Bug 128363 – DateManip-5.44 is missing man-pages (fix inside)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Hartmann (RETIRED) 2006-04-01 03:20:16 UTC]

The new Version of DateManip is missing the man-pages by default. I was kinda irritated first but then had a look at the README/INSTALL files where the author explains that you know need to gernerate them by yourself using pod2man.

We don't install man pages w/ perl ebuilds at all, was causing nasty collisions. Use perldoc instead. ;)

See Bug 71659 and the huge number of duplicates.
