[Nexus] How many of you have rst2man available on their Linux distribution

I just did 'pip install docutils’ to get it on my Mac, but for some reason, the command is ‘rst2man.py’, not just ‘rst2man'. Not sure why they wrote it like that, but it seems to work.

Hi Mark,
Could you point me to the location of the rst2man for SL.  I can't find it in their repo...
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/SRPMS/sl6/
Cheers
Stu


It is a bit hidden: it is python-docutils-0.6.1.el6.noarch

And that one appears to be in the sl6.4 base installation.

Regards,

   Mark

Hi,

even SL6 has rst2man

But OSX does not.

I have them on debian and suse.

And in any case, any system with pip installed can install them in one
command (not asking too much for someone compiling nexus...)

Hi folks,
I was just thinking about how to simplify the generation of program
documentation. Every command line program should come with a man-page.
However, formatting man pages manually is rather tedious. We already
use sphinx for the generation of the NeXus definitions HTML and PDF
documentation. So I was thinking to streamline the documentation
generation totally on restructures text.
To obtain man-pages from rst files one could either use

* sphinx
* rst2man

Is it safe to assume that actual Linux distributions a user runs have
theses tools available from their package manager?
On Debian I know that this would work. Can you give me short report
how this would work out on the distributions you are using?

regards
Eugen
