1 Hi all,
2
3 I stumbled about a problem with alternatives.eclass when fixing a user
4 submitted bug report about missing man page symlinks. The new
5 ecompress allows compression of manpages in bz2, if I am right. So now
6 ebuilds as dev-lang/python have a hard coded compression extension for
7 alternatives_auto_makesym. emacs-cvs now has a regex to determine the
8 correct extension to set a working symlink. Shouldn't that be handled
9 by alternatives.eclass?
10
11 alternatives_auto_makesym "/usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz" \
12 "python[0-9].[0-9].1.gz"
13
14 V-Li
