#35730 closed enhancement (fixed)

net-snmp port should install its manual files

Reported by: ajdudman Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.99
Keywords: haspatch Cc:
Port: net-snmp

Description

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.

I wonder if this patch fixes #35691.

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

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.

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.
