[PATCH 0/4] Build man pages in $(srcdir).


From: Mathieu Lirzin
Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Build man pages in $(srcdir).
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 17:18:02 +0100

This is an alternative to commit 97966e6d65bd3d450f12c7bb41af5f9eafd35a60.

The problem solved by this commit was that doc/guix.1 was still generated by
'help2man' when doing a VPATH build from a tarball.  It is still not clear to
me why this problem was happening.  My guess is that this was related to the
$(sub_commands_mans) variable behind composed of generated files which were
confusing Make in a weird way.

Anyway, inspired by what is done by Automake for info manuals I have tried to
build man pages in $(srcdir), which is fixing the issue too.  The bonus is
that now all the documentation is consistently built in $(srcdir) and that we
avoid adding another "case $? ..." trick.

Mathieu Lirzin (4):
  Revert "build: Do not remake doc/guix.1."
  build: Make 'guix' man page depend on scripts/guix.in.
  build: Build man pages in $(srcdir).
  build: Rewrite comments for man pages.
