# The installation of manual pages (manpages) can be handled very flexibly
# with pkgsrc, and is therefore quite complex.
#
# XXX: Why do we need this complexity?
#
# TODO: Document all the pkgsrc magic that concerns manpages.
#
# TODO: Change pkgsrc so that this documentation is correct.
#
# TODO: How should manpages be specified in the PLIST?
#
# TODO: What happens if a package installs more or fewer than the requested
# manpages?
#
# User-settable variables:
#
# PKGMANDIR
# (See mk/defaults/mk.conf)
#
# Other variables:
#
# MANINSTALL
# A list of installation types for manpages. Can contain one or more
# of the following:
#
# * catinstall: Preformatted manpages are installed in
# ${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}/cat*.
#
# * maninstall: Unformatted manpages are installed in
# ${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}/man*.
#
# If this list is empty, no manpages are installed at all.
