(Testing: it's @date not @date so why does github change that?)
@date
not @date ; ah.
Thanks @janstary! Please allow us to pick this one up once we've switched to Sphinx for generating man pages.
I've added them to $(EDIT)
in Makefile.in
. makedist.sh
the script we use to create releases actually does replace them. Anyway, the Makefile
does so now too, closing this issue.
Currently, all four manpages contain @date@ and or @version@, see the output of
grep -E '@(date|version)' *.8{,.in}
.This shouldn't be there in the first place: a date is a part of the manpage itself, to be changed whenever someone changes the manpage; and nobody needs two versions of the same manpage installed.
Makefile creates
*.8
from*.8.in
by sed'ing the @variables@; but rather than adding @date@ and @version@ to the list, let's please remove these from the manpages.
