Subject: regenerating man pages
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:40:49 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55085911.9060800@redhat.com> (raw)
I had a question about the way that we're handling man pages.
In 356a749f63181d401d16371446bb8dc4f196c2a6 , "rbd: regenerate rbd(8)
man page", it looks like man/rbd.8 was regenerated from doc/man/8/rbd.rst
It seems like it would be more efficient to avoid storing man pages in
Git and generate them dynamically at build time instead?
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/admin/manpage-howto.txt
"admin/build-doc" does a lot of things (including man page generation).
Could we simply run the "sphinx-build -b man" part at build time as a
part of "make"?
Just trying to understand what's intentional, whether I'm missing
something, etc.
