a "real" manpage and subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors again?

Still exists in hardy.

Sorry it took so long for the fix here, the manpage is very detailed :)

Your new debdiff does not address the issues brought up by Siegfried Gevatter (RainCT). Furthermore, it doesn't appear that you generated the debdiff correctly either.

I apologize for my misunderstanding.
Attached is a debdiff, which I hope is closer to acceptable.

Hi,

two comments:
* man debian/esperanza.1 looks somewhat wrong

I fixed line 154 on the manpage, which was giving an error. On the second point, I built this package a few times. I will attach a build log.

This bug was fixed in the package esperanza - 0.4.0-3ubuntu1
