Subject: Wrong manpage name in automake 1.11.2
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:00:31 +0100

Hi,

I have compiled automake 1.11.2 on Solaris 9 Sparc with Sun Studio 12 with OpenCSW
build standards and get wrong man page names:

/opt/csw/share/man/man1/aclocal-1.11.1
/opt/csw/share/man/man1/automake-1.11.1

I think the origin are these wrong versions in the files

unstable9s% more automake.1 
.so man1/automake-1.11.1
unstable9s% more aclocal.1 
.so man1/aclocal-1.11.1



Best regards

Thanks for your report, but this is not an error IMHO: you are installing an
automake release for the 1.11.x, so its manpages get installed with a name
like "automake-1.11".  This has been true for the various past automake
releases as well.

Anyway, I'm not closing this bug report yet, in case you have something to
add, or there is something I've overlooked.  I will proceed to close it in
a few days if there is no objection.

Regards,
  Stefano

I wouldn't object against 1.11, but it installs as 1.11.1 whereas it is 1.11.2.

Yes, but the last `.1' in `man1/automake-1.11.1' etc. is just the file extension
for a man page in section 1 (i.e., "general commands"); it is not meant to be
part of the automake version number :-)
