Ticket #18227 (closed defect: fixed)

Opened 4 years ago

Last modified 4 years ago

findutils +with_default_names creates broken man page symlinks

Reported by: swinbank@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.0
Keywords: Cc: ryandesign@…, nox@…
Port: findutils

Description

This seems to be the same problem as #15864 but affecting findutils, rather than coreutils. 

$ ls -l /opt/local/man/man1/find.1 
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 33 2008-12-24 18:06 /opt/local/man/man1/find.1 -> /opt/local/share/man/man1/gfind.1
$ ls -l /opt/local/man/man1/gfind.1*
-r--r--r-- 2 root admin 19339 2008-10-30 12:18 /opt/local/man/man1/gfind.1.gz

I don't see the same issue with the current coreutils port.

The underlying cause is explained in #18302. You can fix this for findutils by having it make relative manpage symlinks instead of absolute ones.

I'm not diffutils maintainer.

This ticket is not for diffutils but for findutils, of which you are the maintainer. But since it's openmaintainer I fixed it in r48802, similar to how you fixed coreutils in r46259.
