It would make things a lot easier for us. I'm not sure if duplicate content in the upstream source tarball is a good idea (it means keep there AsciiDoc as well as generated man pages). Maybe we can create a separated tarball util-linux-man-2.37.tar.gz and distribute it by kernel.org FTP for users who do not want to depend on AsciiDoc. It would be also usable in the future when we will have the man pages translated to other languages. The problem is content which depends on the configuration (variables like $ADJTIME_PATH, $docdir, etc.), because it's distro-specific and these variables are replaced by real data during conversion from AsciiDoc, but I guess this is something we can fix by simple sed call in the Makekefile.am. So, your work-flow will be: * download and extract source tar.gz * download and extract man-pages tar.gz to the same directory as source * ./configure [--disable-asciidoc] * make * make install Does it sounds usable?
