Hmm. I read the question as though the port has something that we'd want to stick into .../cat
/.
.gz In which case, to really DTRT, bsd.port.mk would have to be patched to add CATx functionality alongside the existing MANx stuff, and the port Makefile would then simply become, eg: CAT1= foo.1 In the meantime, I'd just treat the formatted manpage as just another file (ie: not special like source manpages), and add them in to pkg/PLIST. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
