I was looking at the new COMPRESS_MAN macro. It's use will look like:
post-install:
${COMPRESS_MAN} \
${PREFIX}/man/man1/foo.1 \
${PREFIX}/man/man5/bar.5
I was thinking maybe compressing the man pages could like more like they
way we do distfiles and patchfiles:
MANPAGES+= man/man1/foo.1 \
man/man5/bar.5
And have bsd.port.mk deal with the details. Here is a patch that would
do this:
--- bsd.port.mk Sat Nov 2 08:06:22 1996
+++ bsd.port.mk.deo Sat Nov 2 19:40:13 1996

Thoughts?
