I stated here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00576.html that the "Problem with 575 man pages" reported here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00536.html was not actually a cygport issue. I was wrong. It is a problem with cygport. Here's what the man3/ directory looks like just after the src_install() procedure finished, but before __postinst (removed owner info for width) ... (sz) date+time lrwxrwxrwx 15 Mar 27 00:22 wunctrl.3x.gz -> curs_util.3x.gz lrwxrwxrwx 17 Mar 27 00:20 wvline.3x.gz -> curs_border.3x.gz lrwxrwxrwx 21 Mar 27 00:21 wvline_set.3x.gz -> curs_border_set.3x.gz Here's what it looks like after __postinst: ... (sz) date+time -rw-r--r-- 20 Mar 27 00:30 wunctrl.3x.gz -rw-r--r-- 22 Mar 27 00:30 wvline.3x.gz -rw-r--r-- 26 Mar 27 00:30 wvline_set.3x.gz And... $ zcat wunctrl.3x.gz gzip: wunctrl.3x.gz: not in gzip format $ cat wunctrl.3x.gz .so curs_util.3x.gz It looks like the fact that ncurses' install procedure already gzipped the "real" manpages, and named the symlinks with a trailing .gz, confuses cygport's __postinst procedure a bit. I've worked around it in the latest ncurses release(s), but just wanted to re-report the issue. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
