The file has the following line: MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man It would be nice to add MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man
BTW, is there a good reason for makewhatis to be run every night _and_ every weekend? > rpm -ql man /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron
As far as the cron entries, they are different: --- ../sources/makewhatis.crondaily Fri Apr 9 18:56:38 1999 +++ ../sources/makewhatis.cronweekly Fri Apr 9 18:55:35 1999 @@ -8,6 +8,6 @@ # happen is that they will temporarily corrupt the database... [ -f $LOCKFILE ] && exit 0 touch $LOCKFILE -makewhatis -u -w +makewhatis -w rm -f $LOCKFILE exit 0 The weekly one rebuilds the database, in correct order; the daily one adds new entries to the end of the database. /usr/local/sbin is added to MANPATH_MAP for 1.5g-3. This will not be an errata fix, but will be available in RawHide.
man-1.5g-3 is now built into RawHide, and will be available in the next RawHide release.
