[MacPorts] #48141: "port select" should link manpages
#48141: "port select" should link manpages ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: cwbrune@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: select version manpage | Port: ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- `port select` makes it easy for a user to manage multiple versions of a port. However, there is no symbolic link in `/opt/local/share/man` corresponding to that in `/opt/local/bin`. For example, after typing `port select gcc mp-gcc49`, the command `gcc` runs the selected version. However, `man gcc` says "No manual entry for gcc." Selecting a version using `port select` should also make appropriate symbolic links so the manpage for the selected version is displayed when `man <group>` is given. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48141> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
#48141: "port select" should link manpages --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: cwbrune@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: duplicate | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by larryv@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => duplicate * component: base => ports * milestone: MacPorts Future => * keywords: select version manpage => * type: request => enhancement Comment: The `port select` mechanism can already link anything; it’s up to the individual `*_select` ports to specify which files to link. For instance, the [[source:trunk/dports/sysutils/python_select/files/base@137886#L8|python]], [[source:trunk/dports/sysutils/python2_select/files/base@137886#L8|python2]], and [[source:trunk/dports/sysutils/python3_select/files/base@137886#L10|python3]] groups do link man pages. Duplicate of #29752, which I’ll expand to cover all select groups. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48141#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
