I've updated the `pat' Debian package to v0.15.0 and pushed to salsa.d.o git. Upstream changes since v0.13.1 include improvements to VARA and AX25 (AGWPE).While testing the package, I noticed a couple of minor issues.

Upstream changes since v0.13.1 include improvements to VARA and AX25 (AGWPE).
1) The binary package installs a manpage for pat-winlink-configure, but there is no binary with that name in the package. Perhaps this moved in
this new version? I am able to edit my configuration with "pat-winlink configure" (that is, using the default binary with the verb "configure".
2) The manpages for pat-winlink and for pat-winlink-configure refer to /home/USER/.wl2k/config.json, which is the legacyDataDir according to
the sources (see internal/directories/directories.go). I believe the
correct path ~/.config/pat/config.json. That's where my configuration
file exists.
Otherwise, the packaging looks good and the software works fine. I
tested it in telnet mode and also exercised the http UI.
Cheers,
tony
Pardon my delays as I was addressing some RL items. Below are some attempted responses. If realtime chat may help, I'd be glad to make myself available on
IRC (OFTC, donfede, UTC -4).
1) The two man pages included with the `pat' Debian package follow the two pages provided by upstream, with the binary name "pat" replaced with "pat-winlink" per Debian bug #994822 (and d/patches/04-update_man_pages_for_renamed_binary_994822.patch circa 2021-Nov).
The second man page "pat-configure" or "pat-winlink-configure", as you noted, provides information on the default binary and functionality using the verb or
argument "configure". This is similar to man pages like "git help" / "git-help".
I'm not clear what change if any is needed here, but subjectively I might leave things the way they are given upstream and other similar man page examples (though of course constructive dialog and direction is welcome).
2) Thanks for the good eyes. I've refreshed d/patches/04-update_man_pages_for_renamed_binary_994822.patch to use the updated configuration file locations documented by upstream.
Standing by for next steps as cycles are available.
