  • man-db (2.7.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * New upstream release:
        - Be more careful to avoid using or double-closing closed database
          handles.  Fixes test suite failures on some systems.
        - Patch the fdutimens function imported from Gnulib to work around a
          libc bug in GNU/Hurd.
      * Stop removing /usr/bin/man and /usr/bin/mandb on prerm remove, as those
        symlinks are shipped in the package nowadays (thanks, Sven Joachim;
        closes: #762704).

  • man-db (2.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * New upstream release:
        - Reimplement 'apropos --and' in a way that works with the optimisations
          introduced in 2.6.2 (closes: #678670).
        - Clarify that whatis displays one-line descriptions, rather than e.g.
          the contents of DESCRIPTION sections (closes: #713992).
        - Downgrade EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors from attempts to open a database
          read-write to debug messages (closes: #684235).
      * Switch to git (thanks to reposurgeon for helping with the tricky
        stitching involved); adjust Vcs-* fields.
      * Policy version 3.9.5: no changes required.
      * Set VERBOSE=1 when running tests so that Automake will print test logs
        on failure.

  • man-db (2.6.5-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Drop obsolete dpkg version check in cron jobs; the version in question
        predates oldstable, and man-db pre-depends on a newer version anyway
        (closes: #731687).
      * Silence errors caused by cron.daily racing with mandb (closes: #734063).

  • man-db (2.6.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Backport from trunk:
        - Attempt fallback locales even if /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED exists.
          (It may exist but none of the UTF-8 locales mentioned it in may be
          present; nevertheless, C.UTF-8 may be available.)

  • man-db (2.6.3-7) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Build-depend on debhelper (>= 9~) directly rather than requiring a
        Lintian override for use of 8.9.0.
      * Temporarily drop -Werror from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE options and backport
        patches to handle the Automake parallel test harness, working around
        warnings caused by the version of Gnulib currently in use here (closes:
        #710309).

  • man-db (2.6.3-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Switch triggers to interest-noawait, since they are non-essential for
        the triggering packages (closes: #707129).
    
     -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>  Tue, 07 May 2013 20:49:47 +0100
  • man-db (2.6.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Support parallel builds.
      * Handle incompatible change to option string escaping in less 456
        (closes: #695459).
