My gentoo install seems to use bzipped man pages, but the stable man2html 1.5l-r2 doesn't support them. This patch adds that support simply and simplifies the code that was there for determining the compression type. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install gentoo 2.install man2html 3.use man2html to view a manpage Actual Results: Invalid Manpage The requested file /usr/share/man/man3/printf.3.bz2 is not a valid (unformatted) man page. If the file is a formatted manpage, you could try to load the plain file. Expected Results: The manpage, formatted nicely in html. --- man2html 2007-05-23 12:56:23.000000000 -0400 +++ man2html.save 2007-05-23 12:56:09.000000000 -0400 @@ -84,20 +84,29 @@ if [ x"$PAGE" = x ]; then exit 0 fi -if [ -r "$PAGE" ] +if [ ! -r "$PAGE" ] then - case "$PAGE" in - *.gz) - zcat "$PAGE" | "$MAN2HTML" "$LL" -D "$PAGE" - ;; - *) - "$MAN2HTML" "$LL" "$PAGE" - ;; - esac -elif [ -r "$PAGE".gz ] -then - zcat "$PAGE".gz | "$MAN2HTML" "$LL" -D "$PAGE" -else - "$MAN2HTML" -E "Strange...

Created attachment 120104 [details, diff] Patch to add bzip support to man2html correct formatting
I didn't exactly match the formatting of the original file. I probably should have done that. The file uses a 4 space indent, but compresses multiples of 8 spaces with TABs <ugly>. There are three lines that would need to be fixed.
