Description Osmo Salomaa 2010-06-05 15:53:29 UTC 
From NetBSD's Thomas Klausner:

For pkgsrc, I'm currently patching gaupol to install into
${PKGMANDIR}/man. The value for PKGMANDIR varies depending on the
platform pkgsrc is running on, either share/man or man.

Could you please add an installation flag so the proper path can be
passed as argument?

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

I added it as a global option, so it needs to be placed before any commands. For example

    ./setup.py --mandir $PKGMANDIR install ...

See './setup.py --help' for the help message.

    Add --mandir global option to setup.py.
    
    Allows installation of man pages to locations other than the default
    'share/man'. Fixes #620665.
