You're right, it does build correctly in a clean chroot with pkgctl build, and it does not build with plain makepkg. I'm not sure what's going on there.

I can't reproduce on my side. Can you try to build in a clean chroot? Also the man page is correctly formatted:

$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/module.1.gz | head
.\" -*- mode: troff; coding: utf-8 -*-
.\" Automatically generated by Pod::Man v6.0.2 (Pod::Simple 3.45)

.if t .sp .5v
.if n .sp
..
.de Vb \" Begin verbatim text

I get this error with makepkg:

install: cannot stat '/tmp/lmod/pkg/lmod/usr/share/lmod/9.2/share/man/man1/module.1': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

I got it to work with this change:

% git diff

By the way, the man page formatting issue lahwaacz reported in 2023 appears to be back, but I assume that's just an upstream regression. My current workaround is just to use module --help instead of man module.

@lahwaacz, my mistake, should be fixed now.

@hcartiaux It does not work, build fails with The program "luac" must be in your path

Pkgrel bump, we stay on lua 5.4 for the moment.

@lahwaacz this is an upstream problem which can be fixed with a github PR. There's exactly the same issue in the EPEL package.

The package installs /usr/share/man/man1/module.1.gz which is not in the man format, but a (gzipped) plain-text file. This results in suboptimal formatting when viewed with the man utility from man-db:

mandoc can't even parse it and displays unreadable "binary data".
