Huh?!?
Ruslan's commit was intended to remove (most of the) MAN8= definitions
in certain Makefiles. That's great.
Unfortunately, in some cases, he also removed SRCS= definitions, which is
not so good inasmuch as it breaks buildworld. Either he deleted too
much out of the Makefiles, or the SRCS= removal was intentional and
should have been documented in the commit message (as far as I can tell
this has *nothing* to do with manpages).
Michael's patch (which unbreaks buildworld) only backs out the SRCS=
changes.
Feel free to hand me a giant clue if I'm missing something really
obvious. In other words, is world *supposed* to build in the absence of
SRCS= definitions?
