Fri Sep 7 19:28:12 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * Version: 2.3.20. * docs/NEWS: Update. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update. Fri Sep 7 00:55:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Include other manpage.example formats. * lib/tempfile.c (create_tempfile): Create with mode 0600. * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Drop privileges for temporary file operations. * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Likewise. * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Likewise. * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise. (straycats): Likewise. * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Likewise. Thu Sep 6 21:54:05 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * include/Defines.in: Add lexgrog to list of transformed program names. Adjust sysconfdir detection. * src/Makefile.in (install): Really install lexgrog by default. Create the directory config_file is in rather than sysconfdir. Wed Sep 5 19:55:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Generate a .tar.gz, not a .tgz. * src/man.c: Korean: roff_device is ascii8, LESSCHARSET is iso8859. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update. Wed Sep 5 03:42:18 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/compression.c (decompress): Constify arguments. * include/manconfig.h.in: Likewise. * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Deal with '-' and compressed files. * man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (DESCRIPTION): Document this. (BUGS): Remove (optimism ...). (NOTES): New section. lexgrog can't parse .so requests. * src/Makefile.in: Really build lexgrog by default, and add some objects. Wed Sep 5 02:02:20 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes. * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Document --html. (ENVIRONMENT): Document $BROWSER. * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Explain that --create implies --no-purge. Tue Sep 4 18:38:23 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (format_display): If $BROWSER contains several elements separated by colons, try each in turn until one succeeds. Tue Sep 4 02:09:07 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (format_display): Actually change to the temporary directory for HTML output. * src/mandb.c (main): --create implies --no-purge. Sat Sep 1 17:40:06 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * lib/mkdtemp.c, lib/mkstemp.c, lib/tempname.c: New files, taken from glibc 2.2.4. * lib/Makefile.in, lib/README: Add them. * configure.in: Check for mkdtemp() and mkstemp(). * lib/tempfile.c (path_search): New function, split from create_tempfile(). Now checks $TMP as well as $TMPDIR, and ensures that neither is checked when privileges are raised. (create_tempfile): Use it. Fix the umask around the call to mkstemp() rather than calling fchmod() after the fact. (create_tempdir): New function. * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype create_tempdir(). * src/man.c: --html code needs to be guarded by TROFF_IS_GROFF. (man_getopt): If -H is given, set troff to 1. Add -H to the "incompatible options" error message. (make_roff_command): Revert determine_lang_table() special case. (format_display): Use a temporary directory for HTML output (groff tends to output several files, including images). Take an extra argument, used to set the name of the main output file. (display): Pass man_file to format_display(). * src/util.c (remove_directory): New function. * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype it. Fri Aug 31 22:20:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Initial support for ESR's $BROWSER variable. Not complete yet. * src/man.c: Remove ENABLE_HTML guards around all the --html code. Too many #ifdefs clutter the code, and it should at least be usable to some extent now. (main): Check $BROWSER before other ways of finding html_pager. (man_getopt): If -H is given, set roff_device to "html". Reset htmlout and html_pager with -D. (make_roff_command): Don't call determine_lang_table() if htmlout is set. (make_browser): New function. (make_display_command): Add case for htmlout being set. (format_display_and_save): Rename roff_cmd to format_cmd. (display_catman): Likewise. (display): Likewise. Add some cases for htmlout being set (always format, never save a cat page). Split some code out into format_display(). (format_display): New function. * src/man.c (main): Save the value of $LESS for later. (make_display_command): Use setenv() to change $LESS in the environment rather than nasty shell code. * src/man.c (main): Don't loop if $LANGUAGE is set but empty. (display_catman): Fix segfaults due to strappend() misuse. * src/manp.c (read_config_file): Print dotmanpath, not home (which might point to freed memory). * src/man.c (main): Tidy up error message. (store_line_length): Remove duplicate 'int width' declaration. Wed Aug 29 20:44:27 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/man8/mandb.man8 (WHATIS PARSING): Move to ... * man/man1/lexgrog.man1: ... here. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Run msgmerge. Wed Aug 29 01:48:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/man1/apropos.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Fix grammar error. Wed Aug 29 01:34:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l (usage): New function. (main): Rewrite. Add command-line options, and make the output more easily parseable by other programs. By default, the lexgrog program now only attempts to parse its input as a man page and only displays the whatis line, although this can be changed on the command line. * src/Makefile.in: Include lexgrog in $(PROGS), so that it gets built by default and linked against version.o. * man/man1/lexgrog.man1: New man page. Still needs some work. * man/Makefile.in: Install it. Tolerate it being missing in some languages (ugly hack). Tue Aug 21 01:57:44 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/Makefile.in: Link non-setuid programs against fake_security.o rather than security.o. * src/fake_security.c: Add a few stub variables to match recent security.c changes. Tue Aug 21 01:34:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/Makefile.in (install): Don't depend on all, so that the package isn't recompiled when running 'make install' on a machine with a skewed clock. Don't install the wrapper. Install man and mandb in $(bindir) rather than $(libdir)/man-db. If lexgrog and globbing have been built, install them in $(libdir)/man-db rather than $(sbindir). Ensure $(sbindir) and $(libdir)/man-db exist. Tue Aug 21 00:40:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (escape_special): Rename to escape_less(). Constify argument. (determine_lang_table): Constify argument. Unify some common code. (make_display_common): Use escape_less() rather than escape_special(). * docs/NEWS: Document shell escaping. Sun Aug 19 23:56:36 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Compile with -Wall by default. * src/compression.c: Include "security.h". * src/manp.c: Likewise. * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_whatis): Correct return value when purging a WHATIS_MAN entry with a missing target. * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Remove unused variables 'pointer' and 'ext'. * src/man.c: Include <time.h> for time(). (local_man_loop): Remove unused variable 'dir'. (make_roff_command): Remove unused variable 'tmpfile'. (exist_check): Print 'loc' in pointer format rather than string format (it's a struct mandata *). * src/wrapper.c: Include <grp.h> for initgroups(). Sun Aug 19 13:16:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/manp.c (iterate_over_list): New function (get_from_list() can only get the first matching element). (get_manpath): Use iterate_over_list() to get multiple matching MANPATH_MAP entries. Sun Aug 19 13:02:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (popen, pclose): Rely on the BROKEN_PCLOSE check in configure rather than checking architectures here. (man_getopt): Wrap the remaining code related to --html in '#ifdef ENABLE_HTML'. (make_roff_command): Remove HAS_TROFF and NROFF_MISSING asserts; I think they're unnecessarily unwieldy here. (tmp_cat_filename): Constify argument. (commit_tmp_cat): Constify arguments. (display_catman): New function, split from display(). (display): Use display_catman(). Don't shadow status from an outer scope. (try_section): Simplify cat page case. * src/util.c (escape_shell): New function. * include/manconfig.h.in: strappend() is no longer in util.c. Prototype escape_shell(). * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use escape_shell() liberally to protect against strange characters. (make_display_command): Likewise. Add special handling for $MAN_PN in the less prompt string, since the environment variable is no longer parsed by the shell. (display_catman): Likewise. (display): Likewise. * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Likewise. * src/catman.c (main): Print a warning if setlocale() fails. * src/man.c (main): Likewise. * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise. * src/manpath.c (main): Likewise. * src/whatis.c (main): Likewise. * src/wrapper.c (main): Explain why this doesn't need to warn if setlocale() fails. Thu Aug 9 15:10:26 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Require autoconf 2.50a (for AS_VAR_*). * src/wrapper.c: If DEBUG is defined, allow _man and _mandb as argv[0] names as well as man and mandb, rather than instead of them. * docs/NEWS: Document lexgrog improvement. The mkstemp() work was more an improvement than a fix, as I don't think it was exploitable. Mon Aug 6 02:22:38 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l: groff requests aren't case-sensitive, so stop the preprocessor detection thinking they are. Mon Aug 6 01:26:26 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * lib/tempfile.c (create_tempfile): Use mode 0644 rather than mode 0600 so that it can be read with different privilege levels. Thu Aug 2 00:12:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * lib/tempfile.c: New file. create_tempfile() does sane mkstemp()-like temporary file creation, while searching through $TMPDIR, P_tmpdir, and /tmp in the style of tempnam(). * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype create_tempfile(). * lib/tempnam.c: Remove, as we no longer use it. * lib/Makefile.in, lib/README: Remove mentions of tempnam.c, and use tempfile.c instead. * configure.in: Don't replace tempnam(). * src/compression.c (create_ztemp): Use create_tempfile() rather than tempnam(). * src/man.c (create_stdintmp): Likewise. * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (open_file): Likewise. * src/straycats.c (straycats): Use create_tempfile() rather than mkstemp(). * src/compression.c (decompress): Call remove_ztemp() rather than duplicating code. (remove_ztemp): Only close the fd if it looks valid. * src/man.c (remove_stdintmp): Remember to free stdin_tmpfile. * acinclude.m4: Correct AC_VAR_* to AS_VAR_*. * src/util.c (is_changed): Fix comment. * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.3.20. Tue Jul 24 02:17:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/manpage.example: Some cleanups. Use more conventional formatting for references to other man pages. * docs/manpage.example.pod, docs/manpage.example.sgml: New files. Mon Jul 16 16:42:46 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l: Restore fr_name to the NAME regex. Fri Jul 13 11:51:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/de_DE.ascii: Remove (Latin-1 variant still exists). Fri Jul 13 02:35:39 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * */.cvsignore: New files. * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Look up the correct character set each time a page is displayed, not just the first time. Thu Jul 12 01:11:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l: Split out NAME-matching regex into one regex per language. Add support for cs, fi, hu, nl, and pl, not forgetting Latin (for Lingua::Romana::Perligata(3pm), of course). (add_separator_to_whatis): New function, to allow trimming the first space from the " - " separator. (main): Rewrite; find_name()'s prototype changed long ago. Tue Jul 10 14:37:51 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/util.c (is_newer): Rename to ... (is_changed): ... this. We now check whether the cat page has a different timestamp from the man page, rather than simply whether it is newer. Remove hack for archivers that preserve timestamps: it's no longer needed. * include/manconfig.h.in: Rename is_newer() prototype to is_changed(). * src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): Set the modification time of a created cat page to be the same as the corresponding man page. (display): stat() the man page so that commit_tmp_cat() can get its modification time. Use is_changed() rather than is_newer(). Sun Jul 8 16:06:43 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Allow an entry to point to itself if it contains a non-empty whatis field. This occasionally happens when multiple names and descriptions are present, and it's easier to tolerate this. (display): If an entry points to itself, don't display the pointer in square brackets. * include/sections.list: Remove; it's no longer needed. * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Don't install it. * include/Defines.in: Don't reference it. Also remove definition of message_catalogue (obsoleted by gettext). * include/manconfig.h.in (LESS_OPTS): Don't include $LESS. * src/man.c (make_display_command): Include $LESS here instead. Put it after prompt_string rather than before, so that long options in $LESS work. Sat Jul 7 16:32:24 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (determine_lang_table): Fix silly bracketing typo that caused none of the lang_table entries to match. Thu Jul 5 15:48:42 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * Version: 2.3.19. * docs/NEWS: Update. * man-db.gnu: Update. Change formatting to something closer to that currently in the Free Software Directory CVS repository. * man-db.lsm: Update. Thu Jul 5 14:27:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): MANDB_MAP now only affects setuidness when in the system configuration file. * src/man_db.conf.in: Likewise. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update. Wed Jul 4 13:39:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> The product of some hacking at the Debian Conference. Enjoy. * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes. * include/manconfig.h.in: Add SYSTEM_CAT and USER_CAT defines. Move includes from security.c to ... * src/security.h: ... here (new file). * src/man.c: Include security.h. * src/mandb.c: Likewise. * src/security.c: Likewise. * src/manp.c (add_mandb_map): Take an additional parameter, user. Use the new MANDB_MAP_USER flag instead of MANDB_MAP if it is set. (cat_manpath): Look at user catpaths before system catpaths. (add_to_dirlist): Take user parameter, passed through to add_mandb_map(). (read_config_file): Call add_to_dirlist() with user set for ~/.manpath, and reset for /etc/manpath.config (security fix). (get_mandb_manpath): Allow user manpaths. (global_catpath): Rename to get_catpath(), and only allow it to handle user catpaths (from ~/.manpath) as well if explicitly requested. (is_global_mandir): Note that this is trusted. * src/manp.h: Reflect renaming of global_catpath() to get_catpath(). * src/man.c (need_to_rerun): Use get_catpath() instead of global_catpath(). (make_roff_command): Likewise. (display): Likewise. (find_cat_file): Likewise. (try_db_section): Likewise. (try_db): Likewise. * src/catman.c (main): Likewise (check only user mandirs). * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise (check only user mandirs). * src/straycats.c (straycats): Likewise (check only with user mandirs). * src/whatis.c (search): Likewise (check only with user mandirs). * src/man.c (need_to_rerun): Use is_global_mandir() rather than global_catpath() to decide whether to drop privileges. * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise. Unify common code for system and user catpaths. * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Check catpath even if global_manpath is false. (locate_page): Simplify slightly. * src/security.c (get_man_owner): New function: gets and caches the password entry structure for MAN_OWNER. * src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): If running as root, chown created cat pages to MAN_OWNER. Sun Jul 1 01:58:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Don't initialize the pointer field here; instead, control it from ... (test_manfile): ... here. Change the logic for multiple name/description blocks again. Remove misguided special-casing of the first name in a block. Set the id field more carefully, depending on string equality instead of ordering. Avoid scribbling over lg.whatis when a later splitline() needs it. Don't call splitline() if whatis parsing failed. * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_normal): New function, factored out from purge_missing(). (purge_whatis): New function to decide whether to purge a WHATIS_MAN entry. (purge_missing): Use both of these. (testmandirs): purge_whatis() sometimes needs to ensure a hierarchy is rescanned. Honour this. Improve indentation levels. * src/mandb.c (main): Reset force_rescan before each purge. * src/lexgrog.l: Treat '..' as a no-op request. Sun Jul 1 01:38:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): Mention new requirement to use --update to update databases. mandb knows how to delete old entries now, so remove a sentence saying it can't. * src/man.c: More in the quest for sane indentation levels. * man/man1/apropos.man1: Textual cleanups. * man/man1/man.man1: Likewise. * man/man1/manpath.man1: Likewise. * man/man1/whatis.man1: Likewise. * man/man1/zsoelim.man1: Likewise. * man/man5/manpath.man5: Likewise. * man/man8/accessdb.man8: Likewise. * man/man8/catman.man8: Likewise. * man-db.lsm: Reformatted as per the LSM.README. Thu Jun 28 22:52:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (try_db_section): Downgrade whatis refs warning to a debugging message, as it's rather noisy for a stable release. Thu Jun 28 22:38:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/check_mandirs.c (gripe_rwopen_failed): New function. (testmandirs): Use it. (purge_missing): New function to purge database entries whose associated manual pages have been deleted. * src/check_mandirs.h: Prototype purge_missing(). * src/mandb.c (main): New --no-purge option. Unless it is used, purge_missing() is called on each database before calling mandb(). Don't call straycats() until after the temporary database has been moved to its permanent location. Make sure all cleanup code is called with dropped privileges. Add statistics message for purged entries, and separate messages for the benefit of translations. When --test is given, only assume --quiet if --debug wasn't given. (usage): Describe --no-purge. * src/man.c: Move extension's storage to ... * src/globbing.c: ... here. (look_for_file): Constify string arguments. * src/man.h: Move prototype of look_for_file() to ... * src/globbing.h: ... here (new file). * src/manp.c (pathappend): Only append the new element(s) if any were left after removing duplicates. (read_config_file): Make sure what we free was actually allocated. * src/Makefile.in (mandb): Link with globbing.o. * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Document --no-purge. General textual cleanup. * src/accessdb.c (main): Move content into a tighter scope. * src/security.c (drop_effective_privs): Style nit. Thu Jun 28 13:28:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/man1/man.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Document $MANWIDTH. Thu Jun 28 13:15:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (store_line_length, get_roff_line_length): New functions, adapted from Andries Brouwer's man. (main): Outside catman mode, find out and store the line length. (make_roff_command): Outside catman mode, retrieve the stored line length and feed a .ll request into the pipeline if it's non-standard. We let recent groff handle the page length. (display): Don't even consider saving the cat page if save_cat is already false. (get_preprocessors): If the database says no preprocessors are to be used, it's OK to save the cat page. Thu Jun 28 01:44:02 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man_db.conf.in (SECTION): Remove guarantee that ties will be broken in lexical order within sections. It's rather complicated to be sure of that right now, and it should rarely matter. * docs/ToDo: lexgrog learnt how to detect preprocessors ages ago. Thu Jun 28 01:02:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/manp.c (gripe_stat_file): Downgrade the warning if a manpath element doesn't exist to a debugging message (affects people without a /usr/local/share/man, for example). (read_config_file): Additional debugging message. Free home if it gets allocated. Thu Jun 28 00:35:09 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> The caching cleanup I've been promising for weeks. Here be dragons. * src/man.c (man): Only update database caches if --update is given. (main): --all no longer implies a database update (you can always use --all --update if you need that). * man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): It's no longer necessarily man's job to keep the caches up to date; use --update to get that. (DEFAULTS): Likewise. Some rationale. Mention globbing fallback. (OPTIONS/--local-file): Fix typo. (OPTIONS/--update): New description. Only useful with setuid man. * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): man will only update database entries if the --update flag is used. Tue Jun 26 22:10:07 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l: More cleanup. No substantive changes. * include/manconfig.h.in: Likewise. Also bring xrealloc() prototype into sync. * src/mandb.c (main): Allow root as well as MAN_OWNER to work on system manpaths. Tue Jun 26 03:45:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man_db.conf.in (SECTION): Add a little more advice about where to list sections with extensions. * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Add SECTIONS as an alias for SECTION, since I keep getting it wrong and I came up with it in the first place. Both make sense in different situations. * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Trim trailing spaces off names and descriptions. If the given base_name contains a comma, only use the part of the name before it as the target for pointers. * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Unroll recursion into a finite loop to avoid infinite recursion if the database contains a pointer loop. Add the page name as an argument so that a warning can be printed. (display): Pass the new argument to get_whatis(). (apropos): Recommend 'mandb --create' rather than plain 'mandb' if the database gets corrupted. * src/lexgrog.l: Ignore no-op groff requests (e.g. '.'). New variable, fill_mode. Reset it when .nf is encountered, set it when .fi is encountered. (newline_found): If fill_mode is set, add 0x11 instead of a space. Mon Jun 25 02:55:36 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes. Add dates of old releases. * include/manconfig.h.in: Move check_mandirs.c prototypes to ... * src/check_mandirs.h: ... here (new file). * src/man.c: Include check_mandirs.h. * src/mandb.c: Likewise. * src/man.h (make_filename): Move prototype to check_mandirs.h. * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Split parsing of file names into mandata structures into a new function ... (filename_info): ... this. (test_manfile): Calculate length of file name minus compression extension separately from the parsing, and do so whether COMP_SRC is defined or not. * src/man.c (try_section): Use filename_info() to find out if the section of a glob-located file is different from the current section and is mentioned elsewhere in the configuration file. If so, ignore that file in the current section. Mon Jun 25 01:30:24 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (man_getopt): Conditionalize gxditview initialization on TROFF_IS_GROFF. As a bonus, this squashes a compiler warning. (man): Remove some unreferenced cruft, while I'm in the process of fixing up multi-character sections. * src/Makefile.in: Build intermediate man.o and mandb.o objects, so that changing other objects just requires a relink. * src/globbing.c (look_for_file): Print the layout in debugging mode only when it's first parsed. Sun Jun 24 18:47:20 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in (--with-db): Improve help output formatting. * manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Document --enable-mandirs. * README: Update. * manual/Makefile ($(manual).html): Improve grohtml invocation. (realclean): Remove generated .png files. Sun Jun 24 17:22:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (try_section): Break if a page has been found and --all wasn't given. (try_db): Print extension in debug mode. Compare against requested section if the extension is a section in its own right, to avoid duplication. * src/man_db.conf.in: It's SECTION, not SECTIONS. * configure.in: --enable-mandirs=OS defines how the manual page hierarchy is laid out (GNU, HPUX, Solaris, IRIX). If unset, globbing behaves as before. * acconfig.h: Add MANDIR_LAYOUT. * src/globbing.c (parse_layout): New function. (look_for_file): Associate each glob with a layout. * configure.in: Don't check for off_t (only used by gettext). Sat Jun 23 15:23:14 BST 2001 Colin Phipps <cph@cph.demon.co.uk> * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (open_file): Supply a format string to error(). Sat Jun 23 15:15:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * ult_src.c (ult_src): Restore the original mantree to the start of basename before calling test_for_include(), in case ult_softlink() went outside the mantree. (ult_softlink): Make debugging message print the absolute path. Tue Jun 19 02:33:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (man): Allow sections to be more than one character, and trim them for use in directory names. * src/manp.c (read_config_file): Read ~/.manpath first, as entries are added the other way around now. Mon Jun 18 18:55:39 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/manp.c (add_sections, get_sections): New functions. (add_to_dirlist): Recognize new SECTIONS directive. * src/manp.h (iterate_catlist, start_iterator): Remove (not used). (get_sections): New prototype. * src/man.c (get_section_list): Use get_sections() instead of std_sections if it returns a non-empty list. * src/man_db.conf.in: Add documentation of SECTIONS, and a default line. The documentation is still inaccurate (extensions don't work well yet). * include/manconfig.h.in (STD_SECTIONS): Reduce to only single-character sections; the rest will be set in the configuration file. * src/manp.c (add_to_list): Add to the tail rather than the head (needed for SECTIONS, probably makes other things more intuitive). (read_config_file): Restore print_list() in debug mode. * src/check_mandirs.c: Add copyright notice and change information. * src/lexgrog.l: Likewise. * src/man.c: Likewise. * src/mandb.c: Likewise. * src/compression.c (get_ztemp): Remove redundant test. * src/man.c (get_preprocessors_from_file): Change an = to ==. * src/wrapper.c (main): Cosmetic improvements. Sat Jun 16 19:22:51 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Check that canonicalize_file_name() succeeded, not that it failed. (I'm pretty sure that this is the last instance of this now.) Sat Jun 16 18:30:09 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * libdb/db_store.c: Move id-favouring logic to a macro. If FAVOUR_STRAYCATS is set, make sure a WHATIS_MAN entry won't inadvertently replace a STRAY_CAT. * configure.in: Don't strip binaries in LDFLAGS (GNU standards). * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Check that opendir() succeeded, not that it failed! (testmandirs): Instead of initializing info.pointer here, initialize it ... (splitline): ... here. (testmandirs): Shuffle whatis logic some more, to make sure pages that really are in the filesystem don't end up as WHATIS_MAN. This reverts part of the change of 26 May 2001. * man/man8/mandb.man8: Document the expected format of NAME sections for whatis parsing, and some common reasons why parsing fails. Tue Jun 12 22:20:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/NEWS: More 2.3.19 stuff. Sun Jun 10 14:05:10 BST 2001 Gordon Sadler <gbsadler1@lcisp.com> * man/man1/manpath.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Replace 'semicolon' with 'colon' throughout. Sun Jun 10 13:59:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/manp.c (pathappend): Fix infinite loop when adding a manpath entry which is a substring of an existing entry. Sun Jun 10 13:49:02 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Treat EROFS like EACCES while opening a database read-write (i.e. only print debug messages). (create_db): Likewise. src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Likewise. (try_db_section): Likewise. * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Carry on gracefully rather than exiting if a straycat filter fails. * src/manp.c (pathappend): Remove duplicate entries. * src/lexgrog.l: Allow .LP, .PP, and .P as well as .br between whatis definitions. Sat Jun 2 14:34:59 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Give our English man pages the same date format as the other locales. * src/straycats.c: Use 'col -bx' rather than 'col-bx'. Mon May 28 14:56:35 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * include/manconfig.h.in: Since it isn't sensible to define debug (-d options at run-time do just as well), remove the commented definition. * include/manconfig.h.in, src/catman.c, src/check_mandirs.c, src/compression.c, src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/manpath.c, src/whatis.c: Remove instances of '#ifndef debug'. * src/util.c: debug is already declared extern in manconfig.h. Mon May 28 14:30:38 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * tools/README: Describe chconfig and install-manpage. * man/man5/manpath.man5, docs/ToDo: Document the DEFINE directive. * libdb/db_delete.c, libdb/db_lookup.c, libdb/db_store.c, src/whatis.c: Remove redundant strtok() declaration. * src/check_mandirs.c: Declare strpbrk(). * src/*: Global style cleanup. Sorry about the large diff, but it had to happen sometime: I can't stick with the prevailing coding style when there are several to choose from! No meaningful code change, although I disentangled a few assignments from if conditions and rearranged a few other sections. * po/*: Update accordingly. Sun May 27 18:32:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): New macro to check for Berkeley DB. * configure.in: Use it. * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Be more accurate about finding the " - " at the end of a series of whatis names, and make sure to skip commas between them. Add more commentary. * src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Return NULL if the cat page is unwriteable, rather than wasting time compressing to /dev/null. (format_display_and_save): Give up if both outing and saving become false. Sun May 27 18:00:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.3.19. Add current version number throughout as well as just "Major changes since ...". * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): mandb doesn't necessarily have to be rerun any more, as the filesystem will be checked if the database doesn't return anything. man and mandb can be built for setuid operation but installed non-setuid now. Sat May 26 15:33:37 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * manual/README: Note that HTML output is disabled by default. I don't currently provide a pre-built PostScript manual anywhere. * manual/misc.me (Credits): Add Fabrizio. * manual/*: FHS updates. Various boring typo/syntax/whitespace fixes. Sat May 26 15:14:29 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in, autogen.sh: Put 'timestamp' in stamp-h and stamp-h.in rather than the date. * src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Open the cat file before forking in order to deal with errors better. Open to /dev/null without complaining if the cat file is unwriteable. (close_cat_stream): Only commit the temporary cat if it was created. (locate_page): Fall back to the filesystem if nothing was found in the database (since it might be out of date). * src/man.c (try_db_section): If the database can't be opened read-write due to EACCES, only print a message in debug mode. * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Likewise. (create_db): Likewise. * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Make sure separate whatis keys each get their own whatis entry. Wed May 23 17:06:31 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Fix PACKAGE and VERSION substitutions. Wed May 23 15:51:06 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Updates for autoconf 2.50. (AC_PREREQ): Require version 2.1.2. (AC_INIT): Avoid deprecated use with one argument. (man_ac_version): Don't work out the autoconf version any more; inline syntax is all that needed it, and any autoconf since 2.1.2 will do. (AC_STDC_HEADERS): Now AC_HEADER_STDC. (AC_LINK_FILES): No longer needed with newer gettext. (AC_OUTPUT): Avoid deprecated use with arguments. Fix instances of underquoting throughout, as the new autoconf is less tolerant of this. * include/manconfig.h.in: Remove compatibility code for pre-1995 autoconf versions. Thu May 17 19:11:37 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man_db.conf.in: Improve documentation of MANDB_MAP. Wed May 16 00:09:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * tools/config.sub: Update to today's CVS. Wed May 16 00:07:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * A number of minor fixes from SuSE's diff: * GNUmakefile.in: Don't prepend ../ to prefix before passing it to subdirs. * lib/cleanup.c: HUP and TERM signal handling was mistakenly acting on INT instead. * src/lexgrog.l: Replace a few instances of " \t\n" with "blank_eol". * src/man.c: Drop privileges before changing back to the original directory just before exiting (only matters for profiling). * src/util.c: Undefine MAX before redefining it. * po/POTFILES.in: Read src/lexgrog.c rather than src/lexgrog.l (gettext understands C better than lex). * po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po: Remove a few stray '\r's. * I'll look at the zlib bits of the patch soon. From a preliminary look I'll probably end up rewriting it - I'd prefer more of the compression stuff actually to go in src/compression.c. Tue May 15 22:01:59 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/man.c (get_section_list): Return std_sections if argument to -S was an empty string or if that or $MANSECT contained only colons. Previously, man would behave wrongly in the former case and segfault in the latter. Also remove a redundant xstrdup(). Mon May 14 23:46:25 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * Version: 2.3.18. * README: Add contact details. * libdb/stamp-h: Removed. * GNUmakefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in: Updated accordingly. * src/man_db.conf.in: FHS 2.1 has /usr/local/share/man as the location of locally installed man pages rather than /usr/local/man. Accordingly, the MANDB_MAP for /usr/local/man is now /var/cache/man/oldlocal, and /usr/local/share/man takes over /var/cache/man/local. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update with msgmerge. Mon May 14 22:18:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/security.c: Count how many times drop_effective_privs() has been called, and don't actually regain privileges until regain_effective_privs() has been called an equal number of times. This should flush out several subtle bugs. * src/mandb.c: Call manpath() rather than read_config_file() (this was changed while merging 2.3b12). Otherwise 'mandb --user-db' segfaults as manp never gets set. Sun May 13 18:34:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Don't install po/Makefile.in. * src/stamp-h: Removed. * GNUmakefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Updated accordingly. * GNUmakefile.in (distclean): Don't clean configure, src/lexgrog.c, zsoelim/zsoelim.c. (realclean): Clean configure here instead. realclean targets in subdirs already remove the other two. * zsoelim/Makefile.in (clean): Let realclean remove zsoelim.c. Sun May 13 17:17:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/Makefile.in: Another try to get NLS installation working properly. The last change was wrong when LINGUAS was unset. * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Install docs/manpage.example. Sun May 13 16:54:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man/Makefile.in: Exclude NLS directories without man pages, as CVS can't delete directories quite as fully as I'd like. * configure.in: No subdirectory Makefiles need ALL_LINGUAS any more. * manual/Makefile: Make the location of soelim variable so that distributions can e.g. use the version in the build directory. * manual/Makefile, manual/README: Add an HTML target. Disabled by default as groff's HTML driver doesn't produce very good output yet (as of 1.16). * include/Defines.in: Only remove /usr from the default sysconfdir if the prefix is exactly /usr, not something that happens to contain /usr (like the default /usr/local). Sun May 13 13:39:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Mention move to SourceForge and the new URLs for the Debian package pool. * man-db.gnu: New architectures (successful Debian ports as of today). New mailing list for announcements. Sun May 13 13:18:56 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * README: Document FHS changes; correct pointer to docs/INSTALL.autoconf. * docs/INSTALL.autoconf: Update to instructions from automake 1.4. * docs/COPYING: Minor fixes from GNU (FSF address, Y2K). Sun May 13 13:00:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Add include/sections.list. * GNUmakefile.in, man/Makefile.in: Cause USE_NLS to be substituted properly from configure. * include/Defines.in: Remove some old gencat definitions. * docs/NEWS: Update in preparation for 2.3.18 release. Correct a few it's -> its typos in earlier entries. Sun May 13 02:18:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * autogen.sh: Create stamp-h.in. * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update with msgmerge. Sun May 13 02:03:05 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/ToDo: Most of Wilf's beta code is in now; mention SuSE. Sun May 13 01:22:29 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * docs/manpage.example: New file. Sun May 13 01:19:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * include/manconfig.h.in: Bump database version from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2. * libdb/db_ver.c (dbver_wr): Reformat. (dbver_rd): Downgrade warnings about wrong version numbers to debugging messages. * libdb/db_lookup.c (split_data): Fix fencepost error that would overlook a missing whatis field. * src/man.c (try_db_section): Display warning if whatis refs are relied upon to find a page. * libdb/db_storage.h: Note that WHATIS_MAN and WHATIS_CAT are deprecated. * src/accessdb.c (main): Give FHS_CAT_ROOT priority over CAT_ROOT. * man/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Document this. * man/de_DE.85591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise. * man/de_DE.ascii/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise. * man/es_ES.88591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise. * man/it_IT.88591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIZIONE): Likewise. * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Tidy up database opening code. * src/mandb.c (mandb): Don't create a new database if opt_test is set. (main): If opt_test is set, just delete the temporary database rather than moving it into place. * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Document --test. (FILES): Document FHS compliant database locations. (AUTHOR): Add myself. * src/ult_src.c (ult_softlink): Remove overly-cautious check for non-local symlinks in mantrees. * src/whatis.c (apropos): Remove a now redundant test that cont.dptr is non-NULL. Sun May 13 01:00:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/whatis.c (apropos): Complain and exit if a data pointer is NULL. For this, locally undefine BTREE to avoid using optimized functions, as they don't appear to provide enough error checking yet. Fri May 4 03:59:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in: Change PACKAGE from man-db to man_db. * po/*.po: Update with msgmerge. * release.sh: New file (quick release script). Fri May 4 03:44:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * acconfig.h: Remove Debian-specific entries. * aclocal.m4: Remove, as it's another autogenerated file. * autogen.sh: New file (very simple for now). Fri May 4 03:34:54 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Update set of installed files somewhat. No need to build man_db-nls.h any more. * man/Makefile.in: Declare ALL_LINGUAS and LINGUAS. * src/man.sh: Remove (obsoleted by src/wrapper.c). Fri May 4 02:56:30 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * README: Update for new NLS configuration methods. Reflect renaming of configuration file from man_db.config to man_db.conf. Fri May 4 00:18:23 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * stamp-h.in: Remove (generated by GNUmakefile). Fri May 4 00:17:50 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in, configure.in, include/Defines.in, libdb/Makefile.in, libdb/db_delete.c, libdb/db_lookup.c, libdb/db_store.c, libdb/db_ver.c, man/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in, src/lexgrog.l-2.3.8, src/lexgrog.l-2.4a, src/wrapper.c: Dispose of all the old catgets stuff. Replace with gettext idioms where appropriate. * libdb/man_db-nls.h, src/man_db-nls.h: Remove (obsolete with gettext). * include/config.h.in: Remove (generated by autoheader). Thu May 3 01:17:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * GNUmakefile.in: Strip .po from language names; fix it's -> its typo. * configure.in: Stop trying to guess the package name and version number from the current directory name. Wed May 2 18:38:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/manp.c: Remove #include of security.h (now merged elsewhere). (pathappend): Constify second argument. (mkcatdirs): Eliminate DIRLIST; now takes mandir and catdir as arguments. (add_2_dirlist): Rename to add_to_dirlist(); return void, and otherwise eliminate use of DIRLIST. As mentioned below, we now use a linked list instead. (read_config_file): Update accordingly. * src/security.c: *uid no longer static for now, as other objects use them. * src/man.c: Declare ruid and euid extern here now that security.h is gone. * src/check_mandirs.c (update_db): Close dbf rather than database. Wed May 2 17:27:22 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * acinclude.m4: New file. Restore definitions inadvertently removed from aclocal.m4 a few changes ago. * aclocal.m4: Update accordingly with 'aclocal'. * config.guess, config.sub: Move to tools directory. * configure.in: Move gettext macros below AC_PROG_CC etc. * configure.in: Remove Debian-specific code; build dependencies handle this now. Wed May 2 16:41:28 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * acconfig.h: Removed some definitions gettext used to need. * Makefile.in (_root): Added ABOUT-NLS to the distribution. Wed May 2 16:31:21 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * config.guess, config.sub: New files, synced from today's CVS. Wed May 2 16:28:02 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * configure.in, include/Defines.in, man/Makefile.in: Remove use of curdate. * man/it_IT.88591/man1/man.man1, man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/man.man1, man/man1/man.man1: s/curdate/date/g. Wed May 2 16:15:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * po/POTFILES.in: Added src/accessdb.c and src/wrapper.c. Wed May 2 15:53:45 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * ABOUT-NLS, aclocal.m4, intl/*, po/ChangeLog, po/Makefile.in.in: Update to gettext 0.10.37 (from 0.10.32). Various additions and removals. * GNUmakefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Remove old gencat/xcat targets. Wed May 2 01:33:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/mandb.c (main): Initialize security properly, since we may be setuid, and drop privileges when creating temporary databases in user-supplied hierarchies. Thanks to Ethan Benson for reporting this vulnerability. * man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Add myself as a developer; change maintainer. * libdb/db_lookup.c, src/man.c: Cosmetic fixes. * src/accessdb.c (usage): Remove spurious space in output. Wed May 2 01:02:19 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * Merging in changes from Wilf's 2.3b12 beta release. * docs/ChangeLog: Folded in changelog comments. * GNUmakefile.in, configure.in: Build configuration file. * */Makefile.in: Rearrange code for CPPFLAGS and similar. * configure.in: Look for grep, seteuid(), setresuid(). * include/config.h.in: Add HAVE_SETEUID and HAVE_SETRESUID. * include/manconfig.h.in: Add GREP and various grep flags. * src/whatis.c: Use GREP rather than "grep". * src/man_db.config: Renamed to src/man_db.conf.in. * src/man_db.conf.in: Add commented out DEFINE directives. * docs/ToDo: Need to document DEFINE directive. (Also, I (cjwatson) checked in two other todo items by mistake earlier: inline pipelines and merging work done by Wilf and Andries.) * include/Defines.in: CPPFLAGS tweaks; rename config file; %.i rule. * include/comp_src.h.in: paths.h -> ./manconfig.h. * src/security.c, src/man.c: Rewrite seteuid() handling; remove special "running as root" case. * src/security.h: Remove; combine previous contents with security.c. * src/man_db-nls.h: No longer need man_CHOWN. * include/manconfig.h.in: Add init_security() prototype. * src/manp.c: Major rewrite. Replace static storage with linked list. Improve configuration file handling, replacing get_dirlist() with read_config_file(). Move some of the more deeply nested bits of read_config_file() into separate functions like add_mandb_map(). (cjwatson: This won't compile yet. Fabrizio also hacked on this heavily, including splitting part of get_dirlist() out into add_2_dirlist() and adding mkcatdirs(). I've merged these as best I can for now, but it's still unfinished.) * src/manp.h: Remove get_dirlist() prototype, add prototypes for read_config_file() and get_def(). * src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/straycats.c, src/whatis.c: Use new get_defs() functions to pull paths from config file rather than hard-coding them. Fri Apr 27 22:39:34 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * Merging in changes from Wilf's 2.3.11 release. * docs/ChangeLog, docs/NEWS: Folded in changelog comments. * GNUmakefile.in: Added deroff and manual targets. * README: Added comment about manual; added notes on configure flags. * configure.in: Minor improvement for non-GNU makes. * src/lexgrog.l, src/lexgrog.l-2.4a: Allow comments other than at the beginning of a line. * src/manp.c: Replace has_subdirs() with has_mandir(): for $PATH components not in config, check for ../man as well as man subdirs. * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Use #defines for exit codes. * GNUmakefile.in, README, docs/INSTALL.quick, src/man.c: Cosmetic rearrangements (whitespace, typos, etc.). Fri Apr 27 21:36:11 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * manual/*: Add the source code for the man_db manual from Wilf's FTP site. Fri Apr 27 18:33:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/accessdb.c (main): Close the database and set dbf to NULL if dbver_rd() fails. * src/check_mandirs.c (update_db): Likewise. * src/man.c (try_db): Likewise. * src/straycats.c (straycats): Likewise. * src/whatis.c (search): Likewise. Fri Apr 27 18:10:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> * src/lexgrog.l: Detect grap (.G1) and vgrind (.vS). * include/manconfig.h.in: Add GRAP_FILTER and VGRIND_FILTER to filter enum.

Fri Apr 7 10:50:45 EET 2000 fab (fpolacco@debian.org) * Checked in by Colin Watson during SourceForge CVS sync. * Upstream changes from Debian changelog (2.3.17-2): - Commented away call to distclean_root in GNUmakefile: need to leave the Makefile and configure in the tarball. - Found and fixed subtle bug which made wrapper uselessly linked with -ldb2. When invoked by root on a system which enables group.db, then the call to initgroups() segfaults due to the libc link to libdb! * Other changes not mentioned in Debian changelog: - man-db.gnu: Update date and prerequisites (libdb2 becomes weak prerequisite). - man-db.lsm: New file. - src/lexgrog.l: Cosmetic changes. - src/wrapper.c: Add debugging code. Fri Apr 7 10:50:45 EET 2000 fab (fpolacco@debian.org) * Checked in by Colin Watson during SourceForge CVS sync. * Version: 2.3.17. * Upstream changes from Debian changelog: - Corrected apparent disappearing of option -e in apropos. - Corrected wrong usage of undocumented option -X which produced error when passed to filters. This is now parametrized as optional argument, defaulting to use devX75. Documented in usage : -X = -TX75, -X100 = -TX100, -X100-12 = -TX100-12. - Applyed patch submitted by Tomohiro KUBOTA: - roff_device and LESSCHARSET are determined by user environment rather than language of manpage for English manpage. - roff_device "ascii8" is used for non-English/non-ISO-8859-1 languages. - Added new check for libdb in configure.in - Added /usr/local/{share/}man to config file, due to bug in FHS, thanx to Gregor Hoffleit. - Added new message catalog po file for cs (czech) (4 new messages), thanx to Vladimir Michl. - tired of people continously complaining that man behaves differently than in RedHat (which is "The Reference Linux", you all know that), I'll add tbl as default filter for man. This will fix those three or four manpages that do not take the burden to declare their dependency on the tbl formatter (usually because upstream uses RedHat and so ...). Now what would I do if someone fill a bug against this because of wasting of CPU cicles for un-necessary filtering on the hundreds of pages that do not need tbl? I would certainly agree with them. Therefore I will fix this introducing scanning of manpages a la grog in mandb, and storing the result in the database. ...[noise of hacking and debugging]... Well, I did it (use accessdb to see it!). It took 4 weekend (stolen to the implementation of man 2.4) to complete and debug. Now you can announce the world that man-db 2.3.17 knows in advance which filters to run when processing a manpage which is in the database. Wed Mar 22 16:00:16 EET 2000 fab (fpolacco@debian.org) * Checked in by Colin Watson during SourceForge CVS sync. * Version: 2.3.16. * Upstream changes from Debian changelog: - Applyed patch submitted by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena to permit search of trnlated manpages before giving the first english one found.
