Emerge don't install man pages anymore. Because missed doman in ebuild.

Created attachment 307353 [details, diff]
doman-rtorrent.patch

"#man_MANS = rtorrent.1" in Makefile.am seems to have caused this

would not really make sense to reconfigure the whole build system for this file

The patch by Julian Ospald at comment #2 fixes this issue in my computer.

I can verify this, though I think it simply a matter of the 'doman' being removed when the version was bumped from 0.8.9 to 0.9.1 (and so I'm not quite sure why comment #2 is refering to the Makefile.am). Most probably a simple editing mistake as various patches were removed at that juncture.

0.9.2 & libtorrent-0.13.2 are now available, and with the addtion of 'doman doc/rtorrent.1' the ebuild can be bumped keeping the one patch that is currently applied, ${P}-ncurses.patch. I've built using PORTDIR_OVERLAY and besides the same 'QA issues' warning ('report upstream') that effected prior builds, it works as expected.

That might be also that the manpage is outdated. At least there is no 'enable_trackers' anymore, and it took me a while to grep it out of the sources...

I've added the doman call to the 0.9.2 ebuild.
