* New upstream release:
- Be more careful to avoid using or double-closing closed database
handles. Fixes test suite failures on some systems.
- Patch the fdutimens function imported from Gnulib to work around a
libc bug in GNU/Hurd.
* Stop removing /usr/bin/man and /usr/bin/mandb on prerm remove, as those
symlinks are shipped in the package nowadays (thanks, Sven Joachim;
closes: #762704). - 50. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release:
- Fix test suite in the case where the system supports high-precision
timestamps but the file system containing the build directory does
not.
* Ensure that /var/cache/man exists when triggered (LP: #1351795). - 49. By Colin Watson
-
* New upstream release:
- Add systemd tmpfiles snippet to clean up old cat files after a week.
- Run "col -b -p -x" over cat pages if possible before parsing them
(closes: #751934).
- Move database mtime out of the database into file metadata, making the
database reproducible between installations (closes: #760895).
- Use high-precision timestamps.
- Order files by first physical extent before reading (closes: #574410).
- Prioritise COLUMNS above TIOCGWINSZ (LP: #1315282).
- Formatting improvements to man(1) (closes: #726266).
- Don't use pointed-to name as title for database-located pages (closes:
#709405).
- Move zsoelim to /usr/lib/man-db/.
* Remove unnecessary entries from debian/dirs.
* 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 (closes:
#579075).
* Add MIME handlers (thanks, Kevin Ryde; closes: #725157).
* Override the long-standing Lintian warning for non-standard-dir-perm on
/var/cache/man.
* Adjust cron.daily to skip cat file cleanup if running under systemd,
since the upstream-provided tmpfiles snippet now handles that.
* Rebuild the database on upgrade to this version, since the format has
changed.
