Modified files:
gnu/usr.bin/man/man man.c
Log:
man(1) can't handle compressed included files.
Some ports will install with compressed manpages. man handles
this by looking for the .gz version of a man source file.
It is also common to include other files with the .so
directive where commands or functions share a man page.
Traditionally ports have had to handle this by either not
compressing the manpages, or using the _MLINKS macro in the
port makefile to create symlinks to the actual source file,
rather than using .so versions. Notably, the current version
of Xorg port breaks. See ports/113096 and ports/115845.
