  1. An interesting moment: , inxi packager, told me that tests had found a typo in the man page. I have no idea how something can go through a code marked up text file containing data and code samples, and determine what is and what is not a typo, yet there it did it, and it was right, a typo. It was however wrong to give an alert to the path /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc which is now, unfortunately, yet another standard. No idea why /etc/[app].d/[app].conf not enough.
