Description Hynek Schlawack 2003-10-23 05:46:42 UTC

rman 3.0.9 is obsolete and due to changes in groff tkman is not able to display
manpages correctly.

I will attach a proposed ebuild for 2.1-r2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start tkman with rman 3.0.9
2. view a man-page (eg. ls)

Actual Results:  
see bad strange codes in text etc.

Expected Results:  
show me a correctly rendere man-page :)

Proposed ebuild to fix the rman-Problem.

The patch used is the same as for 2.1-r1 so a simple cp will do.

Nice catch Hynek.

Making tkman depend on rman-3.1 would indeed fix the problem with
handling groff escape codes. However, rman-3.1 is still in the unstable
tree and we can't have a stable package (tkman) with an unstable
dependency (rman.) rman-3.1 needs to be first made stable on all archs
supported by tkman (currently x86, ppc and sparc) before we can make it
a dependency like >=app-text/rman-3.1.

Fortunately tkman-2.2 depends on rman-3.1, so I'll make this bug depend
on bug #23228; hopefully we shall see tkman-2.2 in cvs soon.

Comment 3 Hynek Schlawack 2003-10-31 19:42:19 UTC

There is quick work-around if sticking to an older rman is necessary, as
found on the tkman-Homepage. I wouldn't wait for tkman 2.2 as it depends
on Tcl/Tk 8.4 and that might take a bit...

I'll attach a patch that fixes the problem w/o updating rman maybe you want
to incorporate into the gentoo-patch.

Thanks Hynek.

I've used sed to append the extra flags only if we have >=groff-1.18
and <rman-3.1. Of course, since the upgrade from rman-3.0.9 to -3.1
did not involve any significant changes, I hoping that rman-3.1 will
be bumped stable in the near future (which was what you originally
requested wasn't it.) ;)

Comment 6 Hynek Schlawack 2003-11-01 03:35:46 UTC

That's why I called this solution a "workaround". :) It would make tkman
useful until rman 3.1 is marked stable as w/o it isn't.

i think we can mark it stable now :)
