Responsible-Changed-By: remko 
Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Jul 2 19:02:31 UTC 2007 
Responsible-Changed-Why:  
This is a real problem with all stuff under specific subdirectories 
(/man4/i386 for example) since they are not 'man*' probably. I will try 
to investigate this before I will go on holiday but perhaps it will take 
a little to resolve this.

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback 
State-Changed-By: arundel 
State-Changed-When: Sat Nov 13 10:49:34 UTC 2010 
State-Changed-Why:  
Which files exactly are being installed into ARCH specific subdirectories in 
/usr/share/{man,cat}? I'm running HEAD on AMD64 and i don't see any files being 
installed into {man,cat}4/amd64 or {man,cat}8/amd64. If this is also the case 
for the other archs i suggest all ARCH specific subdirectories can be removed 
from mtree. 
However I checked the new man shell script's behavior regarding this issue and 
it doesn't look in any ARCH specific subdirectory for manual pages (not even the 
ARCH 'uname -m' reports).

State-Changed-By: arundel 
State-Changed-When: Sun Nov 14 13:20:30 UTC 2010 
State-Changed-Why:  
Feeedback received privately by Remko. In fact quite a few arch specific manual 
pages get installed (amd64 being an exception). The new man script comes with 
the -m switch, which lets people specify the arch and machine. Also two envars 
are being supported: $ARCH_MACHINE and $MACHINE. 
So e.g. running FreeBSD on amd64, users can do 'man -m i386:i386' or set the 
two envars previously mentioned to i386 in order to tell 'man' to look for 
i386 specific manual page directories.

Responsible-Changed-When: Thu Feb 24 13:40:03 UTC 2011 
Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Reassign to Gordon since his new man tool seems to fix this. This might 
be an MFC reminder, or can be closed if it is not going to be MFC'ed.

State-Changed-When: Mon Mar 21 17:39:40 PDT 2011 
State-Changed-Why:  
I don't have any intentions of MFC'ing the new man. I'm not sure what 
the bug is here. The GNU man also honors ARCH_MACHINE and MACHINE, but 
it could be this PR predates that change.
