Some manual pages were not installed, e.g. NetworkManager.conf(5), although nm-system-settings.conf(5), which directs users to the former, is installed. Looking at the Makefile.am, it appears that maybe these are autogenerated during tarball creating and shipped there as pregenerated files, but if so, that didn't happen with the 1.1.91 tarball.Maybe they need to be added to EXTRA_DIST? Atm only $(docbook_autogenerated_man_pages) is added to EXTRA_DIST, looks like $(docbook_generated_man_pages) is missing. Shipping $(configure_generated_man_pages) in the tarball is probably not necessary, they are created by ./configure after all.
Hi Michael, I forgot to say... we put the pregenerated man-pages to the source tarball so that a user doesn't need to build them -- although he could. It's for convinience only. Whether that is useful is a valid question, probably for distributions not so much... Thomas
