[feature] Install man pages

Open balazser opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi @shinokada , Do you think it is this easy to add something like installing man pages from the repo if it presents there?

I used awesome to install https://github.com/alexmyczko/fnt, which tool has no --help option but has man pages. Could awesome use the same logic as installing the bash script with the same name to copy the man pages to the right location? :thinking:

Good point!

And thank you for using Awesome package manager. It seems the package installs the fnt.1 file to the /usr/share/man/man1 directory when you use its make file.

In this case you need to copy the fnt.1 file to the man directory like this:

copy $HOME/.local/share/awesome/fnt/fnt.1 /usr/share/man/man1

Please let me know.
