[gentoo-dev] doman problems

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I am creating an ebuild for a package and running ebuild 
packagexxx.ebuild install for testing.  I'm having a problem with doman. 
 The install goes well and the package man pages get installed in the 
image directory under usr/lib/packagename/man in the proper man1, man5 
directories.  These man pages that can be read by using less manpage.x.

As part of src_install I change to the proper directory 
(${D}/usr/lib/package/man/man1).  I then run doman *.1.  From what I see 
in the ebuild man pages and the doman function code this should place 
the gzipped man pages in ${D}/usr/share/man/man1.  However, this does 
not happen.  The man pages never show up in ${$D}/usr/share/man/man1. 
In fact I only have a ${D}/usr/share directory and no man directories. 
Man 5 ebuild says doman should create the necessary directories.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
