Followup-For: Bug #774431
Dear Maintainer,
Note that adding a dependency on help2man is not sufficient. In order to get a proper man page one also needs to update the timestamp of the configure.ac file in order for the following rule to be triggered:
$(srcdir)/pango-view.1.in: dummy ../configure.ac $(pango_view_SOURCES)
$(AM_V_GEN) $(top_srcdir)/missing --run \
help2man --no-info --section=1 \
--help-option="--help-all" --output="$@.tmp" \
--name 'Pango text viewer' ./pango-view \
&& mv "$@.tmp" "$@" \
My understanding is that running autogen.sh is supposed to do so but it seems that the Debian package uses autoreconf instead which a GNOME developper claims is unsupported.
