After making a change to the documentation, it's easy to
forget to check the rendered version to make sure it was
formatted as you intended. And simply doing a diff between
the two built versions is less trivial than you might hope:
- diffing the roff or html output isn't particularly
readable; what we really care about is what the end user
will see
- you have to tweak a few build variables to avoid
spurious differences (e.g., version numbers, build
times)
Let's provide a script that builds and installs the manpages
for two commits, renders the results using "man", and diffs
the result. Since this is time-consuming, we'll also do our
best to avoid repeated work, keeping intermediate results
between runs.
Some of this could probably be made a little less ugly if we
built support into Documentation/Makefile. But by relying
only on "make install-man" working, this script should work
for generating a diff between any two versions, whether they
include this script or not.
