# Slackware change: commenting the stuff below out. We're not going to
# generate a database during a package installation...  especially since
# it appears that it only provides "whatis" services. The rest of the
# manpage system works fine without it. So, people can wait until the
# first time the cron job runs (or root can run it manually), just like
# "locate" has been handled forever.

## In English, the if/find below means "only run the database creation if
## it was last done over an hour ago". This is needed because upgradepkg
## runs doinst.sh twice, but I don't want the 10+ minute long database
## creation to happen twice on upgrade (or at all, when I'm repeatedly
## reinstalling man-db for testing purposes).

#if  \
#  [ ! -e /var/cache/man/man-db ] || \

#then
## Generate the initial man database (or rebuild it if it exists).
## We want to skip this step if installing somewhere besides / (e.g. with
## the -root option or ROOT env variable set for installpkg), hence the
## readlink silliness.
#
## The -c option means it blows away any existing db. I thought about
## leaving it off (it will still create the db if it doesn't exist),
## but decided it's better to build it fresh if the package gets
## reinstalled (in case the db format has changed, or in case the
## db is corrupted and the user is trying to fix it by reinstalling
## this package).
#
## the 2>/dev/null was added for 2.7.6 because it complains about
## missing CACHEDIR.TAG files... which don't matter, because we've
## got NOCACHE in the config file.
