>Organization:
>Environment:
All FreeBSD systems
>Description:
When using the man(1) command after a "make installworld", man pages
get formatted again even if they didn't change and the corresponding
cat page was available already.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src/bin/ls && make install
man ls
cd /usr/src/bin/ls && make install
man ls
>Fix:
We could use the -C flag for installing manpages. The patches below
makes it possible to specify WANT_MAN_COMPARE in /etc/make.conf so
that man pages are installed using the -C option. If you don't put
WANT_MAN_COMPARE in /etc/make.conf the old behaviour is kept.
