Release v2.0.2

Summary

Focus for this release is significantly improved documentation.

Details

The documentation is now generated with Doxygen and is available both in HTML and PDF format
and is included in the distribution.

In addition, the documentation is available on-line in github wiki as:

1. (HTML) mptools User guide
2. (PDF) mptools User guide

As is praxis the source for the documentation is not included in the distributed tar-ball
only the resulted generated docs. This is because generating the docs is a build time pipeline requiring
special tools. The repo (of course) contains the full source but not any generated documentation
as a matter of policy.

Internal changes

New docs directory

A new directory docs with a Doxygen-setup have been created as well as a new Makefile
to run the documentation pipeline.
The pipeline is run from the top-level Makefile recursively given the top-level target docs.

Note: This will only create the HTML version (on purpose) since In order to create the PDF
version a full LaTeX installation must exist,

To create the PDF version of the user guide first move to the docs directory and run make pdf
(or stay in the top-level and run make -C docs pdf.

Other updates

• The script files have been updated with new Doxygen comments

Release v2.0.0

Summary

This is a partial rewrite to make the package run as an installed program and
not relying on executing all script from the package directory.

The generated *.yaml cloud-init files are also now stored in a hidden directory
in the users home directory since they are per-definition user specific.

The package is easy to install by just using the provided makefile as so:

% make install

Features

• Install the package in (INSTALL_PREFIX)/share and link binaries under (INSTALL_PREFIX)/bin
• Added install/unistall targets in makefile
• Added option -n for all scripts which will just do a dry-run for all scripts
• Major documentation rewrite
• Increase timeout when launching multipass nodes to allow for more complex cloud-init files
• Improved handling of how to locate cloud-init files
• Seamless handle of uninstall a previous version with a later version package script

Changes

• No longer install SSH_PUBLIC_KEY in .zshenv the yaml files are generated
  without the need for a new environment variable

Internal

• Move creation of name specific nodes from the Makefile to the mpn script
