Details

The current implementation has the manpages directories hard-coded. A more configurable option would be nice (like DOC_DIRS). In fact, I already need that for a package that install manpages in a non-standard place (See devkitppc on AUR. It install manpages in /opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/man).

I've already sent a patch to pacman-dev.

Thanks for the bump on this patch. It seems to have been lost during the break the main devs had after the last pacman release.

I am in favour of this patch but have a concern about the renaming of zipman to zipdoc. The documents refered to in "zipdoc" are different from the documents refered to in the "docs" option. I would prefer to keep this called "zipman" for zip manuals.

If others agree, I will make the changes and pull this to my working branch.

And an additional patch which stops this compressing every single file if MAN_DIRS is not set:
