Could the relationship be clarified in the description?That's fair. How does this revised description sound? "Excerpts from the POSIX.1-2008 and TC1 standards (collectively, POSIX.1-2013) in manual page form. While the Linux man-pages project documents the system as it exists, this package documents the portable software API nominally implemented by many unix-likes."
'as it exists' -> 'as it exists on Linux- and glibc-based systems', as we also support the Hurd.
Otherwise looks good to me.
Right, there's a #:test-target but not #:make-target.Also, IIRC there's a #:make-target and #:parallel-build? #falseThere is a #:parallel-build? #f, but no #:make-target field, as far as I could tell. Though, the build phase doesn't explicitly target all, so it would be possible to provide the gz target through #:make-flags.
I think we could do #:make-flags "gz" for now, extending the regex to [023]p is more of a long-term thing (while a simple change, it would cause many rebuilds and hence needs to be done on core-updates).But, also, all the build phase does is compress the manpages, which could entirely be done by the compress-documentation phase with some edits done to it; at the moment, its regex for detecting manpages doesn't take into account the [023]p format of this package's manpages. Thoughts?
