Yes, that's it! The man page gets installed in ${MANDIR}${SECTION} is why this work; it knows the SECTION is 8. Duh. BTW, should this program go in ${PREFIX}/bin or ${PREFIX}/sbin? I guess since it's supposed to be a "secure rm" bin is the correct place. > MAN8 should be in both Makefiles, with > MANCOMPRESSED=yes set in the port Makefile as someone else suggested so > the installation procedure doesn't try to compress them when they are > already compressed. That didn't appear to do anything the first time, but now that I've done it CORRECTLY it seems to work like a charm. Stick it with a fork, it's DONE. I can make; make install; make deinstall; make reinstall; make clean and have nothing puke. Now maybe I can get off my butt and make port kits for a couple of other things I have lying about. Thanks, guys, as usual you've burned through the fog quickly. I'd have been done even quicker, but I spent last night and today doing REAL construction work on my new office, so I can dedicate more time to hacking FreeBSD once winter gets here. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
