Thanks for your report. I've fixed it upstream in bzr revision 1289: Thu Dec 2 12:33:43 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson> * src/man.c (make_display_command): Don't start a pager if standard output is not a tty (Fedora bug #658132). * NEWS: Document this. Thanks Colin! Good monitoring! FYI, vim at least will work around the issue: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim.devel/29086 I presume Fedora will patch in your fix. There'll be a few conflicts in the patch (command_* -> pipecmd_* in more recent versions of man-db) but it should be easy enough to figure out. Whoever's doing this can give me a shout if they need a hand, of course. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/man-db/trunk/revision/1289 Oops - this caused test failures on its own. You'll need to backport revision 1291 as well. Sorry. Thanks, now the rawhide version (man-db-2.6.0.2-1) fixes this problem. |
