It seems that just building fvwm (even with USE=doc) omits the man pages: # emerge ... fvwm (...) # rg -ie 'Build man pages' /var/log/portage/build/x11-wm/*fvwm* (...) fvwm-2.6.9:20220201-151312.log 351: Build man pages? no fvwm-2.6.9:20220201-152539.log 351: Build man pages? yes That 2nd build log is from a custom local repo .ebuild: $ diff -u /var/db/repos/*/x11-wm/fvwm/fvwm-2.6.9.ebuild --- /var/db/repos/gentoo/x11-wm/fvwm/fvwm-2.6.9.ebuild 2022-01-06 10:40:29.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/db/repos/localrepo/x11-wm/fvwm/fvwm-2.6.9.ebuild 2022-02-01 16:21:28.896817368 +0100 @@ -86,6 +86,7 @@ --with-imagepath=/usr/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps:/usr/share/icons/fvwm --enable-iconv --enable-package-subdirs + --enable-mandoc Seems like one has to specify explicitly the man pages building in order to get the "main" man page. Could somebody have a look?

Funnily enough, hit this last night independently.
