Subject: [ruby-core:41263] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5598] man pages are in mdoc format


Issue #5598 has been updated by George Koehler.

File p-mantype.diff added

Ruby should use its tool/mdoc2man.rb to convert mdoc format to man format. This is broken because some targets in Makefile forgot to pass --mantype="$(MANTYPE)" to INSTRUBY (tools/rbinstall.rb). Now `make install' and `make install-all' ignore MANTYPE and always install mdoc format.

I attached a quick patch. It moves --mantype="$(MANTYPE)" into INSTRUBY_ARGS, so every install target always passes MANTYPE.

Bug #5598: man pages are in mdoc format

Unfortunately, the ruby man pages are in mdoc format (as detected by grog).
The Solaris man/nroff commands cannot deal with that format, rendering the man
pages effectively useless.

Please provide them using only man macros instead so they are universally
useful.
