Description Hugo Mildenberger 2009-11-23 18:56:48 UTC

Looking for the reason why man 5 webapp.eclass does not show up, I found that the man page is provided only in xml format. 

To overcome this, emake had to run "app-admin/webapp-config-1.50.16-r3/doc/Makefile". However, this would need app-text/xmlto" which isn't in the ebuild dependency list. 

Will attach a patch which adds a use flag "doc", adds a conditioanl dependency on app-text/xmlto and bumps EAPI to 1 -- for being able to set IUSE to "+doc", because without doc you're lost here.

Thanks for the patch but it's not the way to go I'm afraid.
In -r3 installing of eclass manpage was even purposely removed as it collides with eclass-manpages package.

For webapp.eclass manpage, please emerge eclass-manpages.
