In the past we have packaged man9 section of kernel docs. Upstream removed the man pages section in 4.14 release. There are now different types of kernel docs available (make help output):
Documentation targets:
Linux kernel internal documentation in different formats from ReST:
htmldocs - HTML
latexdocs - LaTeX
pdfdocs - PDF
epubdocs - EPUB
xmldocs - XML
linkcheckdocs - check for broken external links (will connect to
external hosts)
refcheckdocs - check for references to non-existing files under
Documentation
cleandocs - clean all generated files
make SPHINXDIRS="s1 s2" [target] Generate only docs of folder s1, s2
valid values for SPHINXDIRS are: crypto networking input media
core-api userspace-api process driver-api sh admin-guide doc-guide
filesystems dev-tools kernel-hacking sound gpu
make SPHINX_CONF={conf-file} [target] use *additional* sphinx-build2
configuration. This is e.g. useful to build with nit-picking config.
Default location for the generated documents is Documentation/output
The recent docs are available online here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/#
Should we keep packaging this at all or drop it? Is there anybody who
want to take this package over? I'm not interested in packaging this
though maintenance work is low.
