Thanks, I'll make the suggested changes.

Adding "9 mk man" would require "9" to be installed and available already.

I tried adding the following:

# Build man pages
export PLAN9="$pkgdir/usr/lib/plan9"
export PATH="$PLAN9/bin:/usr/bin"
cd "$pkgdir/usr/lib/plan9/dist"
9 mk man

But the result was hundreds of lines of: "usage: file [-m] [file...]"

Suggestions for how to best add this are welcome.

Oops, I didn't think about that :)
I think the problem is that bin/9 hardcodes the PLAN9 dir (i.e. it does not use pkgdir internally).
So the building of HTML manuals should probably be done post_install and post_upgrade or left to the user to do.

I'll see if I can make it work in post_upgrade/post_install.

I just built plan9port on my machine and realized that the HTML manuals are actually built by INSTALL, and so already in the package.
I'm really very sorry :(
I must have misread the man page, or it's outdated.

No worries! Thanks for caring about the plan9port package. Please let me know if there should be other issues with the plan9port package in the future, and I'll try to fix them.
