Some GAP docstrings are missing?

[kalmarek]

help?> GAP.Globals.ListPerm
Automata (not loaded):
  2.5-7 ListPermutedAutomata
  
  ‣ ListPermutedAutomata( aut ) ────────────────────────────────────────────────── function
  
  Given an automaton aut, returns a list of automata with permuted states

misses the Reference docstring;

on the other hand

(I have to admit GAP docstrings are pretty cool ;-)

@ThomasBreuer I think this is your code, could you have a look?

[ThomasBreuer]

@kalmarek Thanks for this.
I was able to reproduce the error with ?GAP.Globals.PermList, see #318.
But when I enter ?GAP.Globals.ListPerm, I see two entries, first the one from Reference and then the one from Automata.
Does the access to Reference work at all for you?
(For example, ?GAP.Globals.IsSimpleGroup should find exactly one entry, which belongs to Reference.)

[kalmarek]

help?> GAP.Globals.IsSimpleGroup
Help: 'IsSimpleGroup' is currently undocumented.
      For details, try ?Undocumented Variables

This is vanilla GAP.jl from master, build with all packages via ] build GAP;

[kalmarek]

just confirmed on an another machine (clean julia install) with the same results

[ThomasBreuer]

@kalmarek If I understand the installation from deps/build.jl right then there is no instruction yet to build the GAP Reference Manual, see #320.
(The GAP packages are fetched from an archive, which contains also the documentation of the packages. Thus Julia can access their documentation.)

[fingolfin]

Actually I was a bit hasty, #318 was not enough, we also need #320 (resp. #321)
