Merge branch 'postinst-runuser' into 'master'
d/postinst: Run mandb with runuser instead of perl
See merge request debian/man-db!7
commit 0d714f77584a58d4ca408454b473b024fd728776
Author: Gioele Barabucci <gioele@svario.it>
Date: Sat Jul 9 18:59:41 2022 +0200
d/postinst: Run mandb with setpriv instead of perl
The `postinst` mainscript uses Perl to launch `mandb` as `man`, both as
real and effective user.
As suggested by cjwatson in MR !7, `setpriv` (from util-linux, essential)
can be used to the same effect and without requiring the presence of Perl
at bootstrap-/installation-time.

Date: Tue Mar 8 16:49:14 2022 +0000

commit 8dd87247192e17f7da33cc7ce2155442ecedb218
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 8 16:42:12 2022 +0000
pre-commit: Add shellcheck
* .pre-commit-config.yaml: Add shellcheck. We need separate hooks for
`src/tests/` and for everything else, since shellcheck needs a `-P`
option to correctly handle sourced files in `src/tests/`.
* .shellcheckrc: New file.
commit be4e849ef3417fc2b976ad6019eab417c732ea2c
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 8 16:36:14 2022 +0000
Refactor use of cd in shell scripts
shellcheck warns about unchecked uses of `cd` (SC2164). Either check it
or refactor to avoid changing directory.
* src/tests/man-deleted-directory: Check `cd` call.
* src/tests/man-suffixed-extension: Avoid changing directory.
* tools/mkcatdirs: Likewise.
commit d25829983629c590988e1d69f7b3ec9ce6b77531
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 8 16:35:06 2022 +0000
mkcatdirs: Skip nonexistent man directories
* tools/mkcatdirs: `manpath -qg` may return man directories that are
mentioned in the configuration file but that don't exist on the
filesystem. Skip these.
commit 47f9458796927596ac5d66aafeb0f31df925bcf5
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 8 16:32:12 2022 +0000
mkcatdirs: Refactor using install(1)
I'm not sure this script is widely-used, but it might as well work. It
previously relied on `mkinstalldirs`, which is a build tool not
typically installed on end-user systems.
* tools/mkcatdirs: Refactor cat directory creation using install(1).
commit cddae82c74ecdcc908adfd4730968d4ee237c13c
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 8 16:13:21 2022 +0000
Apply various minor shell syntax improvements
* manual/print-options: Explicitly set `LANGUAGE=''` rather than
`LANGUAGE=`, pacifying shellcheck SC1007 which notes that this
construction might otherwise be misread.
* src/tests/manconv-odd-combinations: Use `printf %b` to pacify
shellcheck SC2059.
* src/tests/testlib.sh: Tell shellcheck which shell syntax to assume,
since this file has no `#!` line.
(run): Disable shellcheck SC2154; `abs_top_builddir` is always set by
the test runner.
(report): Remove unnecessary `$` before variable in arithmetic context.
(tools/checkman): Use `$(...)` for command substitution. Quote
variables properly where possible, and ignore shellcheck SC2068 in a
couple of other places.
commit dbe96d093c7676e043790c9e7b2d68fec9df249c
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Mon Mar 7 19:00:20 2022 +0000
tests: Pacify shellcheck SC2188
The previous construction resulted in:
SC2188 (warning): This redirection doesn't have a command. Move to its
command (or use 'true' as no-op).
* src/tests/man-mandatory-manpath, src/tests/testlib.sh: Avoid
redirections without a command.
commit d87cba420f7678bf1909de82e885f5b80ac49139
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date: Mon Mar 7 18:55:49 2022 +0000
tests: Make pass/fail reporting more shellcheck-friendly
* src/tests/testlib.sh (report): New function, similar to expect_pass
but taking an exit code rather than a command string to evaluate.
(expect_pass): Remove.
(expect_files_equal): Refactor using report function.
* src/tests/man-deleted-directory,
src/tests/man-executable-page-on-path, src/tests/man-missing-locales,
src/tests/man-recode-in-place, src/tests/manconv-incomplete-char-at-eof,
src/tests/mandb-bogus-symlink, src/tests/mandb-cachedir-tag,
src/tests/mandb-empty-page, src/tests/mandb-purge-updates-timestamp:
Refactor to use report function rather than expect_pass.

man(1): Fix override dir handling
Previously, override dir was affecting only some cases of manpath
determination. Apply it only when all paths have been gathered instead.
Also look for override dir when sorting candidates.
Fixes src/tests/man-override-dir failing when --with-override-dir=od is
passed to ./configure.
[cjwatson: Refactored candidate comparison to use a strcmp-style
function, and simplified the addition of override directories a little
more.]
* src/man.c (compare_override_dir): New function.
(compare_candidates): Compare override directory status between
comparing section extensions and comparing locale elements.
* src/manp.c (insert_override_dir): Remove.
(get_manpath_from_path, add_man_subdirs): Remove calls to
insert_override_dir.
(create_pathlist): Add OVERRIDE_DIR at the canonicalization stage
instead.
* NEWS.md: Document this.

Add some hardening options to the systemd service
Based on a patch by Johannes Segitz in the openSUSE packaging, although
I added `PrivateTmp=true` and `LockPersonality=true` as well.
* init/systemd/man-db.service.in: Add some hardening options. (This may
produce warnings with `systemd < 244`.)

Make the man-db manual build reproducible

Fix showing HTML, as firefox runs into background too fast
[cjwatson: I'm not 100% keen on this approach, since it randomly depends
on how long the browser happens to take to launch and might be a bit
annoying for users of light browsers such as w3m, but there doesn't seem
to be any other good alternative for the more common case of people
using typical graphical browsers.]
Fixes Debian bug #335411 and Savannah bug #59542.
* src/man.c (format_display): Sleep for a few seconds after starting the
browser, since it may background itself before loading files.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
