That's pretty much how it would appear, but the manpage linter would emit 'hyphen-used-as-minus-sign' as historically those were treated differently. I can't say for certain if it's still misinterpreted anywhere, but I figured I'd forward the patch in case it is relevant. >> In addition to thepatch below, it looks like you have an excess backslash >> in the example given, > > No, that backslash is part of the target file's syntax, and is correct. Ah, my apologies! With the opening quote unescaped I figured there was a typo somewhere. >> as that is rendered by man. > > This is correct. > >> Description: Fixes minor glitches in the manpages >> Author: Jackson Doak <noskcaj@...ntu.com> >> >> Index: passwdqc-1.3.0/pwqcheck.1 >> =================================================================== >> --- passwdqc-1.3.0.orig/pwqcheck.1 2013-08-10 16:55:41.127266666 +1000 >> +++ passwdqc-1.3.0/pwqcheck.1 2013-08-10 16:55:41.127266666 +1000 >> @@ -160,7 +160,7 @@ >> This is needed to use >> .Nm >> as the passwordcheck program on OpenBSD - e.g., with >> -":passwordcheck=/usr/bin/pwqcheck -1:\\" >> +":passwordcheck=/usr/bin/pwqcheck \-1:\\" >> in the "default" section in >> .Cm /etc/login.conf . >> .It Cm -2 > > Speaking of Debian package maintenance, any plans to update to 1.3.1? > We released 1.3.1 in 2016 in response to a bug reported via Debian, but > somehow Debian itself didn't care to update nor fix the bug: > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831356 The reason I forwarded the patch is because I have an updated passwdqc 1.3.1 ready to go, I just haven't contacted the maintainer yet to see if he's still active, working on it, would be interested in pushing what I have, or transferring the package to me. As it stands, Debian is in freeze for the next stable release so nothing would be moving forward right this moment anyway. ~Unit 193 Unit193 @ freenode Unit193 @ OFTC
