#36492: git-core @1.7.12.2 +subtree : add a variant to support git-subtree -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: kngspook@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: git-subtree Port: git-core | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by kngspook@…): Manpages as a whole are not shipped with git-core by default; instead we automatically download a separate git-manpages package that the git maintainers provide, and that contains manpages for all the default git commands (some other package management systems treat git's manpages as a separate package). Unfortunately, git similarly doesn't ship with a manpage for git-subtree in contrib/subtree/. Instead they generate it at the "make install-doc" phase, and the generation uses asciidoc and xmlto. I filed a request with them that they do so (https://code.google.com/p/git- core/issues/detail?id=18), but in the meantime I wasn't sure what to do. I could've provided a patch that would've dropped the manpage into the contrib/ directory, but that didn't seem sustainable (though I don't anticipate the manpage to change frequently -- it hasn't from v.1.7.12 to v1.8.0), so if building with +subtree, we pull in a bunch of other dependencies... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36492#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
