net-snmp port should install its manual files

[ajdudman]

Port net-snmp should install its manual files, but does not due to bug in man/Makefile.in. My patch to this file fixes the manual file build and install rules and now by default 'make install' installs them.

patch makefile rules to build and install manual files by default

I wonder if this patch fixes #35691.

Have you already submitted this patch to the developers of net-snmp?

[ajdudman]

Yes this fixes #35691. Sorry, either I missed that ticket, or I did not search late enough, as it is just 3 days old.

I have not submitted this patch upstream. I browsed the online git repository to see the developers current work for man/Makefile.in, and they have disabled MAN3 line in the maninstall target's rule.

I searched the snmp bug and patch tracker at sourceforge.net, and I found nothing appropriate to macports's tickets #35691 and #35730.

Sorry, wrong bug

I have not applied this patch, but the problem did get resolved at some point, right? net-snmp @5.7.3 does install manpages:

$ port -q installed net-snmp
  net-snmp @5.7.3_0+ssl+universal (active)
$ port -q contents net-snmp | grep /man/ | head

Yes I agree. Speaking about the upstream source, the man page installation problem was present in version 5.7.2, but is now fixed in version 5.7.3. The Macports patch I attached to this ticket should no longer be applied.
