Hi,
I'm new to Debian packaging. For my package limereg two bug reports were
generated, telling me that 'multiarch = same' is void because some man
files differ between i32 and i64. When I look into the .diff, that is
attached to the bug report, I see different creation-date entries. The
man-pages are auto-generated during the packaging, and the content is
the same for i32 and i64, but the date of the generation (which is
included in the manpage output) differs.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792624
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792625
Is it necessary to fix this ? The creation date of the man-page isn't
that important I guess ...
If not (unnecessary to fix): Can I just close the bug and underlign that
the content of the manpage is equal between both architectures ?
If yes (necessary to fix): As upstream I could consider removing
man-autogeneration from automake, and add pre-generated files to the
source-tarball instead. The manpage-generation adds an annoying
dependency to help2man and doxygen anyway, which people don't need that
only want to install an unpatched version from the source-tarball.
Thanks :)
Regards,
Roelof
