RFE: install manuals and info pages of gcc43

[jochen@…]

Again, I believe that manuals are an integral part of software. Therefore, gcc43 should install them instead of deleting them.

Due to the conflict issues I propose to move them to a specific position, like this (untested due to missing computing resources, but it shows the idea):

 	xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/etc/select/gcc
 	xinstall -m 444 ${filespath}/mp-gcc43 ${destroot}${prefix}/etc/select/gcc/

It would be great if then gcc_select could provide the appropriate (selected) set in the standard place.

[jochen@…]

I attach a tested patch that installs the info pages and the Unic manuals to ${prefix}/share/gcc43. This does not cause any conflicts and at least the documentation can be used if someone (like me) wants to.

Please update the portfile accordingly.

[jochen@…]

When trying to attach the diff, I always get an internal error from the server. So here comes the patch inline:

[mww@…]

would you mind pasting a diff?

[jochen@…]

Well, there is a unified diff just above. It does three things:

1. Provide modeline according to the guide: ​http://guide.macports.org/#development.practices
2. Fix whitespace according to 1.
3. Change post-destroot in order to copy documentation as described above:

   -	file delete -force ${destroot}${prefix}/share/man/man7 \
   -		${destroot}${prefix}/share/info
   +    # move manuals to gcc43-specific directory
   +    xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/gcc43/man/man7
   +    xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/gcc43/info
   +    eval xinstall -m 0644 [glob ${destroot}${prefix}/share/man/man7/*] ${destroot}${prefix}/share/gcc43/man/man7
   +    eval xinstall -m 0644 [glob ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/*] ${destroot}${prefix}/share/gcc43/info
   

[mww@…]

ah, cool -- if you want to commit this youself (probably faster than waiting for me to do it), please inc. the revision!
