by the build process to create the man pages.

You have mentioned the man pages several times, and I am slightly confused.

If I grab a tarball from
http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/~buildbot/docker-debian-jessie/snapshot/master/nut-latest.tar.gz
, the man pages are included. Are they not being installed if there is not a
new-enough version of asciidoc available?

Also, how much of a version mismatch are we talking about? I don't remember
all of the errors in the older versions that led us to add the version checks to
configure.ac, but we can certainly look into them.

However, asciidoc is not difficult to upgrade. True, it has a lot of
dependencies, but those dependencies apply equally to the earlier versions as
well.
