Better pointers to documentation in `README` #38

Closed ht990332 closed 1 year ago

ht990332 commented 1 year ago

After updating from 1.1.28 to 2.0.8, I don't know how to set the paper size anymore. Can you please direct me to documentation? Thank you.

It's largely the same as before. See man paper for user configuration and man paperconfig for system-wide configuration. I'll try to make this more obvious in README for the next release; thanks.

Thank you. paperconfig seems gone. Additionally, simply putting A4 in /etc/papersize has no effect anymore. These are the installed files. https://archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/libpaper/files/

export PAPERSIZE=A4 works but I would like a system wide setting.

I'm sorry, I have trouble myself keeping track of the differences between a) libpaper 1.x, b) libpaper 2.x and libpaper 2.x as packaged in Debian! The system default remains /etc/papersize (assuming installation under /usr), and is documented in paper(1).

Correct. And i have /etc/papersize but libpaper does not read the setting there. $ cat /etc/papersize A4

Sorry about that, please can you file a bug report? I'm working on libpaper right now, so I should get to it quickly.

Done. Thank you.
