The few ports doing this are special cases. OK, here we go, with the following changes to what Raymond sent: * Delete -static from LDFLAGS in the Makefile. I found no way to feed that in via the environment, so i patched the Makefile. * Polish the COMMENT. Saying just "generator" is not helpful because it doesn't say from which source format, and this is particularly relevant here because it uses an extremely unusual format that nothing else uses, so the claim "generator" is overly broad. Also make it clear that generating man pages actually means generating old 1979-style man(7) code. * Polish DESCR in the same vein. POSIX is irrelevant here; were are writing a decsription for OpenBSD. Obviously, this is only yet another low-quality man(7) generator (emitting pointless low-level roff(7) code, lots of bogus .P, incorrectly encoded dashes, using low-level font escapes rather than proper man(7) macros, failing to properly generate .MT and .UR, ... - and that's just from inspecting the thirty line file scdoc.1 itself) so using it certainly isn't encouraged. But given that some people use it anyway for documentating their software, i agree that a port is needed, even if only as a dependency for other, potentially more useful ports. OK? Ingo
