Thanks for your submission; it had been so long since
the last update, I was I was waiting for 2.6.0 to put
one in... ;)
You shouldn't have to tinker with the source like you
did in your patch: just issue
"--mandir=${MANPREFIX}/man"
as part of the CONFIGURE_ARGS in the port Makefile.
Since the existing port Makefile already has
GNU_CONFIGURE=yes, this should be issued
automatically, but for some reason in line 58 of the
existing Makefile, the author used "CONFIGURE_ARGS="
instead of "CONFIGURE_ARGS+=", wiping out the default
CONFIGURE_ARGS. I think this should be changed to
"CONFIGURE_ARGS+=".
By setting MANCOMPRESSED to the appropriate value in
the Makefile, you should obviate the need for
explicitly issuing commands to compress manpages.
