--nextPart12993466.vMBxBk8AN5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I'm currently making a port for a program that has some of its manpages=20 translated into other languages but not all of them. There doesn't seem=20 to be a good way to handle this, since setting MANLANG assumes all=20 manpages have been translated. I've found a mail in the archives from earlier this month=20 (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-May/023177.html)=20 that tries to address the exact same issue, but I don't really like the=20 solutions provided there. In fact I don't even see how they can work,=20 e.g. when you want to install multiple languages. Putting the manpages=20 in the pkg-plist file would work, but then they aren't compressed. I think it would be better if the list of manpages for a particular=20 language defaults to the standard manpages, just as it currently works,=20 but with the possibility to overwrite this list. Something like the=20 following perhaps to install German and French translations with the=20 latter being incomplete: MANLANG=3D "" de fr MAN1=3D page1.1 page2.1 MAN1_fr=3D page1.1 I'm not entirely familiar with Makefile syntax, but I suppose this would=20 require only minimal changes to Mk/bsd.port.mk and would still be=20 backwards compatible. There'd have to be something similar for MLINKS=20 too of course. Other opinions? --nextPart12993466.vMBxBk8AN5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCmeAndMR2xnarec8RAtIEAJ45y6QWbxJyDr3NV88GbgzHHgYgxgCgg2UP DfhInoGKMdBRiNVbI1+7KWQ= =CIFx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart12993466.vMBxBk8AN5--
