Subject: Bug#4082: No documentation for fvwm modules

From: Larry Gilbert <[email-masked]>

Package: fvwm
Version: 1.24r-24

Documentation for the fvwm modules appears to be missing from this
package.

[Insert obligatory renewal of the fvwm-package-relying-on-fvwm2-package
debate here.]  :-)

I only noticed this because I tried to look up information on GoodStuff.
This module appears to be available only in the fvwm package, and
consequently there is no corresponding documentation in the fvwm2
package.  (There appears to be an otherwise full complement of Fvwm* man
pages in the fvwm2 package.)

Yes, that's because although the manpages have changed a little
between the two versions of fvwm, they still have the same names.
This means you can only have one set of manual pages installed.

I have a new version of fvwm2 in preparation, it should be released by
the end of the month.  This introduces an fvwm-common package which
will hopefully silence the debate once and for all :)

> pages in the fvwm2 package.)

Thanks for pointing this out: I'd forgotten about the GoodStuff
manpage. I will include it in the fvwm package that I'll release at
the same time as the new fvwm2 one.

In the meantime, I'll leave this bug report outstanding, to remind me
to do this.
