Cache the value of man-db/auto-update in the file system, so that we
don't have to talk to debconf when processing triggers (LP: #1372673). - 35. By Colin Watson
-
* Avoid fatal errors when opening a 64-bit GDBM database from a 32-bit
process (LP: #1001189).
* Link with -Wl,--enable-new-dtags, so that LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be used to
override our private library directory. (This fixes a build failure
when attempting to build the above change.) - 33. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release:
- Translated manual pages are no longer displayed starting with a
spurious blank line (closes: #628639).
- Create a cache directory tag, per http://www.brynosaurus .com/cachedir/
(closes: #637046).
- Alphabetise "SEE ALSO" references and remove trailing full stops, per
man-pages(7) (closes: #651482).
- Update German manual page translations (closes: #494066, #596104,
#624096).
* Install FAQ.
* Update debian/copyright. - 32. By Colin Watson
-
* Discard stderr from dpkg-query in cron jobs (LP: #783903).
* Make man-db Multi-Arch: foreign.
* Upgrade to debhelper v9 and its new arrangements for honouring
dpkg-buildflags output. - 31. By Colin Watson
-
* Add debconf translations:
- Serbian (thanks, Zlatan Todoric; closes: #635062).
- Serbian (Latin) (thanks, Zlatan Todoric; closes: #635063). - 30. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release:
- Fix a segfault when scanning links to empty pages (closes: #622104).
- Once we've seen at least one record in a page's NAME section, ignore
any further records that don't include a whatis description, as they
tend to be noise.
* Remove unnecessary .la files (closes: #622443). - 29. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release, fixing test failures in 2.6.0 (closes: #621867):
- Ensure that the target of a symlink or .so chain is always recorded as
a real page.
- Read a user-specified configuration file even if HOME is unset. - 28. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release:
- Search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages.
As part of this, '.so name.1' should now work as well as '.so
man1/name.1' (closes: #503472, LP: #411534).
- Handle roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections (closes:
#601025).
- Don't start a pager if stdout is not a tty.
- Allow passing multiple sections to whatis and apropos (closes:
#571285).
- Provide byte positions in manconv errors (closes: #562789).
- Make mandb error output neater when stderr is not a tty.
- Fix failure to display manual pages in some encodings when installed
setuid.
- Don't ignore SIGPIPE while forking iconv (closes: #597756).
- Remove obsolete subdirectories of cat directories (closes: #558804).
- If mandb sees that A is a symlink to B, it should never store a whatis
reference for B (closes: #204249).
- Print commas in roman rather than bold (thanks, David Prévot; closes:
#600002).
- Consider .PD requests as paragraph breaks (closes: #611012).
- Reset SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL on startup, to avoid noisy output in the
event that mandb was started from a context where SIGPIPE was ignored.
- SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the
system configuration file, rather than appending to them.
- If the user asked for an explicit section, sort exact matches first.
- Rewrite all remaining subprocess handling in terms of libpipeline,
especially some crash-prone code in catman (LP: #27738).
- The default less prompt now includes "(press h for help or q to quit)"
to help novices find their way around
(http://brainstorm. ubuntu. com/idea/ 25975).
- Fix a segfault when 'man -K' tries to display certain pages.
- Fix a segfault in some situations when processes are killed by SIGHUP,
SIGINT, or SIGTERM (LP: #218336).
* Avoid unnecessary metadata writes to /var/cache/man when doing recursive
chown (thanks, Iustin Pop; closes: #619726). - 27. By Colin Watson
-
* Add debconf translations:
- Slovak (thanks, Slavko; closes: #609347).
* Fix test failure with groff 1.21.
* Upload to unstable.
