Geomview man page woes

2010-12-11 Thread patsy
Hello list,

Attached is my current port of geomview - it's functionally unchanged
from the previous port.

I'm having a slight problem with the man pages though. Geomview is
adamant that their extension should be .Ngv (N == section). The man
command doesn't find such files, however, if I rename them to .N all is
well.

Is there a precedent for dealing with this? It looks as though editing
/etc/man.conf would work, but it seems...messy. I tried to look at the
FreeBSD port, but FreeBSD seems quite happy with the .Ngv extension.

It works on what was -current/amd64 about a week ago (and has been
working consistently on -current/amd64's since my original submission.


Any advice would be appreciated.

Patsy

So, have the Makefile rename them after the fake-install stage.

Please send ports to ports@, not m...@.
