Follow-up Comment #11, bug #22796 (project freeciv): We have a patch #5445 about not distributing freeciv-manual to end users at all in Windows Installer packages. I've postponed committing it in the light of this discussion that someone might actually want to use it. Please comment to that ticket if you have an opinion about the matter. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22796 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #22796 (project freeciv): I posted the output If you're interested on working on this, I would really appreciate someone setting wikipages up for different rulesets. civ2civ3 is quite different from classic ruleset, included in main freeciv distribution in freeciv-2.5 and freeciv-2.6, and is about to become the default ruleset in 3.0 (we'd want the default ruleset documented, wouldn't we?) I've started manual work for documenting alien ruleset as I had no clear idea how to setup things with freeciv-modpack. This could be made correctly instead. Alien ruleset is currently distributed as custom ruleset (though development takes place in freeciv repository), but future version of freeciv (hopefully 3.0) should have it included. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22796 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #22796 (project freeciv): 1. freeciv-manual -h lists -- --help as GUI help option. freeciv-manual -- --help fails with unknown option --. I will commit your patch under bug #22869. New observation: Part 4 (buildings) is not empty for LANG=C (instead of auto de on my box). The output ends after Barracks I couldn't reproduce this with latest S2_5 code, even with LANGUAGE=de. Otherwise, freeciv-manual is unloved and unlikely to receive much maintenance. The strange mixture of Mediawiki and HTML is kinda by design, ish. Okay, but I don't get the by design idea. If folks want manual pages for a specific ruleset, they would need a browser (and the PNGs) for the -dUSE_HTML variant of the manual. What I mean is that freeciv-manual isn't really for folks, it's a helper for us Freeciv maintainers to maintain our own wiki (although as you'll have noticed, we haven't even been doing that). I occasionally use it for other things like reviewing the effects of a change to the help system in bulk (which is where the messy government help came from). For it to be a credible user-facing tool, we'd want to make it more complete, make USE_HTML a runtime option, etc; so far no-one's had the spare effort or inclination. I've raised patch #5388 to document this more obviously. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22796 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
