Why? In general, if a major change is needed when updating a port, it is useful to mention the reason. 2. Isn't that a blocker? For a programming library, having section 3 documentation seems crucial to me. What is the point of an undocumented public API? Yes, i am aware that lapack is among the last 20 or so ports that require USE_GROFF, and among the worst handful of these because the man(7) code is both unusually problematic from a qualitative standpoint (.ti nested inside .TP head, ...) and also hard to handle from a perspective of quantity - the library is so large that even reviewing the manual pages regarding which problems are contained in them isn't easy. But none of that should be your problem, nor should it prevent formatting the manual pages with groff and installing them. Yours, Ingo
