Changelog for man-2.10.2-7.2.i586.rpm :

* 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
* man-db-2.9.4.patch
* reproducible.patch
* Mon Aug 15 2022 - syntax correction of the preinstall scriptlet to avoid creation of file /0 (bnc#1202377)
* Thu Aug 11 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add patch gnulib-ppc64le.patch
* Support ppc64le float128 transition
* Thu Aug 11 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Drop usage of update-alternatives as mandoc does not use it (nor libalternative)
* Sat May 07 2022 Marcus Meissner - switch source url to https
* Wed Oct 06 2021 Johannes Segitz - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Added patch(es):
* harden_man-db.service.patch Modified:
* man-db-create.service
* Fri Aug 06 2021 Dr. Werner Fink - Add manpath.sh and manpath.csh below /usr/etc/profile.d
* 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
* Fri Sep 11 2020 Antoine Belvire - Add migration code to handle upgrade from old version of the man package not supporting alternative path move (boo#1175919).
* Sun Aug 30 2020 Antoine Belvire - Fix usage of update-alternatives (boo#1175919).
* Thu Aug 27 2020 Ludwig Nussel - Don\'t recommend groff-full to avoid pulling in ghostscript etc. groff-full installs itself when there\'s groff and ghostscript-library installed.
* Thu Aug 27 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Set libexecdir at build time for wrapper (boo#1175813)- Do the same in mandb.service
* Mon Jun 15 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Allow user man to execute the do_mandb script (boo#1172876)

* Sun May 17 2020 Andreas Stieger - add upstream signing keys and verify source signature
* Thu Jan 09 2020 Ludwig Nussel - Don\'t mark /etc/alternatives files as %config as that would lead to stale symlinks on uninstall
