brooks- i feel the same way too. i planned on using podselect to create separate man pages for gmond, gmetad, gstat, etc. there is just too much info in a single man page and the sections are not really in line with your typical man page.
i can drop the man page generation and go back to the old man pages until i get the podselect stuff up and running. -matt Today, Brooks Davis wrote forth saying... > From: Brooks Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: matt massie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: Ganglia Developers <ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net>, > Jim Prewett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 16:36:56 -0800 > Subject: Re: [Ganglia-developers] 2.5.5 > > On Wed, Nov 05, 2003 at 08:39:32PM -0800, matt massie wrote: > > i have moved all the documentation into perlpod format. you'll see it in > > a single file in ./ganglia.pod. docbook was overkill and i think it hurt > > the documenation process. perlpod is super simple and can be converted > > easily into almost any format (latex, pdf, html, man, info, etc). > > I'm OK with changing from DocBook to POD, at least if the system is > going to remain fairly simple, but I'm unhappy with the loss of the > existing manpages.
