• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Benkstein 2004-08-06 07:24:51 UTC]

New ebuild for new getmail 4.0.7 released this night. Slight change
due to change in install script. From changelog:

  -change location of documentation/man pages to
  <prefix>/share/{doc/getmail,man}/ to be more comformant with the FHS.

*Update: 4.0.8 is the newest version.*

I bumped to 4.0.8 in CVS. I had to make some changes to make sure that the way the author likes to handle docs is consistent with the way Gentoo handles docs.

Thank you for reporting!

From the ebuild:
<code>
src_install() {
[...]
    # and the man pages..
    gzip --silent ${D}/usr/share/man/getmail*
}
</code>

This is unnecessary because prepman already gzips the manpages for us. Correct
me if I'm wrong.

[Comment 5 Tom Martin (RETIRED) 2004-08-06 15:41:35 UTC]

You're quite right. Removed from the ebuild (although it's purely a stylistic matter.. gzipping at one point rather than another).

Thanks again.
