- removed documentation of -S option from named man page
- removed documentation of reserved-sockets from ARM
- simplified documentation of dnssec-secure-to-insecure - it
now just says it's obsolete rather than describing what it
doesn't do anymore
- marked three formerly obsolete options as ancient:
parent-registration-delay, reserved-sockets, and
suppress-initial-notify
Use the new role :iscman: to replace all occurences or ``binary``
with :iscman:`binary`, creating a hyperlink to the manual page.
Generated using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. iscman' | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst > /tmp/progs
for PROG in $(cat /tmp/progs); do find -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e "s/\`\`$PROG\`\`/:iscman:\`$PROG\`/g"; done
Additional hand-edits were done mainly around filter-aaaa and
filter-a which are program names and and option names at the
same time. Couple more edits was neede to fix .rst syntax broken by
automatic replacement.
The new directive and role "iscman" allow to tag & reference man pages in
our source tree. Essentially it is just namespacing for ISC man pages,
but it comes with couple benefits.
Differences from .. _man_program label we formerly used:
- Does not expand :ref:`man_program` into full text of the page header.
- Generates index entry with category "manual page".
- Rendering style is closer to ubiquitous to the one produced
by ``named`` syntax.
Differences from Sphinx built-in :manpage: role:
- Supports all builders with support for cross-references.
- Generates internal links (unlike :manpage: which generates external
URLs).
- Checks that target exists withing our source tree.
Replace the hard-coded paths for various BIND 9 files (configuration,
pid, etc.) in the man pages and ARM with compile-time values using the
sphinx-build replace system.
This is more complicated, because the restructured text specification
doesn't allow |substitions| inside ``code-blocks``, so for each specific
file we had to create own substition which is sub-optimal, but it is
only way how to do this without adding Sphinx extension.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
