pod2man(1) and pod2text(1) are already installed on most modern
GNU/Linix systems including Debian and RedHat-based systems;
pandoc(1) and Haskell are not, and we do not wish to waste
precious bandwidth and disk space of potential packagers.
perlpod(1) is also better standardized than any Markdown flavor,
especially when it comes to generating manpages.
Finally, I'm mildly proficient at Perl (it is similar to Ruby)
and can poke around at the source if I encounter breakage.

Using the 'update-copyright' script from gnulib[1]:
git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \
xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
We're also switching to 'GPL-3.0+' as recommended by SPDX
to be consistent with our gemspec and other metadata
(as opposed to the longer but equivalent "GPLv3 or later").

This removes the build-time dependency on Nokogiri, which can
be time-consuming to install. We won't be supporting any public
APIs, so we will not actually support RDoc here.

Future updates may use the update-copyright script in gnulib:
git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \
xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright

It's wrong to use gsub when stripping text in those cases.
|
|
This should hopefully make it easier to share info about
new releases.

Hopefully it'll be easier for folks to use and contribute.
Publish it on the site while we're at it.
