Comment:
Arguably, the python 1.0 portgroup should be creating symlinks to the
port's manpages, just as it already creates symlinks to its binaries.
However changing it now would be difficult. If we fix this problem in the
python portgroup, then all existing ports that use the python portgroup
and install manpages would have to be audited: if they manually symlink
the manpages, that code would have to be removed; if they don't, their
revision would have to be increased to rebuild them with the new manpage
symlinks from the portgroup.
Another possibility is to introduce a new python 1.1 portgroup that has
this behavior, and then each port can opt into that behavior by switching
to that portgroup. After all ports have switched, the old python 1.0
portgroup can be deleted. However it would probably take years to switch
all ports.
