Hi Frank,
The main pb is that this way, each man page must exist in each language. Here is
an example :
MANLANG= "" de es fr hu
MAN1+= amulecmd.1
MAN1+= amuleweb.1
Here, you will automatically get this list of files "added" to pkg-plist :
man/man1/amulecmd.1
man/man1/amuleweb.1
man/de/man1/amulecmd.1
man/de/man1/amuleweb.1
man/es/man1/amulecmd.1
man/es/man1/amuleweb.1
man/fr/man1/amulecmd.1
man/fr/man1/amuleweb.1
man/hu/man1/amulecmd.1
man/hu/man1/amuleweb.1
But, what if hu doesn't provide amulecmd.1 ??? I get errors when deinstalling
the port... Is there any way to manage this ?
