qemu manual removal

Updating from qemu-1.4.2-2-x86_64 to qemu-1.5.1-2-x86_64 resulted in

man qemu
No manual entry for qemu

Downgrading solved it, is this intentional ?

I see that '--enable-docs' has been removed.

I also see that you've opened a bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36108

Re: qemu manual removal

Works here. Running qemu 1.5.1-2. It's custom-compiled, but only to remove a bunch of stuff.

$ pacman -Ql qemu | grep "/man"
qemu /usr/share/man/
qemu /usr/share/man/man1/
qemu /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1.gz
qemu /usr/share/man/man1/qemu.1.gz
qemu /usr/share/man/man1/virtfs-proxy-helper.1.gz
qemu /usr/share/man/man8/
qemu /usr/share/man/man8/qemu-nbd.8.gz

Also FYI, I prefer the "QEMU Emulator User Documentation" at /usr/share/doc/qemu/qemu-doc.html.

Edit re:karol - I don't have --enable-docs in my custom PKGBUILD either...

Re: qemu manual removal

Hm, works here too (32-bit, but that shouldn't make a difference).

Edit: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … qemu/files doesn't list the man page, so for some reason the 64-bit version didn't get it.

@alphaniner
The 64-bit version doesn't have any /usr/share/doc files.

Re: qemu manual removal

Weird. I'm running 64-bit, and all I did was modify the depends array and the configure command. Must be the latter:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --audio-drv-list=""\
              --target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu arm-softmmu" \
              --python=/usr/bin/python2 --smbd=/usr/bin/smbd \
              --enable-mixemu --libexecdir=/usr/lib/qemu \
              --disable-gtk --enable-linux-aio --enable-seccomp \
              --disable-vde --disable-user --disable-linux-user --disable-bsd-user \
              --disable-brlapi --disable-bluez --disable-cocoa --disable-glusterfs \
              --disable-werror --disable-libiscsi

Or maybe something in my build environment?

Re: qemu manual removal

Something went wrong with the stock 64-bit version and I don't think it's related to configure options, see my edited post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1299126

Re: qemu manual removal

Hmm, well maybe someone who runs the stock version could try to build it. I'd do it, but the whole point of my custom-compile was to avoid installing a bunch of the deps.
