* In man-db -69d:
* Wrong change in manpath.config: it built two indexes for /usr/man
and /usr/share/man, and put both in /var/cache/man , so the second
overwrote the first. Thanx to Matthew Eaton, closes: #34636.
* In man-db -69c:
* put back the config file into /etc ... :-)
* found a bug in postinst that didn't rebuild the index.
* In man-db -69b:
* corrected lintian's error in menu file.
* modifyed cron.daily
* moved configuration file to /etc/menu/
created list of sections in /etc/menu/sections.list
The idea is to have mandb create it when scanning manpages.
* FHS compliance:
- add /usr/share/man in /etc/manpath.conf
- move /var/catman to /var/cache/man
* user's changes need manual update.
* absolutely DON'T SYMLINK /usr/man !! Otherways you'll get double
entries in the database.
* removed FSSTND keyword from manpath.conf and its handling in the
code, as it was a hack messing up names.
- start installing manpages in /usr/share/man
Don't worry about old packages installing into /usr/man .
man is designed to search pages on several directories!
- modify {pre,post}{inst,rm} scripts.
* TODO:
* modify docs (manpages and manual) to reflect these changes.
* raise bug to lintian to get a version that complains for manpages
* in /usr/man and recognize manpages in /usr/share/man .
.
* In man-db -69a: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 19:32:25 +0200
* Applyed (manually) patch to handle -l option (pipe from stdin)
Thanx to Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk> who
wrote the patch. (should fix: #3739, #21445)
* Modifyed apropos (and man -k ) behaviour to make -r option the
default, even in absence of the env POSIXLY_CORRECT.
Added option -e (--exact ) to permit the previous behaviour,
when the keywords match only full words in the descriptions.
Modifyed the usage of man and apropos.
Need to modify the manpages and the manual.
Thanx to Ian Jackson who posted the suggestion eons ago.
(should fix: #3788 )
* TODO:
* To fix bug #5360 (which is not a bug in man-db) I want to create
a manpage installer program that checks all the common errors
in manpages like broken symlinks, wrong section, wrong location,
missing of preprocessor directive in the first line and missing
of .SH NAME section.
This installer should also execute mandb to update the database (as
when man -u is issued), as the automatic detection of new manpages
doesn't work in case of multiple pages with the same name in
different sections (#10106). This update should be done in
background after dpkg has finished.
* I need to add an option to show the order in which sections are
processed while searching for a page. Actually this list is
hardwired in the source code. It should be in the config file AND
dinamically extended by mandb (which finds new sections). Splitting
the config file into a directory would improve this? Yes.
* For bug #11848 I should download glib sources, apply patches and
then look into "locale" source code to see how and from where it
takes the informations printed in line 'ctype-codeset-name' when I
issue the command 'locale -k LC_CTYPE'; then reproduce this inside
man.c and check the result. --ascii option should be assumed for
ISO8859 different from -0, -1, -3, -7, -9 .
menu - provides update-menus functions for some applications
menu 1.5-17.1 -> 1.5-19 into dists/potato/main/binary-alpha/admin
menu (1.5-19) unstable; urgency=low
* Finaly fixed that `cannot remove lockfile' bug.
(now using `real' advisory locking, this really appears neccecary).
the mechanism is now a lot simpler, and every second update-menus
that gets started will die itself if there's already a lock on
the pidfile.
For this, also changed the postinst file, to `manually'
kill any old update-menus still running, as in this case we really
want the new update-menus to take over (not the old one).
metamail - An implementation of MIME.
metamail 2.7-31 -> 2.7-32 into dists/potato/main/binary-alpha/mail
metamail (2.7-32) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed postinst script where it didn't add mailcap entries for an initial
install.
* Don't warn about wild cards in mailcap (fixes #30910).
* Use $() instead of `` for command substitution (fixes #33487).
Note that metamail does %{} substitutions with the correct quoting.
Indeed, it filters out characters like ` so there is no problem even if
this fix were not there. But other applications that currently do not do
the required quoting should do so.
Also, all packages that add entries to mailcap should check their entries
and replace all `` with % substitutions inside with $() so as to avoid
the obscure shell rule that `` is terminated by a un-backslashed back-
quote. Indeed, if this back-quote occurs within single or double quotes,
the result is undefined.
motifnls - Files needed to run some Motif applications.
motifnls 2.1-4 -> 2.1-5 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/x11

netbase - Basic TCP/IP networking binaries

* New upstream release of net-tools (1.51) (Closes: #14302)
* Compiled with glibc2.1. Thanks to Joel Klecker for some patches.
Should compile much more easily on non-i386 architectures now.
Hopefully.
* ipfwadm: Made /sbin/ipfwadm point to ipfwadm-wrapper, which copes
with running a 2.0 kernel (and calling ipfwadm directly), or a 2.2
kernel (and using ipchains instead).
* /etc/protocols: Correct IDPR-CMTP protocol number to 38, change
IPv6-Crypt and IPv6-Auth entries, to the IANA names, ESP and AH
(respectively). Added some other IPv6 related protocols.
* /etc/services: Added swat 901/tcp. (Bug#33964)

* net-tools: Configured in Internationalization (Bug#34638), and
IPv6 support. Compiled in support for the other options on a
"What the hell" basis.
* Changed the layout of the source package to not include version
numbers in the directories for each sub package. They're now in
/usr/doc/netbase/copyright instead.
