  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 Both Tiger and Leopard should find man pages under our installation prefix
 just fine if the `$PATH` variable already contains the path to our
 binaries, which is something we already take care of in the
 `base/portmgr/dmg/postflight` script. The only platform in which we would
 probably have to do something is Panther, but, for one, we don't actively
 support that platform any longer and, last but not least, it's getting
 increasingly difficult coming by someone with a Panther box to do some
 testing.

 Therefore I'm closing this ticket as invalid. If someone with a Panther
 box wants to suggest an enhancement to `base/portmgr/dmg/postflight` to
 easily find our man pages there, then I'd be happy to accept it provided
 it doesn't break anything for Leopard & Tiger.
