Actually, in systems that support it (Debian's slink has it
broken, Debian's potato has got it right), the cleanest way of
using /var/qmail/man that I know of is to just let the users
update their PATH variable and tell the mandb suite to map
/var/qmail/bin to /var/qmail/man, for purposes of manpages.
Here is an excerpt from my system's manpath.config:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
MANPATH_MAP /var/qmail/bin /var/qmail/man
MANDB_MAP /var/qmail/man /var/qmail/man
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Also, under Debian, the files with .0 extensions (catmans
built by Dan's make) are completely ignored by man.
Now, here is a question: is Debian broken in this respect?
