mdocml port submission

[alex_a_bordeaux@…]

I currently use mldocml (the groff replacement currently used at OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc.) to generate man pages for some project and would love to see it added to macports.

some remarks wrt. the joined files

• make install would normally include man pages for roff at it is really a groff-Replacement, but here I only want to install mdocml in addition to the installed GNU roff
• I am not sure whether $(PREFIX)/share/examples/mandoc is the right place for the example css file
• I set the PREFIX hard in the Makefile by the diff joined to this post; maybe it would be better to use an environment variable

You should set the prefix to "@PREFIX@" in the patch, then in the post-patch phase, use reinplace to replace that with the current value of the ${prefix} variable. (The user might have MacPorts installed in a different place than /opt/local.)

Hi, a friend pushed me to look at this... First, 1.9.x is really old: please use the newest version unless you want bugs (another is coming out in a few days) (NB, I'm mandoc's author). Second, please ask around on the discuss@ list if you have questions, as all the other downstream maintainers and porters (OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) hang out there. Ideally, I like to accomodate as much as I can for downstream people, so please notify us of any changes...

Thanks!

(quick and a little bit dirty makefile hack)

1.9.x is the version of MacPorts not mldoc ;-) the new Portfile uses version 1.10.5 of mldoc...

thanks for your offer, i will certainly take a look at the solution of the other downstream maintainers asap.
