Smokeping 2.6.9 fails to build on FreeBSD

[jeroenh]

Smokeping 2.6.9 is the latest version in the FreeBSD ports tree, and it currently fails to build with an error:

smokeping_config.pod around line 81: alternative text 'the master/slave mode' contains non-escaped | or /

I believe this is because of lib/Smokeping.pm:2634:

L<the master/slave mode|smokeping_master_slave>.

The "/" character there has to be escaped.

I'm also getting this error as well.

Smokeping Version: 2.6.9
Perl v5.18.2
Ubuntu Release: 14.04

smokeping_config.pod around line 81: alternative text 'the master/slave mode' contains non-escaped | or /
POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/pod2man line 71.
make[1]: *** [smokeping_config.5] Error 255

Hello, trunk seems to work. In fact in http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/pub/trunk/smokeping-trunk.tar.gz lib/Smokeping.pm:2634 is:
L<the masterE<sol>slave mode|smokeping_master_slave>

Okay so basically it’s not fixed as it hasn’t been released yet?

I am afraid I am missing something. I tried
downloading/configuring/installing smokeping-2.6.9 (released 04 March 2013)
and I encountered the same error that I thought was a bug. The same
happened 2.6.8, 2.6.7, 2.6.6, etc...

I then downloaded the trunk version and it seems fixed there. The fix is
just a tiny syntax error so the problem was not too serious to overcome in
the first place. As far as I can tell, there has not been a version with
this particular fix released yet, since I can only find it on trunk.

@oetiker if I understand this issue correctly, this has been fixed for a while now since there's been releases after 2.6.9, am I correct?

[oetiker]

true ... lets close and see if someone complains :)
