But check-plist, and the port do. :) This is a completely bogus answer. If I don't want perllocal.pod.gz in the port, then I simply remove it in the post-install target. I'm not forced to keep it. As the maintainer, you should know exactly why this file is needed, or if it's needed. If it's not, then just remove it and be done with it. > I only learned about MANCOMPRESSED from the porters documentation, when > I ran up against this issue. However.

I have never ever seen "compress-man" before. I've never used it. The documentation omits it because you aren't supposed to use it is my guess. If I haven't seen it before, where are you getting told to use it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
