0001747: manual page fails to pass through nroff(1) |
|
Description:
|
When you attempt to read the pkg-get(1) manual page using Sun\'s standard nroff(1), there is no output. This is due to the .DW and .DE macros at the top of the source file. if you eliminate these lines, the manual page will then format properly.
Apparently, these custom macros are an attempt to work around some nutty problem in groff(1). |
|
Steps To Reproduce:
|
cat pkg-config.1 | | tbl | nroff -h -man | col -x | less -s
There is no output. Delete the first 224 lines in the file and repeat. Everything is fine. |
|
Additional Information:
|
More work will have to be done to rectify all problems if support for nroff/troff/gnroff/groff is desired. |

A workaround is to pre-format the page with groff and package in man/cat - but if editing the page works do that.
See /opt/csw/man/cat1/groff.1. Trust the groff writers to not understand nroff :-)
Some people periodically purge (rm) man/cat or run catman -c so be careful, chmod -w is a hint. Machines are now so fast, have been for years, I never cache in cat. |

I have submitted a new package with the offending macros removed. |

I wasn't aware of this issue when I released an updated package and apparently the fix was not pushed upstream. |
