Automatically generate manpage

[phihag]

There should be a make target update-manpage to generate the manpage, just like there is to update the README.

The manpage text can be taken from the existing debian manpage.

Hi.

Besides the manpage that I created, I think that I can give you the pod source that I created translated to markdown and integrate the little that I have there with the program/README.

Once it is in markdown format, I guess that we could use Joey Hess's hackish converter:

It should probably not be that difficult to rewrite in Python, if we want to avoid an external dependency on Perl (but, then, if we can live with Perl, then my pod manpage would be just fine).

While pod isn't too bad (although the groff generated by it is), I don't really want another format to manage besides markdown.

In any case, would you be willing to contribute your debian manpage under Public Domain (do we need to ask edmonds@debian.org to do so, too?).

[rbrito]

No, no. That manpage was written by me and I'm the maintainer of youtube-dl for quite some time now...

I surely license the manpage under Public Domain. If you need a commit with a signed-off-by, just let me know and I'll send you a pull request.
