As a developer, I figure everyone can get asciidoc installed in order to build the manpages. If not...well if you can come up with a patch that still satisfies the above requirements, then I'll take it (some sort of patch that doesn't fail if targets in doc/ can't be built).
Ah, asciidoc. It's so cool once it's all built, but I always had problems getting it working. But I think that was on dreamhost and maybe perl related...
Thankfully, Dan has this in [community] so we need not be afeared!
Yeah. Let me know if things aren't working correctly. I could move asciidoc to extra but didn't see the need right now. The docbook-xsl package was broken for a bit, but seems to be working now. The big advantage this gives us is much more user-friendly editing of the manpages, much better HTML output (with linking between them), and the ability to do some macros and such that aren't from the 1970s. Now we just need someone to volunteer to keep these bad boys up to date. :) Patches always welcome. -Dan
