#18294: pure-0.16: broken man page --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: godboutn@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: pure, pure-devel | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => fixed * port: pure => pure, pure-devel Comment: Ok. MacPorts base compresses manpages in the destroot phase. It looks for any symlinks to those manpages and if found, recreates them to point to the compressed version. But this is only working if the existing symlink is relative; pure creates an absolute symlink. I changed the pure Makefile to make a relative symlink in r46240 along with updating the port to 0.17. I made the same change in pure-devel in r46243. I filed MacPorts base bug #18302 for the underlying problem that MacPorts doesn't properly re-create absolute manpage symlinks. Finally, I [http://groups.google.com/group/pure- lang/browse_thread/thread/1863fbdd28c8555c asked the author of pure] if he would consider making pure make a relative symlink in the first place. Thanks again for the bug report. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18294#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
