Doing some more reading and looking at the helper function code and I have some questions.

doman will install to whatever DESTDIR is set to by into. So if my files are in ${D}/usr/lib/${PN}/man/manx then as long as I set into /usr/share my files will end up in the proper man directory under /usr/share/man and they will be compressed and ready to go - correct?

prepallman expects the files in /usr/share/man subdirectories already and it just compresse them all.

You commented that doman is usually for stuff outside ${D}. Since the make install for this package puts the files in ${D}/usr/lib/${PN}/man/manx is there any reason not to use doman to move them to the proper place and compress them - even though I'm inside ${D}?

Thanks.

since the manpages are already in /usr/share/man/ use `prepallman`
