sge-base.xml inserts SGE manpath to an obsoleted /etc/man.config #2
Description
On Rocks 7, the SGE man pages are missing after the deployment from both frontend, login and compute node.
In sge-base.xml, there is:
<file name="/etc/man.config" mode="append"> MANPATH /opt/gridengine/man </file>
Note that man.config is used by man package in CentOS6, which has been replaced by man-db in CentOS7.
man-db does not use man.config anymore, it reads from /etc/man_db.conf:
`$ yum provides /etc/man.config
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
No matches found
$ yum provides /etc/man_db.conf

man-db-2.6.3-9.el7.x86_64 : Tools for searching and reading man pages
Repo : Rocks-7.0
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/man_db.conf
man-db-2.6.3-9.el7.x86_64 : Tools for searching and reading man pages
Repo : @anaconda/7.0
Matched from:
Filename : /etc/man_db.conf`
To FIX this is relatively straight forward, I have added this line to man_db.conf and SGE man pages can be found again:
MANDATORY_MANPATH /opt/gridengine/man
Also note that this issue does not happen just to SGE, every roll which drops a line to man.config should be fixed:
# cat /etc/man.config MANPATH /opt/rocks/man MANPATH /opt/tripwire/man MANPATH /opt/gridengine/man MANPATH /usr/java/latest/man MANPATH /opt/ganglia/man MANPATH /opt/openmpi/share/man MANPATH /opt/mpich3/gnu/man
