[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#404791: bjam: manpage leads to incorrect HTML documentation

[Jordà Polo]

Package: bjam
Version: 3.1.13-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

bjam manpage points to /usr/share/doc/bjam/Jam.html in the "SEE
ALSO" section, but that file doesn't exist at all, and it looks like
/usr/share/doc/bjam/index.html should be used instead. Attached is a
very simple patch to fix this problem.

(Other than that, I don't know jam/bjam at all, but I'm not sure
generating bjam.1 from jam.1 is enough. For example, according to the
HTML documentation, bjam supports up to 13 levels of debugging[1],
while jam, and thus the manpage, only has 9.)
