Hello,
The man pages are currently not being actively maintained by anyone, so
we would like to make including them in the build optional. Oracle
produced builds will disable inclusion of man pages. (This was already
the case for OracleJDK builds but will now also be true for Oracle
produced OpenJDK builds)
The patch adds a configure parameter
--enable-manpages/--disable-manpages, default is enabled, just like
before the change. The patch also changes the Oracle configuration in
jib-profiles.js to disable manpages.
