Generating man pages for portusctl

Documentation for portusctl comes in the form of UNIX manual pages. They can be found inside of the packaging/suse/portusctl/man directory. In this directory, there are two subdirectories:

• markdown: the files that developers use to write the documentation.
• man1: the manual pages that should be installed in the system.

As you can see, we use regular Markdown files to edit manual pages. This is possible thanks to the md2man gem. In order to generate the resulting man pages inside of the packaging/suse/portusctl/man/man1 directory, you have to execute:

$ rake portus:generate_man_pages

Note that this should be done by developers. Packagers should only have to care about the files inside of packaging/suse/portusctl/man/man1 and disregard completely the markdown files.
