[Refdb-devel] CVS: strange script happenings

[David Nebauer]

Hi Markus,

Some weird things are occurring on my machine with scripts in the
current cvs build process.

The build does not install a manpage for 'refdb-ms', although it
installs the script itself.

On the other hand, the manpages for 'refdb-backup' and 'refdb-restore'
*are* installed, while the scripts themselves are *not*.

I'm guessing the backup and restore scripts miss out because they are
not included in the relevant makefile variables, e.g. 'client_scripts'.

I'm more unclear when it comes to the 'refdb-ms' manpage. The relevant
manpage infrastructure appears to be in place: the 'refdb-ms.1.in' file
is present, as are the appropriate entries in '/man/Makefile.am'.

Does the same thing happen on your BSD box? If so, how do we fix it?

Regards,
David.

I cannot verify this. I've removed /usr/local/man/man1/refdb-ms.1 and
ran "gmake install" in man/. This installed the file properly.

This is correct. My bad. I'll fix configure.in to include these
scripts.

There must be a simple explanation. Is the file refdb-ms.1 built at
all? Do you get any spurious warnings or error messages during
building or installing?
