Make it possible to rebuild an identical copy from a release tarball. It
was previously only possible from a checked out git repository.
- add release-tools.sh to dist
- keep Makefile.dist around to include it in dist
- regenerate tool_huge.c with the new version in dist
- fix the dist CI job to not do make clean like before
Closes#14336
Use PASE perl to run manual generation scripts.
As PASE perl is not aware of all possible input file encoding, convert
all files to UTF-8 upon build start (this might be lengthy).
OS/400 terminal emulation may only offer 76 columns, thus a new -c
parameter has been added to the managen program, defining the allowed
width.
If perl is not available, omit generation and disable online manual.
Closes#14289
Option cleanups:
--get is not upload
--form* are post
- added several options into ldap, smtp, imap and pop3
- shortened the category descriptions in the list
category curl fixes:
--create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--ftp-create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--netrc moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-file moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-optional moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--no-buffer moved to 'output' from 'curl'
--no-clobber removed from 'curl'
--output removed from 'curl'
--output-dir removed from 'curl'
--remove-on-error removed from 'curl'
Add a "global" category:
- Made all "global" options set this category
Add a "deprecated" category:
- Moved the deprecated options to it (maybe they should not be in any
category long term)
Add a 'timeout' category
- Put a number of appropriate options in it
Add an 'ldap' category
- Put the LDAP related option in there
Remove categories "ECH" and "ipfs"
- They should not be categories. Had only one single option each.
Remove category "misc"
- It should not be a category as it is impossible to know when to browse
it.
--use-ascii moved to ftp and output
--xattr moved to output
--service-name moved to auth
Managen fixes:
- errors if an option is given a category name that is not already setup
for in code
- verifies that options set `scope: global` also is put in category
`global´
Closes#14101
When an individual file ended with a quote (typically an example), the
render function would return without ending the quote correctly with a
".fi" (fill in) in the manpage output.
This made the additional text provided below to render wrongly.
Closes#14048
This replacing of eight leading spaces into tabs was already done for
the embedded uncompressed version in tool_hugehelp.c so it does not save
anything there. But the gzip compressed version ends up almost 2K
smaller.
The output in a terminal should be identical.
Before using TABs:
curl.txt 282492 bytes
curl.txt.gz 73261 bytes
With this change applied:
curl.txt 249382 bytes
curl.txt.gz 71470 bytes
Closes#14016
A previous change sometimes made a command line option's description not
end with a newline immediately before the next command line.
Also widened the lines to wrap on column 79 instead of 78.
Closes#14010
- up the limit: remove all mentions of 7.60 or earlier from manpage
7.60 is 6 years old now.
- warn on "broken" added in lines, as they avoid detection
- fixup added in markup in a few curldown files
Closes#14002
- output "see also" last
- when there are multiple mutex items, use commas between all of them
except the last.
- call them mututally exclusive WITH not TO other options.
- remove trailing space from added in, add newline prefix
- smoother language for requires
Closes#14001
Help texts at 49 characters or longer get a warning displayed because
they make --help output uglier and we should make an effort to keep the
help texts short and succinct.
The warning is only for display, it does not break the build. That is
left for the future if necessary.
I picked 49 because the longest current text is 48.
Closes#13895
... it used to strip off the .d file extension to sort correctly but
ever since the extension changed to .md the operation failed and the
sort got wrong.
Follow-up to 2494b8dd51Closes#13567
... no need to use an absolute path, that makes the build unncessarily
fail if invoked using a different mount point. managen now takes options
to find the input files.
Update test1478 to provide the dir arguments to managen
Closes#13281
Make them independent of the TZ setting. Also set a date string like
YYYY-MM-DD to avoid a local month name in the date.

For options that are listed for specific protocols, the protocols (shown
first within parentheses) are now output without the leading space in the
manpage output.
Closes#13105
