Bug#1035308: jackd2: missing man page for alsa_in/alsa_out (alsa_io)
Package: jackd2
Version: 1.9.21~dfsg-2
Severity: minor
Hello!
I've recently found out about alsa_in and alsa_out, which seem to be
useful tools to support additional sound cards.
But where's the man page for these two tools?
There seems to be [one] in Debian/bullseye (jackd2/1.9.17~dfsg-1)
[one]: <https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/jackd2/alsa_in.1.en.html>
But, apparently, package jackd2 somehow lost this man page since the
time bullseye was released as stable...
Was this man page intentionally dropped?
Why? I cannot find any trace in /usr/share/doc/jackd2/changelog.Debian.gz
Or was the man page dropped by accident?
If so, please re-enable it. The man page seems to be included in
the [source] package, but not in the binary package:
$ dpkg -L jackd2 | grep man/
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/jackd.1.gz
[source]: <https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/jackd2/-/tree/c5c9574ebe6045ebdb869ff990ebd224e85d8126/man>
I am not sure whether this fix is considered an [appropriate] change during
the hard freeze: maybe it is a documentation fix?!?
In case it is not, it's anyway OK, if you fix this bug after bookworm is out.
[appropriate]: <https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html#appropriate>
Thanks for your time and dedication!
