Issue #198 has been updated by Garrett Honeycutt.

Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Target version deleted (0.25.0)
Affected Puppet version changed from 0.25.4 to 2.6.1
Keywords set to man manpage

The puppet man page appears to be a one line static entry. Our goal should be 
to have it dynamically generated.

I suggest that we take the approach that git uses, since it correlates well 
with the puppet commands. 

Here is a snippet from man -k git
<pre>
git                  (7)  - the stupid content tracker
git                 (rpm) - Core git tools
git-add              (1)  - Add file contents to the index
git-am               (1)  - Apply a series of patches from a mailbox
git-annotate         (1)  - Annotate file lines with commit info
git-apply            (1)  - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
</pre>

We could have entries for puppet, puppet-apply, puppet-resource, etc.

Seeing this, http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/109214 
I'm sure it's already on a TODO list somewhere, though I didn't see it in Trac.

For short term purposes, I've had great success writing a small POD file (even 
for non Perl apps, no source, just POD) and running pod2man on it.

pod2man --center="foosball" --release="" foosball.pod | gzip -c > foosball.1.gz
