Created attachment 141852 [details] [review] Add whatis entries to man pages In Debian, we have been applying a patch to add whatis entries to the man pages included in libpango-perl. It would be great to be able to get this patch applied upstream so that we could drop it in Debian. I have attached the patch to this bug report. Thanks in advance, Nathan Handler
Review of attachment 141852 [details] [review]: Sorry for the late response. Initially, I was hesitant to apply this because it just begs the question: what about Gtk2? I don't think anyone would want to tackle adding whatis entries for all of Gtk2. I changed my mind though, and wanted to apply this. But there are one or two small problems with the patch as it stands: ::: xs/PangoAttributes.xs @@ +981,3 @@ MODULE = Pango::Attributes PACKAGE = Pango::AttrList PREFIX = pango_attr_list_ + Needless whitespace change. @@ -23,3 @@ -=for object Pango::FontDescription -=cut Removing this causes the following methods to end up in a Pango.pod file, overriding the main Pango POD/man page. @@ +16,3 @@ # Don't doc these in Pango, or we'll clobber the main POD page! +=for object Pango layout and render international text This, too, has the potential for overriding the main Pango POD/man page.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter=perl- Thank you for your understanding and your help.
