Is there a way to include pregenerated man pages with git archive?
A
No, git archive only considers what's in the git tree. Is there a reason we're determined to pre-generate the manpages instead of just adding makedepends on ascididoc?
I think providing prebuilt man pages is more important now we require python3 for testing given asciidoc requires python2.
Maybe by the time we fully commit to meson, this will be ready for public release: https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3 In fact, currently, Fedora uses it -- though via some sort of nonexistent tag or something. :/
Also, most projects ship prebuilt man pages. I think some GNU ones commit the built page to the tree, so that could be an option.
Both those things are also true about the configure and Makefile.in files... -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
