[CC += linux-man@]

Hi Boris,

I realized the mailing list wasn't CCd.  I've added it to CC now.

Bash and make

Hummm.  I don't see why it would fail on bash and (assuming GNU) make.
Especially if previous versions of man-pages releases worked well.

Hi Alex,

I'm on Funtoo.

I've also added Sam James to CC, in case he knows anything.

Hello Alejandro,

I see here a problem with the man-page-6.10. If I call make I get the
following error
I downloaded the package from
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-6.10.tar.xz
I don't see the problem with the earlier version e.g. 6.9, 6.9.1.

'''
  ╰ $ pwd
/home/user/src/man-pages-6.10
  ╰ $ make
/home/user/src/man-pages-6.10/share/mk/src/sh.mk:16: *** unterminated call

Hmmm, I can't reproduce the problem.  Could you please run the following
commands?  Also, could you detail what's your shell, and what's your
make(1), and what's your OS?  Let's see if we can learn why that's
happening.

alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ wget https://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-6.10.tar.gz >/dev/null 2>&1
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ ls
man-pages-6.10.tar.gz
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ tar xf man-pages-6.10.tar.gz
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ rm man-pages-6.10.tar.gz
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ ls
man-pages-6.10
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo$ cd man-pages-6.10/
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo/man-pages-6.10$ make | wc -l; echo $?
2965
0
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo/man-pages-6.10$ make
alx@devuan:~/tmp/foo/man-pages-6.10$

Can you run exactly these commands?  I'm puzzled.


Have a lovely night!
Alex
