I am using fpm to generate my debian package from a directory which contains my bash script.
The directory has only this bash script. I want to add a man page to the package so that I can view the man page using man command after installing my deb package . how to do so ?
What's the fpm option or command to include the created manpage in the package ?
Add usr/share/man with your man pages to the option on fpm
In my makefile which runs fpm I have ronn which creates man.5 pages from markdown.
@mkdir -p pkg/tmp/usr/share/man/man5
@ronn -r README.md --pipe > pkg/tmp/usr/share/man/man5/example.5
(cd pkg && \
fpm -s dir -t deb -C tmp ---other-stuff usr/share/man)
See the docs example: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use-cases/make-install.html#package-up-the-manpages-create-nodejs-doc
