+# Slackware change: commenting the stuff below out. We're not going to
+# generate a database during a package installation...  especially since
+# it appears that it only provides "whatis" services. The rest of the
+# manpage system works fine without it. So, people can wait until the
+# first time the cron job runs (or root can run it manually), just like
+# "locate" has been handled forever.
+
+## In English, the if/find below means "only run the database creation if
+## it was last done over an hour ago". This is needed because upgradepkg
+## runs doinst.sh twice, but I don't want the 10+ minute long database
+## creation to happen twice on upgrade (or at all, when I'm repeatedly
+## reinstalling man-db for testing purposes).

+## Generate the initial man database (or rebuild it if it exists).
+## We want to skip this step if installing somewhere besides / (e.g. with
+## the -root option or ROOT env variable set for installpkg), hence the

+#
+## The -c option means it blows away any existing db. I thought about
+## leaving it off (it will still create the db if it doesn't exist),
+## but decided it's better to build it fresh if the package gets
+## reinstalled (in case the db format has changed, or in case the
+## db is corrupted and the user is trying to fix it by reinstalling
+## this package).

+## the 2>/dev/null was added for 2.7.6 because it complains about
