>Description:
Been seeing this in my periodic weekly output for the last few weeks:
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man7/soxeffect.7.gz: No such file or directory
Finally looked at it, and found that it is a symbolic link of:
soxeffect.7.gz -> sox.1.gz
Which should be:
soxeffect.7.gz -> ../man1/sox.1.gz
Eventually trace the install process and it appears that it installs
to stage and then get's compressed altering
"soxeffect.7 -> ../man1/sox.1" into "soxeffect.7.gz -> sox.1.gz"
Setting NO_STAGE, it installs into /usr/local/man, uncompressed man
pages so the link remains functional. Which looks strange since
everything else is compressed.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Work around is use NO_STAGE. Haven't delved into staging much yet.
Looks like the culprit is in bsd.stage.mk, strips off the any path
information on both the link and the dest.
link="/usr/ports/audio/sox/work/stage/usr/local/man/man7/soxeffect.7"
dest=$(readlink $link) # dest="../man1/sox.1"
cd ${link%/*} # cd /usr/ports/.../man7
ln -sf ${dest##*/}.gz ${link##*/}.gz
Probably needs to test if the $dest is a relative or absolute link.
Though if its an absolute link, it should check whether the path is
the same or not.
