This could be used as a ditto mark if you had a number of <source, target> tuples where <source> was always the same. Now a symlink to a literal file "-" is created. See ports/devel/libevent for an example port that uses this. Since the code to handle "-" is still there in the __pmlinks assignment, I assume this is a bug rather than an intentional change. >How-To-Repeat: Install ports/devel/libevent. $ ls -l /usr/local/man/man3/event_dispatch.3* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Dec 28 20:59 /usr/local/man/man3/event_dispatch.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
