Description

Man pages in "share/man" are "generated with Ronn/v0.7.3" but their sources are missing.

History

#1 Updated by Javi Fontan almost 6 years ago

The source for man pages is the command help. That is, calling the command with --help. For example:

$ onevm --help > onevm.1.ronn
$ ronn --style toc onevm.1.ronn

ronn command can be installed with rubygems:

$ gem install ronn

Thank you. Any ideas how can I (re-)build all man pages on build time?

#3 Updated by Dmitry Smirnov almost 6 years ago

Perhaps it might be a good idea to remove "generated" headers so those man pages could be improved without risk of loosing changes...

#4 Updated by OpenNebula Systems Support Team almost 6 years ago

Currently the man pages are regenerated manually for each new version. This is done like this as there is not an easy way to do it and to not add extra build dependencies (ronn and help2man).
