Online Manual Pages

We now have online manual pages; these appear in the navigation under „Documentation → Manual pages“ and will slowly be filled with HTML versions of the manual pages that come with our packages. This feature is trunk-only, and the manpage link on the FreeWRT homepage will always stay a link to the documentation for trunk.

The conversion is done by a script inherited from ekkoBSD via MirBSD.

Packagers will have to make sure their manpages (no matter whether formatted or not) end up in ${WRKINST} and enable the option for man page processing in the ADK configuration. The conversion algorithm applies some heuristics to find out names of possible manual pages (just make sure they are placed in a directory called man or manN (N = 1,2,3,3p,4,5,6,7,8,9) or, for catman pages, catN).
