Bug 16488 – Missing pthread man-pages in glibc-2.3.2_pre1

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2003-02-27 12:54:14 UTC]

When emerging glibc (2.3.2_pre1) the pthread man-pages is not installed.
I have reproduced this bug twice (with re-emerging).
As far as I can see the sys-libs/glibc/files dir contains a file called
glibc-manpages-2.3.1.tar.gz2 and when unpacked it contains all the missing
man-pages.

So a as far as I can see, the problem will be solved by editing the glibc-ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge glibc
2. man pthread_create
3. ls -al /usr/share/man/man3/p* returns no pthread-manpages.
Actual Results:  
Nothing.... That's the problem :-)

Expected Results:  
Given me a beatiful man-page to look at

 # info libc

and search for 'POSIX Threads'.  I will not add the manpages until the next
official release (meaning this was intentional).

Did not add on purpose.
