Changes:
man-db (2.5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
- Remove /usr/X11R6/man from MANDATORY_MANPATH (closes: #413349).
- man now supports the MANPAGER environment variable, overriding PAGER.
- Resolve ambiguous error message when asking for a nonexistent manual
page that might also be a section name (closes: #421481).
- MANSEC -> MANSECT in German man(1) and catman(8) (closes: #430635).
- Truncate apropos/whatis output to the terminal width by default
(closes: #411721).
- lexgrog now ignores alleged manual page names containing spaces, as
these usually indicate parsing errors or ill-formed NAME sections and
they clutter up apropos output badly.
- Discard stderr from formatting processes when outputting to a pager,
to avoid visual corruption from any error messages (closes: #372939).
- Disallow sectional extensions of alphabetic sections, e.g. n and l
from the default configuration (closes: #391977), and sectional
extensions beginning with a digit (closes: #421481).
- Suppress warnings in --quiet mode (closes: #348008, #378428, #411220;
also closes: #334280 since that suggestion is no longer relevant).
- If MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING is set in the environment, don't strip
formatting characters with col (closes: #340673).
- Implement and use a decompression library. This allows cat pages to be
saved in the background while the pager is active (closes: #18452) and
operation with a read-only /tmp (closes: #165499).
- Add a configuration file flag (NOCACHE) to disable cat page caching
(closes: #196642).
- Add output keys to a hashtable, and skip any that have already been
seen (closes: #259338).
- Execute system utilities by command name rather than by full path
(closes: #385651).
- Add apropos -a/--and option to display only items matching all
keywords (closes: #259340).
- Adjust Finnish translation of "No manual entry for %s"
(closes: #320108).
- Create and use databases for non-English manual hierarchies
(closes: #29448, #281811).
- Improve per-locale directory handling. Directories such as "fr.UTF-8"
may be used for occasions when it is appropriate to specify the
character set but not the country, and so a full locale name is
inconvenient.
- There is a new "manconv" program which can try multiple possible
encodings for a file, thus allowing UTF-8 manual pages to be installed
in any directory even without an explicit encoding declaration.
- Don't escape the hierarchy path while globbing; it isn't necessary and
it causes problems for paths containing metacharacters
(closes: #444187).
* Use new configure options for external programs rather than hardcoding
them in configure.ac.
* Remove code in debian/rules to fiddle manual page paths for Debian,
since the default of $LL.UTF-8 is now reasonable. (An
announcement/discussion about what other Debian packages should do will
be forthcoming shortly.)
* Build-depend on zlib1g-dev so that we use zlib rather than gzip to
decompress gzipped manual pages.
