Patch for perl man page location

RT Developers
1

I noticed that the man pages for the RT perl modules are going into the
site perl installation. I believe it to be appropriate to keep the man
pages in the same tree as the modules themselves. Below is a patch to the
Makefile to accomplish placing the man pages in the RT tree.

RT_MAN_PATH = $(RT_PATH)/man/man3
243a245
mkdir -p $(RT_MAN_PATH)
253c255
< $(PERL) Makefile.PL LIB=$(RT_LIB_PATH)
$(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=$(RT_LIB_PATH)
INSTALLMAN3DIR=$(RT_MAN_PATH) \

I forgot to mention, I made the changes based upon the 1.3.99 CVS
snapshot.

I also agree with this and requested that it be changed also. I made a similar
fix for our installation, as I did not want the man pages going into the Perl
site install. Here is a patch file relative to the 1.3.99 release.

This is scary. I’m imagining tracerouting you and seeing links like “Route
84” and “Route 9, Exit 14”. Obviously, this is illness induced.
