[Bug 2885] New: spamc.1 is not built correctly
|
|
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2885
Summary: spamc.1 is not built correctly
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.61
Platform: All
OS/Version: OpenBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Building & Packaging
AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev [at] incubator
ReportedBy: greg [at] wooledge
On OpenBSD 3.3 and above (perl 5.8), all versions of spamassassin that I've
tested install an "empty" (comes up blank when read, and causes an error message
to be generated during a weekly system cron job) spamc.1 man page to bc created.
This used to work under OpenBSD 3.2 (perl 5.6). Tested versions of
spamassassin were 2.53, 2.60 and 2.61.
(Diagnosis done by jmc at acn.waw.pl.)
I really think you have a problem with spamassassin and not OpenBSD/perl.
You will probably get better help from spamassassin people. perl is only
doing what it's told - generate a man page from an empty file (in this case
"spamd/spamc$(EXE_EXT)".
The obvious workaround is to generate spamc.1 by hand after you install
spamassassin. i.e.
pod2man spamc.pod > spamc.1
and copying it to /usr/local/man/man1 (or wherever).
The problem seems to be that the (empty) suffix $(EXT_EXE) is being used
for both the spamc executable and man page. Since the suffix is empty,
perl is effectively doing
pod2man spamc > spamc.1
which generates the nroff macros, but doesn't include the .pod file. For
example, I can get the man page installed ok if I change the perl
generated makefile like this:
