man pages won't build with latest asciidoc 10.1.1-1

[zqqw]

Having just updated the man pages I thought this was something I had done, but no - and it was building fine recently when I was testing this, downgrading asciidoc to 9.1.1-4 sees it build again.
Adding -v to the a2x command options in pakku/Makefile gives a little more output, but not sure of the fix yet...

${MAN_PAGES:=.in}: ${MAN_PAGES:=.txt}
        @echo "GEN: $@"
        @a2x \
        -v \
        --doctype manpage \

It seems that changing line 72 of Makefile from:
-a manmanual='Pakku Manual'
to
-a manmanual='Pakku_Manual'
provides a workaround to this, because the new asciidoc can't parse the space correctly.

$ a2x -v --doctype manpage --format manpage --asciidoc-opts="-v -f doc/asciidoc.conf -a manmanual='Pakku Manual' -a mansource='Pakku' -a manversion=0.14-36g2

That commit effectively resolves this and it should build with both the older and newer versions of asciidoc. Possibly it might get fixed in future releases of asciidoc so it could be reverted, although it will take a while for the versions to work through Manjaro for example. All it does is change the man page title at the top of the page from "Pakku Manual" to "Pakku_Manual" with an underscore instead of a space so it's not very important either way.
So the situation can be reviewed in future - perhaps in a few months or next year, this issue is left open as a reminder.
