Description Richard Graham 2006-05-31 09:11:03 UTC 
The manual page for python (/usr/bin/python) is missing:

$ man python
No manual entry for python

$ find /usr/share/man -name "python.*"
/usr/share/man/man5/python.eclass.5.gz

I tried re-merging Python with USE=doc, but it still wasn't installed.

include the python man page

This patch fixes the ebuild to install the man page.

(In reply to comment #1)

Some comments on the patch... the patch is actually against the latest python ebuild, but should work on older ebuilds. The problem was that the ebuild installed with make altinstall rather than make install, so I added a line to the ebuild to run make maninstall after make altinstall.

i think this is pretty important. i'll get in a fix soon.
