Description Frank Benkstein 2004-08-06 07:24:51 UTC
New ebuild for new getmail 4.0.7 released this night. Slight change
due to change in install script. From changelog:

  -change location of documentation/man pages to
  <prefix>/share/{doc/getmail,man}/ to be more comformant with the FHS.

Comment 3 Tom Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 13:08:57 UTC
I bumped to 4.0.8 in CVS. I had to make some changes to make sure that the way the author likes to handle docs is consistent with the way Gentoo handles docs.

Thank you for reporting!
Comment 4 Frank Benkstein 2004-08-06 14:19:59 UTC
From the ebuild:
<code>
src_install() {
[...]
    # and the man pages..
    gzip --silent ${D}/usr/share/man/getmail*
}
</code>

This is unnecessary because prepman already gzips the manpages for us. Correct
me if I'm wrong.
Comment 5 Tom Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 15:41:35 UTC
You're quite right. Removed from the ebuild (although it's purely a stylistic matter.. gzipping at one point rather than another).

Thanks again.
