Is there a preferred method in oe-core for dealing with man pages
that conflict due to differences in multilib pathing.

For example an application lives in /usr/lib/foo/bar for one abi but
/usr/lib64/foo/bar in another, and
that kind of information is encoded in to the man pages.

Some things i have seen done in the past, is move the man pages
under
/user/share/man/${PN} or
use something like mutlilib script to deal with it.

I am just curious if there is a canned, preferred way the project
handles those or wants to handle them?

xinit, xserver-org, and groff each exhibit  these issues.
Could we just put a placeholder into the man page so they'd be
identical? Multiple copies seems like overkill for something as
trivial...

Yeah, that works as well. Just need to brush up on my man-page-fu.


Cheers,

Richard
