This looks like a kernel-2.eclass; not a genkernel issue. Reassigning back.

But the kernel-2.eclass does not build anything, it's up to genkernel to build
any part of the kernel right now.

So it can't be a kernel issue :)

tag, you're it.

Genkernel doesn't and never did do manpages and I think this is better in the eclass since that way Portage actually handles the manpages - introducing lots of arbitrary files getting installed into / isn't a good idea without proper package management, which we have in Portage.

Mike; please comment and re-assign to where you think this should go...

i dont see how genkernel has anything to do with this bug

genkernel is for users to easily generate a kernel ...

kernel-2 updated in CVS, have fun while waiting for all those manpages to be made ;)
