yanpas / mandocset Goto Github PK

Hi Yan

Thanks a lot for your work.

I'm not a Pyhton guy, so I can't code this myself. Would be great though if you could render the -p /man/page/dir [/additional/man/page/dir]optional and instead use the output of man -w as source scanning man page directories.

Yours,

Awesome tool, thank you!

I made myself docset with the man pages found in an Amazon Linux 2 system.

Roughly, by doing this on an Amazon Linux 2 EC2 instance:

git clone https://github.com/Yanpas/mandocset.git
sudo yum install -y python3
sudo yum install –y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel
sudo yum install -y man2html
python3 mandocset.py -o Amzn2 -p /usr/share/man/ -i etc/tux.png -I etc/[email protected]

Then I copied that back to laptop, like so:

cd ~/.docsets
ssh $ec2_instance tar -C w/mandocset -c Amzn2.docset | tar -x

This docset works great, but for one flaw.

The individual pages are to found at url's like so:
file:////Users/bhyde/.docsets/Amzn2.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/man1/systemctl.1.gz.html

But the embedded links look like so:
file:////Users/bhyde/.docsets/Amzn2.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/man1/systemctl.1.html

this script works well with downloaded manpages, I tried to run it against /usr/share/man but the generate docset can not be displayed in zeal, it will be nice to generate docset directly from /usr/share/man
