[ptxdist] man/ptxdist.1.gz corrupt in ptxdist-2017.07.0

[Ian Abbott]

Hi,

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet on the mailing list, but I'm 
sure a few people other than myself will have noticed that the ptxdist 
man page distributed with ptxdist-2017.07.0 is just a gzip-compressed, 
empty file, so the ptxdist "help" command doesn't work.

It's not a big deal, and might have been a one-off glitch in this 
release, but I thought I'd better mention it in case it happens in the 
next release.

I can confirm this.

Yeah, especially because I started to install ptxdist from tarballs
again, because help didn't work when installing from git tags.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks like rst2man is broken on the machine I
used to create that release. And the rule in the Makefile is broken and
didn't propagate the error :-/.
