Files in a single new distro/ dir allow apkg to build BIRD packages for various distros directly from upstream sources as well as from upstream archives. Please see distro/README.md for more detail as well as apkg docs: https://apkg.rtfd.io I've used these files to build bird-2.0.8 on all currently supported releases of following distros: * Debian * Ubuntu * Fedora * CentOS * openSUSE Please note that latest apkg with accumulated fixes for bird is needed: https://gitlab.nic.cz/packaging/apkg/-/merge_requests/35

A manual page <package>.<section> will be generated. You may view the
|
|
manual page with: nroff -man <package>.<section> | less'. A typical entry
|
|
in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:
|
|
|
|
DB2MAN = /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
|
|
XP = xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param man.charmap.use.subset "0"
|
|
|
|
manpage.1: manpage.xml
|
|
$(XP) $(DB2MAN) $<
|
|
|
|
The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package. The XSL files are in
|
|
docbook-xsl. A description of the parameters you can use can be found in the
|
|
docbook-xsl-doc-* packages. Please remember that if you create the nroff
|
|
version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need
|
|
to include xsltproc and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field.
|
|
Alternatively use the xmlto command/package. That will also automatically
|
|
pull in xsltproc and docbook-xsl.
|
|
|
|
Notes for using docbook2x: docbook2x-man does not automatically create the
|
|
AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections. In this case, please add them manually as
|
|
<refsect1> ... </refsect1>.
|
|
|
|
To disable the automatic creation of the AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections
|
|
read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/doc/manpages/authors.html. This file can be
|
|
found in the docbook-xsl-doc-html package.
|
|
|
|
Validation can be done using: `xmllint -''-noout -''-valid manpage.xml`

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para><command>bird</command> is an Internet Routing Daemon. That is,
|
|
it sends and receives messages using different protocols in order to
|
|
discover and exchange routing information with other routing daemons
|
|
present on the same network. It is able to talk the most widely
|
|
known routing protocols (such as BGPv4, RIPv2, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3),
|
|
both on IPv4 and IPv6 and it features a very powerful language for
|
|
route filtering.</para>
|
|
<para><command>birdc</command> is a remote control for <command>bird</command>.
|
|
While <command>bird</command> is running, the system administrator can
|
|
connect to it using <command>birdc</command>, to inspect its internal
|
|
status and reconfigure it. The two processes use a Unix socket to
|
|
communicate. Once started, <command>bird</command> will give access
|
|
to an interactive shell: commands can be completed with TAB and help
|
|
can be requested by pressing the key `?'. More documentation on
|
|
the available commands can be foung on the website, see below.</para>
