[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#452281: There are no manpages in the package

[Enrico Zini]

Package: mapserver-bin
Version: 5.0.0-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

mapserver-bin contains various tools, but no manpages:

$ dpkg -L mapserver-bin
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/legend
/usr/bin/scalebar
/usr/bin/shp2img
/usr/bin/shp2mysql
/usr/bin/shptree
/usr/bin/shptreetst
/usr/bin/shptreevis
/usr/bin/sortshp
/usr/bin/tile4ms
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/mapserver-bin
/usr/share/doc/mapserver-bin/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/mapserver-bin/copyright
/usr/share/doc/mapserver-bin/changelog.Debian.gz

It's a bit hard to figure what the tools do.  Most of them don't even
have useful commandline help:

$ shptree --help
Error opening shapefile --help.


Ciao,

Enrico
