- Update to version 6.00
  * Updated manual pages and interface documentation
  * Move definitions of types to separate pages in man2type/ and
    man3type/.  Previously, they were spread (and duplicated) in other
    pages, or in system_data_types.7 (with links in man3/).
  * Add man3head/ for pages that document header files.
  * Add man3const/ for pages that document constants.
  * Improve consistency of man(7) source
  * Manual pages sections:
    * Title (.TH):
    * Remove 5th argument to TH (middle-header).
    * Specify "Linux man-pages" and the version in the 4th argument
      (left-footer).
  * Add the LIBRARY section.  This section standardizes a way to
    document the library that provides a given interface.
  * Add the CAVEATS section.  BUGS and NOTES were serving that purpose
    before, but CAVEATS is more appropriate.
  * Rename the CONFORMING TO section to STANDARDS for consistency with
    other projects, such as the BSDs.
  * SYNOPSIS:  Add the ISO C2X [[deprecated]] attribute for functions
    that have been deprecated or removed.
  * EXAMPLES:  Improve consistency of C source code.  Also, reduce the
    number of warnings that several linting tools emit.
  * COLOPHON:  Remove section (its purpose is now served by the title).
- Update to version 6.01
  * Updated interface documentation
  * Manual pages' sections:
    * Title (.TH):
    * Remove the hardcoded date (TH 3rd argument), and replace it by a
      placeholder that should be changed when creating the tarball.
      This removes the need for a tstamp commit before each release.
- Update to version 6.02
  * Updated manual pages and interface documentation, noteable:
    * copy_file_range.2: Fix wrong kernel version information
    * process_madvise.2: Fix capability and ptrace requirements
    * madvise.2: Update Transparent Huge Pages file/shmem documentation
      for Linux 5.4+.
  * Use correct letter case in manual page titles, instead of uppercase.
  * Use \" t comments when appropriate (Lintian needs this).
  * SYNOPSIS:
    * Add _Nullable for functions that receive NULL as a meaningful
      input.
    * Use VLA syntax to clarify the meaning of size parameters, rather
      than hiding it in possibly-confusing text.
    * Use [[noreturn]] instead of noreturn, which will be deprecated
      soon.
- Rebased man-pages-tcp_fack.patch
- Added keyring and signed source (forwarded request 1045577 from susnux)
