I have that as a goal, but need some help. The thing is: we have <./scripts/LinuxManBook/>, which contains a Perl script and some helper stuff for it. It was contributed by gropdf(1)'s maintainer Deri James. Currently, that script does a lot of magic which produces the book from all of the pages. I'd like to be able to split the script into several smaller scripts that can be run on each page, and then another script that merges all of them into the single PDF file. That would be something I can merge into the Makefiles so that we can run a `make build-pdf` and if I touch a single page, it would only update the relevant part, reusing as much as possible from previous runs. Since I don't understand Perl, and don't know much of gropdf(1) either, I need help. Maybe Deri or Branden can help with that. If anyone else understands it and can also help, that's very welcome too! Then I could install a hook in my server that runs $ make build-pdf docdir=/srv/www/...
