thanks for having a look Paul, odd you had that problem. on my laptop, (of course), it packaged fine, i also got a friend who also has i386 and a newer snapshot than mine that was able to package and repackage. i do however have an older compaq armada m700 unit with a snapshot from about a week ago that had that same issue, it seemed like the ports frame- work was deleting the manpages before they were packaged. since it worked on my old snapshot and also my friends newer snapshot i figured that was just an issue with that particular snapshot, maybe not however. i'm currently installing a brand new snapshot on that older laptop to retest and i'll look into that situation if it still occurs. > The binary runs with the Shareware Doom 1.9 WAD file (I'll have to > locate my original doom CD somehow to further test your port) on my > amd64 VM.
