Use of PKG_NAME is deprecated in GNOME 3 and produced this warning:
$ ./autogen.sh
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
/usr/bin/yelp-build
***Warning*** PKG_NAME is deprecated, you may remove it from autogen.sh
...
Now that GParted is a GNOME 3 application with GNOME 3 yelp-tools
managed documentation this is redundant and can be removed. Previous
further analysis:
GNOME Bugzilla, Bug 743318, comment 18
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743318#c18
"
PKG_NAME is still used in GNOME 2.28's gnome-autogen.sh in error
messages. (GNOME 3's gnome-autogen.sh queries it from configure.ac
instead of requiring it to be set).
"
Also confirmed that it makes no difference by running ./autogen.sh with
and without PKG_NAME being set. The produced GParted build trees were
the same. Therefore the release and executable can't be affected.
Second part is to use yelp-tools to build and install the documentation.
Have to rename the help Manual from help/C/gparted.xml to
help/C/index.docbook in accordance with this note from the GNOME Goal:
Port to New Documentation Infrastructure [1]:
IMPORTANT: If this is for a DocBook document, the top-level DocBook
file MUST be renamed to index.docbook. Do a "git mv" and include
index.docbook in HELP_FILES.
Commits from gucharmap [4] and totem [5], projects which have DocBook
documentation, making this same change are also useful references.

Details of old GNOME 2 gnome-doc-utils:
Migrating your documentation to gnome-doc-utils
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeDocUtils/MigrationHowTo
First part is to stop using gnome-doc-utils to build and install the
documentation. Also since updating the OMF catalog was only needed for
GNOME 2 yelp, use of scrollkeeper is completely removed too.
Closes!24 - Port to GNOME 3 yelp-tools documentation infrastructure
Use of USE_GNOME2_MACROS is deprecated in GNOME 3 and produced this
warning:
$ ./autogen.sh
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
...
***Warning*** USE_GNOME2_MACROS is deprecated, you may remove it from autogen.sh
...
It's use appears to have been removed first from GNOME 2.8 with this
commit from 2004:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-common/commit/?id=ea9e85851445efa0135c3f8d08c3d1ea53760d91
delete some files that were unused after the reorganisation
The oldest supported distribution is RHEL / CentOS 6 which is using
gnome-common-2.28.0 from 2009. Therefore unconditionally remove the
USE_GNOME2_MACROS setting.
Also confirmed that it makes no difference by running ./autogen.sh with
and without USE_GNOME2_MACROS being set. The produced GParted build
trees were the same. Therefore the release and executable can't be
affected.
If the gnome-doc-utils package isn't installed and you try to compile
GParted from git it will fail with this:
$ ./autogen.sh
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh
Cannot find file: gnome-doc-utils.make
You need to install gnome-doc-utils
After installing the gnome-doc-utils package the same error will be
reported again unless you also update the locate database.
Instead query the full path to the gnome-doc-utils.make file from the
gnome-doc-utils' pkg-config metadata.
Closes Bug #702040 - very strange gnome-doc-utils check in gparted
