Busybox ebuild does install its man page. This prevents users viewing its documentation. Also when selecting a busybox option using eselect (awk or vi), the following error: Couldn't find a man page for busybox; skipping. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install busybox 2.man busybox Actual Results: No manual entry for busybox Expected Results: open busybox manpage
Ping, since I just found the same problem.
It's basically a matter of adding "doman busybox.1" after the "cd docs" line.
I was wrong, it also needs a "make doc" in src_compile(). I use this patch which works well (ignore the httpd part): --- /usr/portage/sys-apps/busybox/busybox-1.32.0.ebuild 2020-07-16 21:41:46.185438669 +0200 +++ busybox-1.32.0-r1.ebuild 2020-10-31 14:35:00.034064503 +0100 @@ -217,6 +217,7 @@ export SKIP_STRIP=y emake V=1 busybox + emake V=1 doc } src_install() { @@ -254,6 +255,14 @@ newconfd "${FILESDIR}/ntpd.confd" "busybox-ntpd" newinitd "${FILESDIR}/ntpd.initd" "busybox-ntpd" fi + if busybox_config_enabled HTTPD; then + newconfd "${FILESDIR}/httpd.confd" "busybox-httpd" + newinitd "${FILESDIR}/httpd.initd" "busybox-httpd" + docinto txt + sed -En '/httpd implementation for busybox/,/\*\//s#^ \*( |$)##p' \ + networking/httpd.c >httpd.txt + dodoc httpd.txt + fi if busybox_config_enabled SYSLOGD; then newconfd "${FILESDIR}/syslogd.confd" "busybox-syslogd" newinitd "${FILESDIR}/syslogd.initd" "busybox-syslogd" @@ -289,6 +298,7 @@ dodoc AUTHORS README TODO cd docs + doman busybox.1 docinto txt dodoc *.txt docinto pod
