Subject: cron-apt: man cron-apt mentions a configuration example file without any configuration
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2023 08:48:24 +0200
Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.13.0+nmu1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I've tested this in cron-apt versions 0.13.0.1 (Bookworm) and
0.13.0+nmu1 (Bullseye).
I was trying to change some configuration and did: man cron-apt
It says (under "CONFIGURATION"):
"""
The variables that you can set in /etc/cron-apt/config is documented
in the configuration example in /usr/share/doc/cron-apt/examples/config
"""
The file /usr/share/doc/cron-apt/examples/config does not contain any
example but two lines:
"""
# Configuration for cron-apt. For further information about the possible
# configuration settings see /usr/share/doc/cron-apt/README.gz.
"""
I would suggest that the "man" should mention
/usr/share/doc/cron-apt/README.gz straight away.
Also, I think that reads better ".../etc/cron-apt/config are documented in
the..." (change is to are).
Thanks for cron-apt! I use it in quite a few systems for a long time and
I'm really happy with it.
Thank very much!
