Created attachment 639498 [details] emerge --info Hi! eselect-awk assumes fixed list of compressed man page file extensions: rm -f "${EROOT}"/usr/share/man/man1/awk.1{,.bz2,.gz,lzma} for x in ".1" ".1.bz2" ".1.gz" ".1.lzma" ; do This is wrong, since user may use any compress algo and with using one not listed here (e.g. xz) it leads to a problem: # eselect awk set 2 Couldn't find a man page for mawk; skipping.
IMHO it will be better to change check to only ".1" and ".1.*" patterns.
(In reply to Andrew Savchenko from comment #1) > IMHO it will be better to change check to only ".1" and ".1.*" patterns. Agreed for something like that, I use .zst man pages myself which wouldn't be supported either (although zst man pages have other problems, so I doubt many use them right now).
I think I stole that logic from eselect-vi. eselect-python has the same logic as well. @mgorny: any idea how to best fix it for all of them?
But yeah, on second thought, wildcards are scary in any automated things. If were to ask me, I feel need a inherit function (either to get compression formats, or straight up handle man page directly) rather than try to share the code like this. Adding formats would be easy then. I was user-patching eselect-python myself for .zst, although that one has .xz at least (zst is not very relevant right now because man-db doesn't support it without a patch, so I wasn't sure if I should report those things).
