2025-04-16Documentation: stop depending on Perl to massage user manualPatrick Steinhardt1-15/+0
The "fix-texi.perl" script is used to fix up the output of `docbook2x-texi`: - It changes the filename to be "git.info". - It changes the directory category and entry. The script is written in Perl, but it can be rather trivially converted to a shell script. Do so to remove the dependency on Perl for building the user manual.

2007-08-10Add support for an info version of the user manualDavid Kastrup1-0/+15
These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make info sudo make install-info to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created. This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be achieved with sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info explicitly. perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.
