Message-ID: <5486E96D.5020001@bsd.lv> (raw)
Hi folks,
When I'm forced to use OS X, I'm forced to use "homebrew" to manage
software. What this does is, instead of installing software, it links
the software to a magical location, e.g.,
/usr/local/share/man/man1/itstool.1@ ->
../../../Cellar/itstool/2.0.2/share/man/man1/itstool.1
These manuals don't appear anywhere in man(1) now because they're
outside of the chdir. In fact, when I run makewhatis with -p, I see
many more of these from the base system installation:
/usr/share/man/:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Documentation/man/jstat.1:
outside base directory
(Which is linked from /usr/share/man/man1/jstat.1.)
...etc.
Is there a way to relax this constraint, or would that break anything
further into the parse sequence, i.e., so's?
Best,
Kristaps
