Subject: bug#28241: man page in r-minimal contains timestamp
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2017 14:59:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878ti6v60s.fsf@elephly.net> (raw)
The compressed man page at “share/man/man1/R.1.gz” provided by r-minimal
contains a time-dependent string.
Comparing the uncompressed man pages built at different times on
different machines shows me this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff /tmp/berlin/share/man/man1/R.1 /tmp/hydra/share/man/man1/R.1
2c2
< .TH R "1" "July 2017" "R 3.4.0" FSF
---
> .TH R "1" "May 2017" "R 3.4.0" FSF
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The man page is created with a rule in “doc/Makefile.in”:
@$(HELP2MAN) --include=$(srcdir)/R.aux --no-info --output=R.1 \
--name="a language for data analysis and graphics" \
$(top_builddir)/bin/R
“doc/R.aux” does not contain a timestamp, nor does the help output of R
itself. Is help2man to blame here?
