Manual pages for executables shipping with 0.9.1

[Stephan Peijnik]

It seems as if the 0.9.1 tarball is missing some manual pages. As I am packaging IPython 0.9.1 for Debian right now I wrote some manual pages for ipcontroller, ipcluster, ipengine, ipythonx and ipython-wx. These manual pages only include basic information and most of them only resemble the output of <command> --help.

However, I wanted to let you know that those exist and I would be happy if you could include them in the next release of IPython.

All manual pages can be found (together with other Debian packaging-related files) at http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/ipython/trunk/debian/. Feel free to use them, comment on them and provide enhancements and fixes.

God, I hate that when you target a bug to a release, it doesn't inherit its already existing properties...

I'll take care of this one.

I have noticed that when you file features requests/bugs for lauchpad
itself, they are pretty responsive.

Good point. It's not worth complaining without reporting :)

This is now: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/407186

[Fernando Perez (fdo.perez)]

Fix committed in my dev branch:

https://code.launchpad.net/~fdo.perez/ipython/trunk-dev

Unless we spot any problems here, I'll go ahead and merge this into trunk/0.10 for release. I'd appreciate a quick eye over the changes, they are minimal.

[Fernando Perez (fdo.perez)]

Committed and pushed to trunk, will be in 0.10 final.
