* How does this affect USE_IMAKE ports? Will we have to add MANx= sections * for X11 ports? Yes, that's what I was thinking. * Looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf and * /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk, I can't find where we don't compress the * manpages if NOMANCOMPRESS is defined. I'm sure I'm missing something * somewhere... No, I'm assuming it's going to install compressed manpages. This is a way to let bsd.port.mk uncompress man pages that are already installed compressed. By the way, if you want to let your imake generate non-compression manpage rules, you can define CompressManPages to NO. * Are we talking about autogeneration part of pkg/PLIST? If not, do we * want to look at getting the manpages from PLIST? I see room for * inconsistancies between MANx= and pkg/PLIST. Yes, to the first question. Eventually we can rip out all the manpages from pkg/PLISTs and let bsd.port.mk add them on the fly. (With the correct suffix, so pkg_delete will work.) But I don't know if we will go that far. Right now it is only to satisfy the porters who want to uncompress manpages depending on the value of NOMANCOMPRESS. Satoshi
