Changelog for man-debugsource-2.12.0-5.1.i586.rpm :

* Mon Feb 19 2024 Dr. Werner Fink - We don\'t need anymore systemd-tmpfiles (boo#1219370#c13)
* Mon Feb 12 2024 Dr. Werner Fink - Move creation of /var/cache/man into %pre scriplet (boo#1219370)
* Thu Feb 08 2024 Dr. Werner Fink - Make lua scriplets more failsafe (boo#1219370)
* Fri Jan 26 2024 Dr. Werner Fink - Skip posttrans dependency on systemd to support container without systemd (boo#1215538)- Use %(trans)filetriggerin and %(trans)filetriggerpostun to get an uptodate man database for installed manual pages
* Sun Oct 01 2023 Antonio Teixeira - Update to 2.12.0:
* Fix some manual page portability issues with groff 1.23.0.
* Fix test failures when a working `iconv` is not available.
* Ensure that timestamps read from the database can go past the year 2038, even on systems where this is not the default.
* Fix `manpath` not parsing `PATH` entries with trailing slash correctly for guessing `MANPATH` entries.
* More accurately document the behaviour of passing file names as arguments to `man` without the `-l`/`--local-file` option.
* Avoid duplicate cleanup of old cat pages by both `man-db.service` and `systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service`. Improvements:
* Update system call lists in `seccomp` sandbox from `systemd`.
* Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202307`.
* Work around the Firebuild accelerator in `seccomp` sandbox: if this is in use then we need to allow some socket-related system calls.
* `man -K` now deduplicates search results that point to the same page.
* Warn if `mandb` drops to `--user-db` mode due to running as the wrong user.
* Change section title recommendations in `man(1)` to mention `STANDARDS` rather than `CONFORMING TO`, in line with `man-pages(7)`.
* Add a `STANDARDS` section to `man(1)` itself.
* Document that `man -K` may suffer from false negatives as well as false positives.
* Take advantage of newer `groff` facilities to implement `man - -no-hyphenation` and `man --no-justification`, if available.
* `man -f` and `man -k` now pass any `-r`/`--regex` or `-w`/`--wildcard` options on to `whatis` and `apropos` respectively.
* Always pass a line length to `nroff`, even if we believe that it matches the default.
* Allow disabling `groff` warnings via `man --warnings`, by prefixing a warning name with `!`.- Drop man-db-groff-1.23.0-warnings.patch- Refresh man-db-2.9.4.patch
* Fri Sep 08 2023 Antonio Teixeira - Add man-db-groff-1.23.0-warnings.patch
* Fix build errors with groff 1.23.0
* Sat Aug 26 2023 Avinesh Kumar - Fix the content in patch file man-propose-online.patch
* Tue Aug 15 2023 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to 2.11.2:
* Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`.
* Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed.
* Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats.
* SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing `less` prompts.
* Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with a nonexistent cache directory.
* `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis references are from a section with higher priority.
* `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached whatis information.
* Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11.
* The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH` and `MAXCATWIDTH`.
* Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were entries for the ultimate source of the page. They are now stored with the correct type.
* Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link rather than of the ultimate source file.
* Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching, and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases.
* `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff` does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page\'s preprocessor string.
* Fix building on MinGW. (I haven\'t been able to test this; help from MinGW experts would be welcome.) Improvements:
* Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were changed.
* Add section `3type` to the default section list just after `2`. This is used by the Linux man-pages package.
* Recognize more Hungarian translations of the `NAME` section.
* Add more recognized case variants for localized versions of the `NAME` section.
* Maintain multi keys in sorted order, improving database reproducibility.
* Pick a more consistent name for the target of a whatis entry in the database.
* Extend rules for when to replace one database entry with another, producing more stable behaviour.
* Fully reorganize databases after writing them, allowing the reproduction of bitwise-identical databases regardless of scan order (at least with GDBM).- Port patches
* man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-no-chown.patch
* man-db-2.9.4.patch
* man-propose-online.patch
* Thu May 25 2023 Dr. Werner Fink - Remove harden_man-db.service.patch as already done upstream at the end of the service file man-db.service
* Mon Apr 03 2023 Dominique Leuenberger - Add man-propose-online.patch: if patch was not found locally, propose to read it online, offering a URL where it could possibly be found.
* Tue Aug 23 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Corrrect some offsets of patch hunks- Remove change in get-mtime.c as mandb-symlink-target-timestamp now catch the random format changes
* Mon Aug 22 2022 Dirk Müller - update to 2.10.2:
* Regenerating man-db\'s build system now explicitly requires Automake >= 1.14. (This was already the case since at least man-db 2.10.0, but was previously undocumented.)
* Make `man -H` sleep for a few seconds after starting the browser, since it may background itself before loading files (Dr. Werner Fink).
* If an override directory is configured using `--with-override-dir`, it is now applied more consistently when building the manpath, and whether a page was found in an override directory is considered when sorting candidates for display (Mihail Konev).
* Make the man-db manual build reproducible.
* Add some hardening options to the `systemd` service.
* `configure` now has a `--with-snapdir` option, for use on systems where `snapd` is configured to use a directory other than `/snap`.
* Fix occasional `mandb-symlink-target-timestamp` test failure.
* Fix inadvertent reliance on a GCC extension that caused build failures with Clang.
* Fix building without `iconv`.- drop man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif (upstream)
* Thu Aug 18 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Avoid that mandb-symlink-target-timestamp fools us
* Thu Aug 18 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Workaround missing groff-full to get refer(1), the bibliographic preprocessor found
* Thu Aug 18 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to man-db 2.10.0 (4 February 2022)
* Manpath deduplication no longer mishandles the case where another entry in the manpath is a suffix of a candidate path to append.
* Fix potential crash in path searching if `getcwd` fails for reasons other than running out of memory.
* Fix crash in `globbing` test tool if run with no non-option arguments.
* `lexgrog` now produces output in the user\'s locale.
* Downgrade \"malformed .lf request\" warning to a debug message and rephrase it somewhat, since `.lf` requests can use `
*roff` arithmetic expressions and we can\'t reasonably parse those.
* Avoid modifying the database without changing its mtime, which had been possible since 2.7.0 if `mandb`\'s purge phase found work to do but the main phase didn\'t, and which confused some backup systems into reporting possible filesystem corruption.
* `man` no longer inadvertently modifies the `MANSECT` environment variable before passing it on to its subprocesses.
* `mandb` now stores the mtime of link targets as the mtime of their corresponding database entries, rather than sometimes storing the mtime of the link instead.
* Since man-db 2.4.2, `man` has behaved as if the `-l` option was given if a manual page argument contains a slash. Since man-db 2.5.6, this has interacted slightly poorly with the subpage feature, emitting spurious error messages if given multiple manual page arguments some of which include a slash. `man` no longer emits spurious error messages in this case.
* Reduce overhead of `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1` compared to building without `libseccomp`.
* Document `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP` and `PIPELINE_DEBUG` environment variables in `man(1)`.
* Add `man-pages(7)` reference to `man(1)`.
* Recognize Arabic and Persian translations of the `NAME` section.
* Delay the `systemd` timer using `RandomizedDelaySec`, so that multiple containers/VMs on the same host are less prone to running `mandb` all at the same time.
* Significantly improve `mandb(8)` and `man -K` performance in the common case where pages are of moderate size and compressed using `zlib`: `mandb - c` goes from 344 seconds to 10 seconds on a test system.- Remove patch man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif as now upstream creates any missing database- Remove gnulib-ppc64le.patch as gnulib is uptodate even on ppc64le- Port patches
* man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-man0.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-no-chown.patch

* Mon May 31 2021 Stefan Schubert - Add patch man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif
* Supporting ALSO new `alternatives` which has the same tasks as `update-alternatives` but in a simplier way.
* Mon May 31 2021 Ferdinand Thiessen - Update to version 2.9.4:
* Add support for zstd-compressed manual pages
* Recognise Esperanto, Romanian, Tamil, and Ukrainian translations of the NAME section.
* Fix handling of \\- in the right-hand side of a NAME section.
* Treat \"\\[en]\" (etc.) as another synonym for \"\\-\" in NAME sections, alongside the existing \"\\(en\" (etc.).
* Avoid incorrect markup in man(1) with po4a >= 0.58.
* Fix manual page translation infrastructure to compare po4a versions with more than two components correctly.
* Fix \"man -X75-12\" and \"man -X100-12\" to set the document font size as well as the device
* Fix incompatibility of \"man -X\" and friends with the seccomp sandbox.
* man --recode and manconv now adjust encoding declarations on the first line of their input to refer to the new encoding.
* There is a new \"man-recode\" program. Which has an interface designed for bulk conversion and so can be much faster when used on a large number of pages.
* Fix comparison of candidate manual pages to correctly handle the case where the language elements are the same and match the locale, but the territory elements differ.
* If run with no arguments or only a section, man now suggests running \"man man\".
* man now understands the (
) form on its command line, so for example \"man \'chmod(2)\'\" is now the same as \"man 2 chmod\".
* manconv now guesses the input encoding based on the file name if it is not explicitly specified.
* Further workarounds for ESET File Security: allow sendmsg when it is in use.
* If more than one of \"../man\", \"man\", \"../share/man\", and \"share/man\" exist relative to a directory on $PATH, then all of them are now added to the automatically-determined manpath
* Remove arbitrary limit on manpath size.
* Fix several resource and memory leaks.
* Ship a systemd timer to perform daily database maintenance.
* Fix segfaults in mandb.- Drop our systemd timer in favor of upstream provided one- Drop unused mancoding- Drop upstream fixed man-db-2.6.3-section.dif- Merge man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif into man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif as first one is only the documentation of the latter one- Seperate man-db-2.9.4-no-chown.patch from man-db-2.8.4.dif- Update man-db-2.8.4.dif, now called man-db-2.9.4.patch- Update man-db-2.6.3-man0.dif to be used inside prep section- Refresh man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif, man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
* Fri Jan 22 2021 Dirk Müller - require only glibc-locale-base
