Running what I *thought* was the same sed command in the Makefile
of the port doesn't solve the problem of the formatting of the man
pages, but it doesn't generate any errors either:
@${SED} -e '/man\.macros/r man.macros' -e '/man\.macros/d'
${WRKSRC}/doc/${f} \
> ${WRKDIR}/${f}
Can someone explain what the sed command is doing? The man page
isn't much help.
In the 1st part, sed sends the output of file 'man.macros' to
standard out if it exists (otherwise no worries) when sed sees the
'man\.macros' pattern.
And the 2d part, just deletes that pattern.
There in the sed(1) man page all is. Or, line by line try this ...
rm -f q ; echo polka > p
{ echo p ; echo q; echo p; } | sed -e '/p/r p' -e '/p/d'
{ echo p ; echo q; echo p; } | sed -e '/p/r q' -e '/p/d'
Thanks! That was the answer. I had to fiddle with it for a while before I
understood what it was doing, but it does exactly what I need it to do now.
