@lucaswerkmeister: Instead of the "# try to build the manpage ..." section, you could do:

command -v pandoc > /dev/null && pandoc -s -f markdown -t man mkosi.md -o mkosi.1

@lucaswerkmeister: or remove 'pandoc' from 'makedepends' and add a comment or a (colored) build message that it is an optional autodetected make dependency. Then we can run 'make -si' or an AUR helper as usual and are not forced to run 'makepkg --nodeps' separately (which could break the build).

@jshap I’ve updated the build script so it handles missing pandoc without failing. There’s no way to mark the dependency as optional as far as I’m aware, but you should be able to build a manpage-less version of the package with makepkg -d now.

@jshap70 I’m really not a fan of separate documentation packages – I find them very annoying in Debian, and I have the impression they’re much less widespread in Arch.

Making it optional in the build sounds more acceptable to me – declare pandoc as an optional dependency and change the build script so it doesn’t fail if the manpage can’t be built. Still not convinced it’s necessary, though, to be honest.

can we talk about maybe removing that manpage? or making it optional in the build? In all, pandoc and it's haskell-deps is 417.21 MiB of extra requirements, which pretty annoying for something which by definition is just "a fancy wrapper around... pacstrap".

Maybe we can split it out into a mkosi-docs-git package?

@S13ntist great, thanks a lot for the patch! I’ve taken the liberty to split it into several commits (keeping you as the author), I hope you don’t mind.

Hi, since https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/308 mkosi now includes a man page. The bad news is that you need to generate it yourself, via pandoc.

Can you please include the patch here: https://gist.github.com/brunnre8/4bb37277082dca2b5c826f55338474de

@gdamjan I guess that’s outdated – as far as I can tell, it seems that qemu-kvm was a fork of QEMU with KVM features added, but that’s now been merged back into QEMU, so it shouldn’t be necessary anymore. I’ve dropped the optdepends, thanks!

gdamjan commented on 2018-11-03 18:41 (UTC)

is the qemu-kvm optdepend needed? It doesn't seem to exist as a package, and those providing it already provide qemu too
