Release tarball and man page

[xry111]

The tarball at https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.37/util-linux-2.37.tar.xz does not contain man pages anymore. Is this intentional?

Another issue: meson.build is now in the git repository, but it's not shipped in the tarball.

And, there is some glitch in the man page generated by asciidoctor-2.0.15 (util-linux-2.37 was configured using configure script in the tarball instead of meson, as meson.build is not in the release tarball). In the end it says util-linux {release-version}, instead of util-linux 2.37.

Yes, it's intentional. The content of the man pages depends on configuration in some cases.

meson.build -- for now it's designed for developers only. It's incomplete and experimental, it does not make sense to distribute it with the tarball. I guess in the next releases it will be more usable and we will distribute it (I hope:-)

The {release-version} is a bug ... it will be fixed in v2.37.1. Thanks for your report!

Note that in the previous releases we had incomplete man pages in the tarball too, and during the build process, it was converted to the final man page (e.g. hwclock.8.in --> hwclock.8).
