Hi all: Currently maintaining the manpages in mans/ is a manual process. One would need to know the exact options necessary to generate the manpages to have the same format as the one currently in the mans/ directory.
What do people think about adding Makefile targets to generate these during build time, now that the COPYING, BUGS, AUTHORS file are relatively in current state which can then be used as manpage templates. help2man seems to be readily available in most Linux distributions. My main concern is other OSes. I guess we could potentially continue to ship 'stock' man pages in the distribution tarball, however I noticed that they all have /etc/ganglia hardcoded as the sysconfdir, so if one were to use a different prefix, the manpages will be misleading.
