These build instructions are mostly based on `Documentation/building.md`
and the wiki.
There are some `.. todo::` sections still present in the
documentation. They will be completed later. For some of the todos
content needs to be written, some others require custom sphinx-plugins
to be implemented.
The `.. todo::` sections are only visible in the source, not in the
rendered html.

Debian Bullseye, current stable release, ships only with meson 0.56.2.
To go back to an older meson version pass the project_version info as
parameter to `sphinx-build` instead of using an environment variable.
This is done by overriding the `release` variable in conf.py with
`-Drelease=meson.project_version()` at the command line call.

Use sphinx (sphinx-doc.org) to generate the UNIX man page from an
reStructuredText file instead of dealing with plain groff.
Use `meson setup -Dman-pages=enabled` to build the man page, and
`meson setup -Ddocumentation=enabled` to build the web documentation
explicitly. Both are enabled automatically if sphinx-build is found.
The man page will be installed as `<meson_mandir>/man8/flashrom.8` and
The html documentation in <meson_datadir>/doc/flashrom/html`.
The Makefile builds only the man-page format.
Increase the minimum version of meson from 0.53.0 to 0.57.0 to be
able to pass environment variables to the custom_target() command. That
is needed to pass the FLASHROM_VERSION to the documentation.
