Bug#874680: /usr/games/trek: trek: Man page says to read the full documentation but doesn't say how

[Ben Wong]

Package: bsdgames
Version: 2.17-22
Severity: normal
File: /usr/games/trek
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The manpage for trek(6) is extremely brief. This is by design as there
is full documentation in a troff file. Unfortunately, the manpage
neglects to explain how to read that documentation.

This bug affects the game's core usability as the manual is required
for playing the game. (For example, it's not very much fun if you
don't even know the polar coordinate system used).

I have fixed the man page so that it explains how to read the
documentation. Please see the attached patch.

I also suggest that a PDF copy of documentation be included in
/usr/share/doc/bsdgames/trek.pdf for people who may not have groff
installed.
