not sure if this is the right list to ask this on, but i wanted to
test nftables on my fedora 20 system and that required a bit of
tweaking. first, i upgraded to "rawhide" to have access to all of the
required packages (other than "nftables" itself), then checked out the
source for nftables from git://git.netfilter.org/nftables, and here's
what i ran into when i wanted to build the documentation.
first, building the man page required the following patch:

===== end =====
since, in the current rawhide version of fedora, the command is now
"db2x_docbook2man" from the "docbook2X" package.
related to that, the (fedora) package for PDF generation should be
"docbook-utils-pdf", not just "docbook-utils", so the INSTALL file
should be updated that way as well.
finally, the man page generated appears to think the userspace
command is "nftables", not just "nft".
is it worth submitting a patch for the above? is someone else
already taking care of this? thanks.
