(revision 103)
- Update to man-db 2.13.0 (29 August 2024)
* Drop support for versions of groff before 1.21 (released on 2010-12-31).
* Fix `man-suffixed-extension` test failure when not using the GNU
hierarchy organization.
* Fix `-Wmissing-variable-declarations` warnings with GCC 14.
* Fix `-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end` warning with GCC 14.
* Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202407`.
* Support running the test suite against an installed package; this is
useful for systems such as Debian's autopkgtest framework.
- Remove patch man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif as not supported anymore
due to newer groff versions
- Port patches
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif

- Update to 2.12.1 (5 April 2024)
* Fix excessive cleanup of `/var/cache/man` by `systemd-tmpfiles`.
* `man` matches the display width more accurately to the configured width.
* Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202401`.
* Mention `groff`'s `pdf` device in `man(1)`.
* Speed up `seccomp` filter slightly.
* Document how to format pages using italic rather than underlined text.
* Remove the obsolete `chconfig` tool for converting man-db configuration
files to the FHS. This transition took place almost 25 years ago (at
least in Debian), so it's not worth keeping it around now.
- Remove patch man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif now upstream
- Port the patches
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
* man-db-2.9.4.patch
* man-propose-online.patch

(revision 94)
- Update to 2.11.2:
* Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`.
* Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed.
* Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats.
* SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing
`less` prompts.
* Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with
a nonexistent cache directory.
* `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis
references are from a section with higher priority.
* `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached
whatis information.
* Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11.
* The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH`
and `MAXCATWIDTH`.
* Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were
entries for the ultimate source of the page. They are now stored with
the correct type.
* Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link
rather than of the ultimate source file.
* Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already
exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching,
and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases.
* `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff`
does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page's preprocessor
string.
* Fix building on MinGW. (I haven't been able to test this; help from
MinGW experts would be welcome.)
Improvements:
* Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were

- Remove harden_man-db.service.patch as already done upstream at the end of the service file man-db.service - Add man-propose-online.patch: if patch was not found locally, propose to read it online, offering a URL where it could possibly be found.

- Corrrect some offsets of patch hunks
- Remove change in get-mtime.c as mandb-symlink-target-timestamp
now catch the random format changes
- update to 2.10.2:
* Regenerating man-db's build system now explicitly requires Automake >=
1.14. (This was already the case since at least man-db 2.10.0, but was
previously undocumented.)
* Make `man -H` sleep for a few seconds after starting the browser, since
it may background itself before loading files (Dr. Werner Fink).
* If an override directory is configured using `--with-override-dir`, it is
now applied more consistently when building the manpath, and whether a
page was found in an override directory is considered when sorting
candidates for display (Mihail Konev).
* Make the man-db manual build reproducible.
* Add some hardening options to the `systemd` service.
* `configure` now has a `--with-snapdir` option, for use on systems where
`snapd` is configured to use a directory other than `/snap`.
* Fix occasional `mandb-symlink-target-timestamp` test failure.
* Fix inadvertent reliance on a GCC extension that caused build failures
with Clang.
* Fix building without `iconv`.
- drop man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif (upstream)

- Avoid that mandb-symlink-target-timestamp fools us
- Workaround missing groff-full to get refer(1), the bibliographic
preprocessor found
- Update to man-db 2.10.0 (4 February 2022)
* Manpath deduplication no longer mishandles the case where another entry
in the manpath is a suffix of a candidate path to append.
* Fix potential crash in path searching if `getcwd` fails for reasons other
than running out of memory.
* Fix crash in `globbing` test tool if run with no non-option arguments.
* `lexgrog` now produces output in the user's locale.
* 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.
* 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.
* `man` no longer inadvertently modifies the `MANSECT` environment variable
before passing it on to its subprocesses.
* `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.
* Since man-db 2.4.2, `man` has behaved as if the `-l` option was given if
a manual page argument contains a slash. Since man-db 2.5.6, this has
interacted slightly poorly with the subpage feature, emitting spurious
error messages if given multiple manual page arguments some of which
include a slash. `man` no longer emits spurious error messages in this
case.

- Add patch man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif
* Supporting ALSO new `alternatives` which has the same tasks as
`update-alternatives` but in a simplier way.
- Update to version 2.9.4:
* Add support for zstd-compressed manual pages
* Recognise Esperanto, Romanian, Tamil, and Ukrainian translations
of the NAME section.
* Fix handling of \- in the right-hand side of a NAME section.
* Treat "\[en]" (etc.) as another synonym for "\-" in NAME sections,
alongside the existing "\(en" (etc.).
* Avoid incorrect markup in man(1) with po4a >= 0.58.
* Fix manual page translation infrastructure to compare po4a
versions with more than two components correctly.
* Fix "man -X75-12" and "man -X100-12" to set the document font
size as well as the device
* Fix incompatibility of "man -X" and friends with the seccomp
sandbox.
* man --recode and manconv now adjust encoding declarations on the
first line of their input to refer to the new encoding.
* There is a new "man-recode" program. Which has an interface
designed for bulk conversion and so can be much faster when
used on a large number of pages.
* Fix comparison of candidate manual pages to correctly handle the
case where the language elements are the same and match the
locale, but the territory elements differ.
* If run with no arguments or only a section, man now suggests
running "man man".
* man now understands the <page>(<section>) form on its command
line, so for example "man 'chmod(2)'" is now the same as
