#2474 closed defect (fixed)

man pages are gzipped during destroot phase; this is incompatible with jaguar (10.2.x)

Description

When issuing the man command I get a blank terminal with (END) at the bottom; followed by the message "zcat: /opt/local/man/cat1/xephem.1.gz: not in gzip format." I'm using the latest base on Mac OS X (10.2.6).

During the port destroot phase man pages are gzipped before they are installed. This is incompatible with Jaguar's out-of-box behavior of man. I found this reference in the acrchive: 'cvs commit: proj/darwinports/base/src/port Makefile' dated Sat Nov 9 11:59:56 PST 2002.

Robert, would you mind adding some if(os!=jaguar){} around the manpage-compression routines?

Thanks in advance! :)
