- 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,

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).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Fri, 03 Jan 2014 12:45:10 +0000
-
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.)
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:18:32 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- man's --warnings option works again on systems with versions of groff
that support it (broken in 2.6.4). This broke Lintian's test suite.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Thu, 27 Jun 2013 11:59:34 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Document default section list in manual pages (closes: #611007).
- Quieten most warnings from compiling Gnulib (closes: #668429).
- The MANLESS environment variable is now treated as if it were a
default value for the -r option to man: occurrences of the text
"$MAN_PN" are expanded, and explicitly using the -r option overrides
the default (closes: #690831).
* Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' in maintainer scripts.
* Remove maintainer script support for direct upgrades from pre-etch
(three releases before current stable).
* Breaks/Replaces manpages-zh (<< 1.5.2-1.1); man-db now ships zh_CN
translations formerly included there.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 24 Jun 2013 11:34:02 +0100
-
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).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:43:15 +0100
-
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 (2.6.3-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix trigger handling following cleanup of postinst output.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 07 May 2013 13:11:47 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.3-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Make postinst output clearer about whether the database is being rebuilt
(e.g. due to man-db/auto-update=false).
* Drop handling of option string escaping in less 456, since the
incompatible change has been reverted upstream (thanks, Geoffrey Thomas;
closes: #706916). I've chosen to drop the Breaks entirely as it's a bit
too heavyweight for a relatively minor display bug.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 07 May 2013 09:45:40 +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).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sun, 16 Dec 2012 12:18:23 +0000
-
man-db (2.6.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Use xz compression for binary packages.
* Use dh-autoreconf.
* Link with -Wl,--enable-new-dtags, so that LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be used to
override our private library directory.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:33:34 +0000
-
man-db (2.6.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Build with V=1 so that tools such as blhc can scan more effectively for
missing build flags.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 00:04:24 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Optimise apropos when given many arguments (LP: #927028).
- apropos prints an error message and returns non-zero when it finds no
matches (closes: #672661).
- Avoid fatal errors when opening a 64-bit GDBM database from a 32-bit
process (LP: #1001189).
* Configure with --with-xz=xz --with-lzip=lzip.
* Adjust debian/watch to track .tar.xz releases.
* Convert debian/copyright to copyright-format 1.0.
* Override hardening-no-fortify-functions Lintian warning for
/usr/bin/manpath, as a false positive.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 22:56:56 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

spurious blank line (closes: #628639).
- Create a cache directory tag, per http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/
(closes: #637046).
- Alphabetise "SEE ALSO" references and remove trailing full stops, per
man-pages(7) (closes: #651482).
- Update German manual page translations (closes: #494066, #596104,
#624096).
* Install FAQ.
* Update debian/copyright.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:53:58 +0000
-
man-db (2.6.0.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Discard stderr from dpkg-query in cron jobs (LP: #783903).
* Make man-db Multi-Arch: foreign.
* Upgrade to debhelper v9 and its new arrangements for honouring
dpkg-buildflags output.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:33:33 +0000
-
man-db (2.6.0.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Add debconf translations: - Serbian (thanks, Zlatan Todoric; closes: #635062). - Serbian (Latin) (thanks, Zlatan Todoric; closes: #635063). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sat, 23 Jul 2011 11:27:50 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release: - Fix a segfault when scanning links to empty pages (closes: #622104). - Once we've seen at least one record in a page's NAME section, ignore any further records that don't include a whatis description, as they tend to be noise. * Remove unnecessary .la files (closes: #622443). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:27:13 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release, fixing test failures in 2.6.0 (closes: #621867): - Ensure that the target of a symlink or .so chain is always recorded as a real page. - Read a user-specified configuration file even if HOME is unset. -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 23:09:47 +0100
-
man-db (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release: - Search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages. As part of this, '.so name.1' should now work as well as '.so man1/name.1' (closes: #503472, LP: #411534). - Handle roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections (closes: #601025). - Don't start a pager if stdout is not a tty. - Allow passing multiple sections to whatis and apropos (closes: #571285). - Provide byte positions in manconv errors (closes: #562789). - Make mandb error output neater when stderr is not a tty. - Fix failure to display manual pages in some encodings when installed setuid. - Don't ignore SIGPIPE while forking iconv (closes: #597756). - Remove obsolete subdirectories of cat directories (closes: #558804). - If mandb sees that A is a symlink to B, it should never store a whatis reference for B (closes: #204249). - Print commas in roman rather than bold (thanks, David Prévot; closes: #600002). - Consider .PD requests as paragraph breaks (closes: #611012). - Reset SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL on startup, to avoid noisy output in the event that mandb was started from a context where SIGPIPE was ignored. - SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the system configuration file, rather than appending to them. - If the user asked for an explicit section, sort exact matches first. - Rewrite all remaining subprocess handling in terms of libpipeline, especially some crash-prone code in catman (LP: #27738). - The default less prompt now includes "(press h for help or q to quit)" to help novices find their way around (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25975). - Fix a segfault when 'man -K' tries to display certain pages. - Fix a segfault in some situations when processes are killed by SIGHUP, SIGINT, or SIGTERM (LP: #218336). * Avoid unnecessary metadata writes to /var/cache/man when doing recursive chown (thanks, Iustin Pop; closes: #619726). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sat, 09 Apr 2011 17:59:40 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.9-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Add debconf translations: - Slovak (thanks, Slavko; closes: #609347). * Fix test failure with groff 1.21. * Upload to unstable. -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 10:35:20 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.7-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Avoid assertion if no path elements with manpaths were found (closes: #608490). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 03 Jan 2011 01:13:19 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.7-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from 2.5.8: - Warnings about unrecognised locales are now suppressed if the DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION environment variable is set (i.e. man-db is running within a Debian package's maintainer script), since the system locales are often out of sync with the C library in that context. Thanks to the Debian Perl maintainers for the idea (closes: #605790). -- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:39:38 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.7-6) unstable; urgency=low
* Move po/fr.gmo aside during build so that it gets regenerated based on
translation-fr.patch, and build-depend directly on gettext for this
(closes: #598066).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:59:18 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.7-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from hardening-includes, since man and mandb are
optionally setuid man.
* Update French translation from Translation Project (thanks, David
Prévot; closes: #598621).
* Make sure that man/po4a/po/* are kept unchanged during a
patch/build/clean cycle.
* Update French documentation translation from Translation Project
(thanks, David Prévot; closes: #598066).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 05 Oct 2010 14:44:06 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.7-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- Fix a regression introduced in 2.5.7 when running catman in some
locales, most notably in the C locale: while converting the output to
UTF-8, iconv was run after the compressor rather than before it
(closes: #593350, LP: #615045).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:54:04 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.7-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove unused build-dependency on gettext.
* Check for VxID as well as envID in /proc/self/status (closes: #579551).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:06:49 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.7-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Add a watch file.
* Backport from trunk:
- Fix assertion failure on 'man -l' with an uncompressed page and
prefixed input (no-hyphenation, no-justification, or a non-English
page).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:19:25 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Make man(1) refer to the "Warnings" node in 'info groff' for a list of
available warning names (closes: #545805).
- Don't run tests if cross-compiling.
- Add option to disable justification (closes: #440047).
- Do what the user probably means when the full path to an executable is
given as an argument (closes: #505465).
- Search man<sec><ext> directories in the GNU layout (closes: #519807).
- Prefer getting a page from the best manual section over getting a page
in the correct language; I have my reservations about this, but it
seems to be what people are requesting (closes: #519547).
- 'man -f' and 'man -k' now pass through any -s option to apropos/whatis
respectively.
- All programs now support a MAN_DEBUG environment variable which can be
used in place of the -d/--debug option. This is useful in some
situations where a program is being called deep in a process tree.
- Fix off-by-one error when write returns EAGAIN (thanks, Samuel
Thibault; closes: #564818).
- "%s: nothing appropriate." is an error; write it to stderr, not stdout
(closes: #565255).
- Don't bother printing error messages for SIGINT and SIGQUIT, since
these correspond to explicit user actions (closes: #568000).
- Fix sense of directory check while decompressing (closes: #537434).
- Always save cat pages in UTF-8 (closes: #446741).
* Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt).

man-db (2.5.6-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove Ubuntu buildd hack now that the Ubuntu buildd chroots preseed
man-db/auto-update=false (thanks, LaMont Jones).
* Backport from trunk:
- Handle iconv errors when attempting to convert the last input encoding
to UTF-8 (closes: #562503).
* Unless we're cross-compiling, get dh_installman to use the version of
man we just built.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Fri, 01 Jan 2010 13:27:06 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- If the locale encoding is ASCII, then use the ascii device even if
preconv is available; it will do a better job than producing UTF-8
output and then recoding that to ASCII (closes: #547695).
- Include <unistd.h> in src/encodings.c for dup and STDIN_FILENO
(closes: #553623).
- When invoking col, ensure that LC_CTYPE is set to an appropriate
locale for the selected character set (closes: #555331).
* Add man-db/auto-update debconf template, which may be preseeded to false
to disable rebuilding the database when man-db is triggered (closes:
#554914).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:58:25 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.6-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't try to change I/O priority in an OpenVZ container (closes:
#546680). Approach borrowed from virt-what.
* Backport from trunk:
- When a source pipeline dies, make sure to drain its output before
discarding its output file descriptor (closes: #548153).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:38:56 +0100

-
man-db (2.5.5-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Use dh_lintian.
* Fix locale_macros groff version test not to think that 1.20.1 >= 1.20.2.
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:00:03 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Run the (as yet rather small) test suite on build.
* Build-depend on po4a (closes: #530897).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Thu, 28 May 2009 23:24:33 +0100
-
man-db (2.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Fix an uninitialised variable when sorting manual page candidates that
could lead to excessive memory allocation and possible crashes
(thanks, Dustin Marquess; closes: #519647).
- man(1): Fix missing backslash in -r default (thanks, Will Day; closes:
#519162).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:32:45 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- Fix handling of pages that declare a non-default encoding in their
preprocessor lines. Thanks to Hugo Herbelin for some of the ideas here
(closes: #519095).
-- Colin Watson <email address hidden> Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:51:44 +0000
-
man-db (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Exit as soon as possible if database writes return ENOSPC (closes:
#167159).
- Make it possible to override man's default of discarding stderr when
stdout is a terminal (closes: #480996).
- Reorganise lexgrog to stop on any unrecognised roff request, rather
than continuing and often littering the database with garbage (closes:
#271402).
- Make handling of terminal widths for cat pages configurable (closes:
#121997).
- Improve sorting and de-duplication of manual page candidates (closes:
#389762, #496172).
- Consider SO_MAN equivalent to ULT_MAN for the purposes of sorting
candidate pages for display (closes: #384301).
- Add regular expression and shell wildcard search facilities to man
(closes: #461319).
- Add option to disable hyphenation (closes: #166701).
- Line length is a property of output, not input, so only check whether
standard output is a terminal, not also standard input (closes:
#512233).
- Partially rewrite building of manpath according to locale. The
previous code was completely wrong: as well as handling duplicates
rather oddly, it effectively handled LANGUAGE in reverse order
(closes: #516133).

man-db (2.5.2-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- Update manual page search order to permit FHS-compliant installation
of packages in /opt. Reported by Matt Domsch.

-
man-db (2.5.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Remove premature optimisation that
sometimes caused us to write incomplete output.
- src/encodings.c (add_manconv): Always use manconv even if iconv could
theoretically do the job, as manconv has slightly more permissive
behaviour that is generally more suitable for converting manual page
source (closes: #498082).
