When using the install-sh that ships with the source tree, Autoconf
substitutes in a relative path just to be annoying. Define the INSTALL
variables in each individual Makefile so that they find the proper file.
Remove the definitions from Makefile.config so that no one will
accidentally get the wrong ones.
Delete pinstall and convert the entire tree to use the install program
found by configure (falling back on install-sh in the local tree). This
means that we have to pre-create directories with install -d. Also redo
the install and dest rules to be lists of install rules rather than
dependencies driving separate make rules so that running make install will
always update the target directory with the current code, even if there are
files in the install area that are newer.
Stop installing libafssetpag; we're about to kill it in favor of a
different library. Remove some djgpp rules.
Rewrite the aklog man page in POD and add documentation of the new flags
and .xlog.

====================
Fix my misunderstanding of what rxkad2b is.
====================
Fix unterminated B<>.
Autoconf 2.60 will replace some variables, most notably mandir, with values
relative to datarootdir, a new variable. Add settings of datarootdir to
the affected files.
Implement proper synopsis wrapping for HTML generation.
This was done in three pieces. First, add HTML-specific tags to the POD to
mark the synopsis for HTML purposes so that we can apply style information
to it. Second, update the style sheet to indent all lines except for the
first in the synopsis section. Third, add the appropriate S<> tags around
option and argument pairs so that we don't wrap between the option and its
argument.
Unfortunately, due to the <I<foo>> style that looks nicer for other reasons,
we have to use the very verbose S<<< >>>. Oh well.
Make the mentions of subcommands in the fs command introduction links to
the relevant pages, and add to README a to-do note to do this for the rest
of the introductory pages.
Fix links to man pages that contain underscores by working around a bug
in Pod::Simple.
Initial cut at an HTML conversion of the POD reference pages. Requires
Pod::Simple be installed (version 3.0 or later, probably). Also fix a POD
formatting bug in the afs(1) man page noticed while testing HTML output.
Add man pages for rxgen and cmdebug. The cmdebug man page was written from
scratch based on the source code. The rxgen man page is a conversion of an
old TeX document to POD.
Add new man pages for livesys and voldump. Fix the man page for sys to say
what it actually does, rather than implying that it works like livesys, and
to recommend livesys instead. Fix a path error in the NetInfo
documentation. Update the README for the current status, including
listing all installed commands that don't have man pages. (There may still
be some subcommands that don't have man pages but aren't listed.)
On installation, substitute the configured paths into the man pages,
replacing the Transarc paths. Also fix a problem with the way that
pinstall was being used to install man pages. (Silly me, I was assuming
it had the same behavior as install.)
This is just a quick first pass. Longer term, it's probably better to
replace all paths in the man pages with unambiguous tokens and then
replace those tokens instead of assuming that the man pages use Transarc
paths and replacing those paths specifically. The current method has a
few minor problems, such as not being able to distinguish between the
various paths that make up /usr/afs/bin. Still, the results of this method
are good enough to start with.
Move man page generation out into a separate script that's just invoked
from regen.sh, so that someone can run that separate script later if they
wish. Make that script more robust against problems such as empty podN
directories. Diagnose a missing pod2man and warn about old versions of
Pod::Man.
Also, remove the old programs used to do the initial conversion from HTML.
Enough post-conversion editing was done that they're no longer necessary
except for historical curiosity, and for that purpose they can be pulled
out of CVS.
This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little
content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of
various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the
file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the
descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one
afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have
been combined into one butc_logs man page.
For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on
installation for the secondary file name.
All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional
editing and cleanup, and content editing.
This completes the initial editing pass of the section eight man pages.
Only small amounts of content editing has been done. Some known problems
have been noted in README, but there will doubtless be others, as well as
some lingering formatting problems. However, the quality should now be
good enough for general public review.
Some of the section eight man pages were really supposed to be section one,
the package apropros and package help commands are too useless to document,
and a few of the difficult-to-name section five man pages have now acquired
names.
Initial documentation for the man page project, including initial notes
on conversion, a start at a formatting guide, information on how to
contribute, and an initial issues list of things I happened to notice
while editing the section one pages.
Generate the man pages in man1, man5, and man8 subdirectories rather than
directly in the doc/man-pages directory to reduce clutter. Add a
.cvsignore to reduce noise.
Complete an initial editing and cleanup pass for all section one man pages.
Fix various conversion problems, formatting inconsistencies, and obvious
problems. Please note that no editing for content has yet been done; this
is solely editing for formatting and correct conversion to POD.
Also, add some additional section five man pages that were omitted from the
first conversion run due to unusual file names, and globally replace
CAVEATS with CAUTIONS in the man pages to match the original section name.
The section one man pages should now be in reasonable shape and ready for
additional review and further updates, although there are probably still
remaining obvious problems.

====================
This file got the wrong name when it was originally committed. Fix.
This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD
for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from
regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man
available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted
out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right
section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing
for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely
be needed in a few cases).
This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams.
In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is
a more comprehensive conversion.
This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various
problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names
have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the
man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The
next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining
mess.
