zshparam.1 says that setting manpath will change MANPATH and vice versa.
If I change MANPATH, I don't see manpath getting changed.
Worse, I used to set MANPATH in .zshenv. This results in manpath being empty.
If I then do
man <Tab>
the competion system seems to be saying "hey, manpath is empty so let's set
both it and MANPATH to a default value". Result : my original MANPATH setting
is trashed.
I've had to set up manpath instead of MANPATH now in my .zshenv, which means
that I can't go back to v3.1.5 conveniently.
Conversely, it looks like setting PATH changes the value of path. I haven't
tried assigning to path to see if it changes PATH.
Is the functionality to change manpath when MANPATH is modified missing? I'd
really like to continue setting MANPATH if I can.
Thanks
Richard
