            Bug ID: 221349
           Summary: When COMPRESS_EXT is anything other than .gz, plist
                    may break
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mi at ALDAN.algebra.com
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

I set COMPRESS_CMD to "xz -9c" on my system and, correspondingly, COMPRESS_EXT
-- to ".xz".

Things under src/ rebuilt nicely, as expected. Most things under ports/ seem to
ignore the setting, which is mildly disappointing, but acceptable.

The ports-mgmt/portupgrade, however, tries to observe it, but fails:

The logic handling man-page extensions in bsd.ports.mk (and elsewhere?) needs
fixing -- it seems to consider only .gz as the only valid extension for
man-pages, which just is not correct any more. Even on 10.x man(1) is perfectly
capable of handling xz-compressed texts...
