X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2003 19:39:00 -0000 We have nice support for man pages in our ports build machinery in the form of MAN1, MAN2, and so forth. Given the not-too small number of ports which install .info files, wouldn't it be a good idea to have similiar infrastructure for them as well? (I am, unfortunately, not sufficiently experienced with our build framework to hack this myself, but certainly would help convert some ports.)
