Don't know how to install documentation
Following the changes to the build system that got merged in earlier this year, it's no longer obvious (or documented, as far as I can tell) how to either build or install documentation.
The procedure that used to work for 6.10 was make install-docs
, but the Makefile
s in the docs
and docs/man
directories have bit-rotted, and the install-docs
target has vanished from the top-level Makefile
too.
If I knew how to build the documentation, I'd send in a patch, as I think it's important that this be fixed before 6.12.1 goes final, so that platform packagers like myself can figure out how to easily build and install the documentation. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure what needs fixing in the new build world.
