[PATCH 1/2] Asciidoc: add it

[Dengke Du]

In order to enable perf man pages for basic 'help' functionality,
it needs to produce man pages for perf, which depends on the xmlto
and asciidoc tools.
So add the asciidoc recipe to help produce man pages for perf and
other commands.

[PATCH 2/2] perf: enable man pages for 'help' functionality

[Dengke Du]

When using 'perf help <subcommand>', it can't find 'man' command and pages for
perf.
The perf man pages depends on the xmlto-native and asciidoc-native, so we just
need to add the two packages to the DEPENDS variable and add 'man'to
RDEPENDS_perf-doc.

Looks good .

I was under the impression that asciidoc was larger but it's just
  ~ 900KB plus it's all python so it's not going to add to the system
build time directly.

How much longer does it take to build perf?

Did you test for python3 only?

Hi Randy

1.  I have checked the asciidoc-native: 3.1M

2.  real    4m41.858s
      user    27m3.280s
      sys    6m32.372s

3.  Yes, the build system using python3.

Whilst I like the idea of supporting more documentation, and have long
wanted to integrate doxygen/gtk-doc/etc into Yocto for building SDKs with
API documentation, I'm not sure we should be making random packages depend
on tooling to always generate documentation.

What do people think of a distro feature / global environment variable for
"recipe should build the documentation"?  For perf this would mean adding
asciidoc so it can build the man pages, for GLib it would mean depending on
gtk-doc so the API docs can be generated, and so on.  But if they're not
needed then they can be disabled to improve build speeds.

Re: [PATCH 0/2] perf: enable man pages for 'help' functionality

[Randy MacLeod]

As Ross asked in a separate reply, we should discuss
the pros and cons of making the host-based generation of docs
be optional. I think that's the way to go since, in the common case
of not enabling docs, the builds would be faster and the output smaller.

Those numbers, on their own, are not useful.

How long does it take to build another native package on your system?
What's the overall time  and time difference to build an image without
and then with asciidoc and perf (and maybe ccache, git, trace-cmd)
docs being generated? Alternatively just make the generation of docs
be optional and then the time isn't a critical concern.

You should follow-up, ***later*** by enabling doc generation for:

     ccache: 3.2.4 -> 3.2.5

     Add Revert-Create-man-page-in-the-make-install-from-git-.patch to
     disable asciidoc since we don't have it.

     git: expand recipe to take advantage of pre-gen'd manpages

     These could be created from scratch from git itself, but it
     requires asciidoc, xsltproc, python bits and too much other
     baggage.  Since the git folks issue a tarball with the manpages
     for each release, it is simpler to just go get that.

so what about python2? Does asciidoc require a specific major version
of python?

I like the idea. I've had a similar one in mind for a while now as it
would be a nice feature to be able to provide the documentation for an
image as an output of the system.

Hi Randy & Ross

1. After my test, python2 & python3 works well.
2. I will follow-up the packages docs related to the asciidoc and work 
on the
     generation of docs, let it be optional.
