-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Format: 1.7 Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2007 20:38:25 +0100 Source: man-db Binary: man-db Architecture: source i386 Version: 2.5.0-1 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Changed-By: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Description: man-db - on-line manual pager Closes: 18452 29448 165499 196642 259338 259340 281811 320108 334280 340673 348008 372939 378428 385651 391977 411220 411721 413349 421481 421481 430635 444187 Changes: man-db (2.5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low . * New upstream release. - Remove /usr/X11R6/man from MANDATORY_MANPATH (closes: #413349). - man now supports the MANPAGER environment variable, overriding PAGER. - Resolve ambiguous error message when asking for a nonexistent manual page that might also be a section name (closes: #421481). - MANSEC -> MANSECT in German man(1) and catman(8) (closes: #430635). - Truncate apropos/whatis output to the terminal width by default (closes: #411721). - lexgrog now ignores alleged manual page names containing spaces, as these usually indicate parsing errors or ill-formed NAME sections and they clutter up apropos output badly. - Discard stderr from formatting processes when outputting to a pager, to avoid visual corruption from any error messages (closes: #372939). - Disallow sectional extensions of alphabetic sections, e.g. n and l from the default configuration (closes: #391977), and sectional extensions beginning with a digit (closes: #421481). - Suppress warnings in --quiet mode (closes: #348008, #378428, #411220; also closes: #334280 since that suggestion is no longer relevant). - If MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING is set in the environment, don't strip formatting characters with col (closes: #340673). - Implement and use a decompression library. This allows cat pages to be saved in the background while the pager is active (closes: #18452) and operation with a read-only /tmp (closes: #165499). - Add a configuration file flag (NOCACHE) to disable cat page caching (closes: #196642). - Add output keys to a hashtable, and skip any that have already been seen (closes: #259338). - Execute system utilities by command name rather than by full path (closes: #385651). - Add apropos -a/--and option to display only items matching all keywords (closes: #259340). - Adjust Finnish translation of "No manual entry for %s" (closes: #320108). - Create and use databases for non-English manual hierarchies (closes: #29448, #281811). - Improve per-locale directory handling. Directories such as "fr.UTF-8" may be used for occasions when it is appropriate to specify the character set but not the country, and so a full locale name is inconvenient. - There is a new "manconv" program which can try multiple possible encodings for a file, thus allowing UTF-8 manual pages to be installed in any directory even without an explicit encoding declaration. - Don't escape the hierarchy path while globbing; it isn't necessary and it causes problems for paths containing metacharacters (closes: #444187). * Use new configure options for external programs rather than hardcoding them in configure.ac. * Remove code in debian/rules to fiddle manual page paths for Debian, since the default of $LL.UTF-8 is now reasonable. (An announcement/discussion about what other Debian packages should do will be forthcoming shortly.) * Build-depend on zlib1g-dev so that we use zlib rather than gzip to decompress gzipped manual pages.
