Bug 123328 – x11-libs/libX11-1.0.0 patch to fix man pages

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philip Kovacs 2006-02-18 17:38:56 UTC]

This package creates /usr/share/man/man3/*.3x.gz man pages, but incorrectly creates shadow man (man pages that reference other pages) of the form:

.so man3x/<page name>

These shadow pages cannot be found by man since there is no man3x directory.

Examples:

man XConfigureWindow (works since its a real man page, but)
man XMoveWindow (fails as its a man page referencing man3x/XMoveWindow.3x.gz)

Another example:

man XGrabPointer (works, but)
man XUngrabPointer (fails referencing ./man3x/XGrabPointer.3x.gz)

The attached patch to the ebuild moves all libX11 man pages and shadow pages to section 3 and corrects this issue.

The upstream maintainers should be notified of course.

This bug should replace bug 123140 .
