But if it does, I don't think the ports framework can handle it as there doesn't seem to be anyway to specify the compression format for manpages. What is the best solution to this? Should I just write a post-build target that will decompress it and recompress it as gz and just add bzip2 as a dependency or should I just include a gzipped version in the files directory? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
