Changelog for
man-debuginfo-2.5.2-17.2.x86_64.rpm :
Fri Nov 28 13:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- For listall patch: add support for multiple man pages in the
same section (bnc#448283)
- Fix bug in listall patch: initialize variable len as this may
break on some system otherwise.
Thu Nov 20 13:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Skip mandocdb workaround as groff now works in UTF-8 (bnc#446710)
- Replace pipe(2) with socketpair(2) to speed up mandb (bnc#381830)
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Fix option handling for renice in cron script (bnc#431027)
Tue Aug 12 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 2.5.2
* `man -H\' (without a browser argument) was completely broken in
2.5.1 and is now fixed.
* man no longer breaks in Japanese locales when using less.
* The --encoding option to man can now take a true character
encoding rather than a
*roff device; the latter was an
unreliable, inflexible, and awkward way to select an output
encoding. The old semantics are still supported for backward
compatibility.
* Whatis parsing stops at .ie or .if conditionals.
* CJK locale specifications where the codeset component is
equivalent to but not stringwise-identical to UTF-8 (e.g.
zh_CN.utf8) are handled better.
* man(1)\'s OPTIONS section is ordered more comprehensibly.
* apropos, lexgrog, man, mandb, and whatis ignore encoding
conversion errors for the last possible encoding of the source
page. This helps, for example, with pages including misencoded
non-ASCII names of authors; it usually seems better to allow
these pages to pass with small errors than to break them
entirely.
Thu Jun 5 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Show the user if there are more than one manual page found for
the stated item (fate#303433)
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de

Wed Apr 23 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Use speedup for bnc#381830 only in mandb as man would be break
- Avoid trouble with -Wl,--as-needed therefore fore -lbz2 and -lz
Tue Apr 22 14:00:00 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de
- Make libzio interface smarter, that is if used only for simple
decompression do not use a pipe (saves 30% mandb run time)
(bnc#381830)
- Make cron.daily.do_mandb smarter, that is check if anything
has changes in the global manual paths that needs to run mandb
(bnc#381830)
- Update to bug fix version 2.5.1
* The manual is now built automatically, avoiding some ordering
problems on \'make distclean\'.
* Manual pages are converted to the proper input encoding for troff
output as well as nroff output.
* The -t, -T, -X, and -Z options to man work again; in 2.5.0, they
read input from stdin rather than from the manual page.
* apropos and whatis no longer segfault when given an explicit
locale using -L.
* man now understands that groff\'s ascii device takes ASCII input,
not ISO-8859-1.
* man no longer discards stderr when writing to a file or a pipe;
this was broken by an overenthusiastic change in 2.5.0.
* manconv now falls back to the next encoding in its list if any
characters in an entire 64KB block fail to decode using the
current encoding, as was originally intended.
* manconv is more careful about extracting coding: directives from
manual pages.
* Ctrl-C and Ctrl-\\ now work again at the prompt issued by \'man -a\'.
* There is a new --with-sections configure option to change the
default value of SECTION in the configuration file.
* Automake is now used to generate Makefiles. Among other things,
this fixes VPATH builds and some bugs in dependency generation,
and should allow building with non-GNU versions of make.
* man-db now uses the Gnulib portability library, allowing the
removal of earlier haphazard portability code. While this results
in a somewhat larger source distribution, it makes man-db easier
to maintain and should make it easier to build on systems to which
the maintainer does not have access.
* In the process of switching to Gnulib, the last vestiges of
pre-C89 support have been removed; they were documented to be
broken anyway.
* If the MANROFFOPT environment variable is set, man now appends its
value to the
*roff command line.
* man now accepts a --recode option to output a source manual page
converted to a specified encoding.
* For compatibility with System V, man accepts -s as an alias for
- S, and permits sections to be comma-separated as well as
colon-separated.
* man now accepts a --warnings option to enable groff warnings.
