When an admin installs git site-wide, e.g. to /usr/local, perl's makemaker decides to use 'site' mode (as opposed to distro or user mode). For whatever reason, it then installs all perl-related manpages (those in section 3) to .../man, while the rest of git happily installs manpages to .../share/man. In as such, this is different from the patch proposed in this thread: http://marc.info/?t=117862141100003&r=1&w=2 My patch should only ever affect site installs and does not cause installations to $HOME to go to $HOME/share/... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
