https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D236237 Bug ID: 236237 Summary: Port security/openssl polluted man page namespace Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: brnrd@freebsd.org Reporter: msl0000023508@gmail.com Assignee: brnrd@freebsd.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(brnrd@freebsd.org) Created attachment 202568 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D202568&action= =3Dedit Workaround I have port 'security/openssl' installed via pkg(8). One day I want to read= the man page for command md5(1) from the base system; I typed: $ man md5 but I got dgst(1) that describing the 'openssl dgst' command. The man page = file is '/usr/local/man/man1/md5.1.gz', a symbolic link to 'dgst.1.gz' in same directory. Since it is in section 1 too, I can't simply use a section numbe= r to solve this, but: $ man -M /usr/share/man md5 Considering it is a sub-command of the big openssl(1) command line tool, shouldn't it be named as openssl-dgst(1) and have that symbolic link named = as '/usr/local/man/man1/openssl-md5.1.gz' for openssl-md5(1)? Since there are also many other openssl man pages polluting the namespace i= n my system, I wrote a bash(1) script to clean this mess up for my myself. I attached this script here in case someone may interested in it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
