We will have to either look that over, or add the pre-compiled manpages (and ignore the policy that everything should be compiled during building) or deviate from upstream in conver‐ ting manpages or add a fragile home-grown script to convert them during the build (with the chance of breaking, although I’d be willing to fix/ update it as needed)… or “convince” upstream to switch to that although since they refused to do that, “convincing” might need undue force… bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
