Hi, atm, the git release tarballs don't contain man pages. They can be generated from the asciidoc source files, which makes the build depend on python and asciidoc.

That's *very* inconvenient; would it be possible to include the man pages in the release tarball?

Or maybe offer them in a separate tarball?

Thanks, Tilman
