[Nut-upsdev] building NUT on Mac OS X Yosemite (website/documentation)

Sun Nov 23 20:59:22 UTC 2014

Sorry I ran ‘make' command in nut-website/nut... (I still can’t understand why creating man page is so long, it is much more faster on ubuntu.)
When running ‘make’ in nut-website, same issue then described previously, even with Arno patch
