Man-Page on www.fping.org is quite old
auerswal opened this issue · comments
The man-page at https://www.fping.org/fping.1.html is quite old, it still contains the typo --quet fixed in May 2017. Thus it is missing the documentation for some options, e.g., -x, and some additional fixes, e.g., -s, --stats.
GitHub seems to render the POD file sufficiently well that you could probably replace the HTML man-page with a link to the current fping.pod similar to the link to the latest ChangeLog file instead of having to update an additional copy at https://www.fping.org/fping.1.html.
(BTW the https://www.fping.org homepage currently lists version 5.0 as the latest release and does not provide version 5.1 in https://www.fping.org/dist/ while there is a 5.1 release on GitHub.)

This is also the reason why Debian Unstable still has version 5.0 — Debian's uscan tool can only check one URL per upstream and I so far used the download directory on https://www.fping.org/ — shall I use Github's fping release page instead?
I am a bit delayed with the release of the fping 5.1 artifacts because the release process was using travic-ci and bintray, which are both obsolete now... I am working on moving to GitHub Actions and I should soon finish the 5.1 release.
The fping homepage still features an old man page version (still called fping.1 instead of fping.8) with long fixed mistakes in it. I would have expected this issue to be easy to resolve, but perhaps you would rather close it as won't fix?
I updated the documentation on the homepage. Sorry for the big delay (and thanks for the reporting the issue).
