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?
