#19343: openssl: man page names conflict with system man page names
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Reporter: aetherknight@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs
Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: openssl man | Port: openssl
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
The openssl package installs several man pages in man section 1 whose
names overlap with various standard Mac OS X commands, such as passwd.
This causes commands such as {{{man passwd}}} to display the man page for
{{{openssl passwd}}} instead of the {{{passwd}}} user account password
changing utility, if man has been configured to search in
/opt/local/share/man before searching in the normal man locations.
Some Linux distributions deal with this by renaming the openssl man
section 1 pages to ssl-name or openssl-name, such as
[http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-
libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.8k.ebuild?view=markup Gentoo]. (look in the
src_install() method).
Could MacPorts' openssl port do something similar?
