To be clear I like the patch, I was just suggesting that we might want to hold it off for a bit. Anyway, I've tested dropping asciidoc.py from the source distribution into compat/asciidoc.py and doing "make doc ASCIIDOC=../compat/asciidoc.py", it seems to work. I wonder if the easiest solution is to change the default asciidoc invocation from "asciidoc" to a small Documentation/asciidoc.sh script that we supply, it would check if there's an asciidoc present on the system, whether it's sufficiently new, and if not fall back on a copy we have in compat/. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
