new here so not confident enough to submit any patches yet, but on
my fedora rawhide system, some notes on building the man page and PDF
docs.
* re: INSTALL file, on fedora, the package names are actually:
* docbook2x -> docbook2X
* docbook-utils -> docbook-utils-pdf
* re: Makefile and configure, command to generate man output:
* docbook2x-man -> db2x_docbook2man
* in doc directory, man page currently refers to "nftables" command,
shouldn't that be just "nft" (both filename and contents of
doc/nftables.xml).

Hi there!
Feel free to submit patches, but maybe this is an issue for Fedora
packagers to fix.
regards.

quite possibly some of it, but surely the "nftables.xml" file under
doc/ should be updated to reflect that the command is now "nft", not
"nftables", no?
anyway, i'll leave this in the hands of the powers-that-be on this
list.

In Debian, my plan is to provide the same man page both for 'nft' and
'nftables' (one being a symlink to the other).

In the docbook side, you could try to find a solution that covers
all/most-important distributions.
I would suggest to simply send patches so we can review your ideas.

ok, that sounds fine but, just for the record, the *official*
userspace command name is "nft", is it not? so linking to a man page
that purports to explain "nftables" is going to be a bit confusing.

i'll see what i can come up with that isn't distro-specific.

I have fixes for the build and an manpage update coming up. Will push during
the next couple of days.
