I am finding files in /usr/local/share/man/man1 that were updated yesterday with others dating back to 2007. -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I don't have a /usr/local/share/man/ directory at all, and have 7300 files in /usr/local/man/man?/ , so I'd say /usr/local/man/ is the correct location :) -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
question on manpages/hier(7)
Where should site-specific, ie local, man pages live? For instance, I have: /usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz /usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3597 May 6 00:38 /usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3383 Dec 20 19:54 /usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz My understanding is that the older one is in the right place. The newer one is registered as belonging to php5.4-14 while the old one is orphaned. I learn from lsof that the file that is actually opened and displayed is this one: /usr/local/man/cat1/php.1.gz But that's in /usr/local/man, not /usr/local/share/man. So it's in /usr/local but why not in /usr/local/share? And it's orphaned. Should it be? I have just completed a several day cleanup of my local ports installation so I'm a little mystified at this. I also rebuilt my kernel and world so I should be up-to-date there too. -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
