NetBSD snips 10.0_BETA NetBSD 10.0_BETA (GENERIC) #0: Sun Oct 1 21:25:41 MSK 2023 uwe@majava:/home/uwe/work/netbsd/cvs/src-release-10/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC macppc
>Description:
Daily run invokes makemandb -Q, but despite -Q it still reports all
updated man pages:
Updating man page index:
makemandb: Trying to update index for /usr/pkg/man/man5/hgrc.5
makemandb: Trying to update index for /usr/pkg/man/man5/hgignore.5
makemandb: Trying to update index for /usr/pkg/man/man5/pkgconf-personality.5
...
That can run up to a few thousands man pages after a large pkgsrc update.
>How-To-Repeat:
You can trivially change some man page and run makemandb -Q. Observe
it reporting the update.
The messages comes from
warnx("Trying to update index for %s", rec->file_path);
in usr.sbin/makemandb/makemandb.c:1703 in insert_into_db
I don't know enough about makemandb to tell why this is a warning. Indexing updated man pages is its raison d'être.
