Changelog
man-db (2.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Simplify some debhelper overrides slightly.
* debian/upstream/metadata: Update for upstream move to GitLab.
* Add section 0 to default search list (closes: #1004248).
* New upstream snapshot:
- Document MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP and PIPELINE_DEBUG environment variables
in man(1) (closes: #941622).
- Add man-pages(7) reference to man(1) (closes: #974174).
- lexgrog now produces output in the user's locale (closes: #970482).
- 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 (closes: #998426).
- Significantly improve mandb(8) and "man -K" performance in the common
case where pages are of moderate size and compressed using zlib
(closes: #630799, #1003089; LP: #1858777).
- 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 (closes: #1004355,
LP: #1411633).
- 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 (closes: #691643).
