0) Problem: Some people have an additional link to the python man-page:
is the python footprint mismatch something I can fix or am I missing anything important?
NEW lrwxrwxrwx root/root usr/man/man1/python.1.gz -> python2.1.gz
1) the relevant part of Makefile.pre.in:
maninstall: altmaninstall
-rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man1/python2.1
(cd $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man1; $(LN) -s python$(VERSION).1 python2.1)
-rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man1/python.1
(cd $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man1; $(LN) -s python2.1 python.1)
2) after 'make install' we have the following chain of symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 juergen users 9 Apr 21 09:13 python.1 -> python2.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 juergen users 11 Apr 21 09:13 python2.1 -> python2.7.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 juergen users 14582 Apr 21 09:12 python2.7.1
3) the compress_manpages function of our pkgmk:
compress_manpages() {
local FILE DIR TARGET
cd $PKG
find . -type f -path "*/man/man*/*" | while read FILE; do
if [ "$FILE" = "${FILE%%.gz}" ]; then
gzip -9 "$FILE"
fi
done
find . -type l -path "*/man/man*/*" | while read FILE; do
TARGET=`readlink -n "$FILE"`
TARGET="${TARGET##*/}"
TARGET="${TARGET%%.gz}.gz"
rm -f "$FILE"
FILE="${FILE%%.gz}.gz"
DIR=`dirname "$FILE"`
if [ -e "$DIR/$TARGET" ]; then
ln -sf "$TARGET" "$FILE"
fi
done
}
4) How it works:
We search for real man-pages in $PKG and compress them, breaking all
symlinks to these man-pages, which we repair afterwards. Fixing is done by
adding a .gz extension to all targets of the symlinks.
However, we do a test if $TARGET exists before we do the actual link,
which is not the case if we have chained symlink and we do not process
in the right order.
For a "normal" collating we have the order python.1 before python2.1, so
python2.1.gz does not exits at the time we process python.1
qemu is now split into qemu with support for the x86 platform (both 32 and 64
bit and system and user emulation) and a qemu-all port that includes support
for all available platforms.
This was done to reduce build-time for the average user that will only use the
x86 emulation.
Please note, that both ports will kept in sync with regard to options and
versions and thus should be installed in a mutually exclusive fashion.
