Description Tim Cera 2003-09-21 20:24:58 UTC

Without the /var/cache/man/catx directories the man command doesn't cache. 
 
IMHO the catx directories should be created in the man ebuild. If the default Gentoo 
behavoir is to have caching turned off, then use "NOCACHE" in /etc/man.conf.  
Then in my case I could comment out "NOCACHE" and the directories would be 
there. 
 
The directories would be (section numbers/names from /etc/man.conf): 
cat1 
cat8 
cat2 
cat3 
cat4 
cat5 
cat6 
cat7 
cat9 
cattcl 
catn 
catl 
catp 
cato 
 
kindest regards 
tim
