Description OKUMURA N. Shin-ya 2005-03-27 07:01:37 UTC 
/usr/sbin/makewhatis of sys-apps/man-1.5p does not create 'whatis' files for 0p, 1p and 3p section.
I think 'sections' variable of /usr/sbin/makewhatis should be similar to 'MANSECT' of /etc/man.conf, which includes '0p', '1p' and '3p' (and 'tcl', 'p' and 'o').

man-1.6a-makewhatis.patch

try this patch ... makewhatis hard codes the sections rather than using
man.conf, but this patch fixes that

The patch works well, thank you.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-11-10 15:49:58 UTC
