Eric Paris 26149bd83d Doc generation should remove old doc files
Right now, our doc generation scripts notice if you make changes and
don't regen docs, don't include new docs, etc.  But they miss it if your
changes should have REMOVED a doc.  Both kubectl-apiversion and
kubectl-clusterinfo should have been removed, but weren't.

This patch starts tracking all generated doc files and will cause
problems if files should be removed and aren't.

Kubernetes Documentation

This directory contains the Kubernetes user manual in the Markdown format. Do not edit the man pages in the man1 directory. Instead, amend the Markdown (*.md) files.

Generating man pages from the Markdown files

The recommended approach for generating the man pages is via a Docker container using the supplied Dockerfile to create an image with the correct environment. This uses go-md2man, a pure Go Markdown to man page generator.

Building the md2man image

There is a Dockerfile provided in the kubernetes/docs/man directory.

Using this Dockerfile, create a Docker image tagged docker/md2man:

docker build -t docker/md2man .

Utilizing the image

Once the image is built, run a container using the image with volumes:

docker run -v /<path-to-git-dir>/kubernetes/docs/man:/docs:rw \
-w /docs -i docker/md2man /docs/md2man-all.sh

The md2man Docker container will process the Markdown files and generate the man pages inside the docker/docs/man/man1 directory using Docker volumes. For more information on Docker volumes see the man page for docker run and also look at the article [Sharing Directories via Volumes] (http://docs.docker.com/use/working_with_volumes/).
