man-db (2.3.10-69e) unstable; urgency=low
* In man-db -69e:
* Corrected typo in german messages file, thanx to Christian Hammers
<ch@lathspell.westend.com> for the hint.
* added enhancement to get manpath add default values from config
file to value in MANPATH env var according to presence of redundant
semicolon; suggested by Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> in
wishlist bug#19999.
TODO:
modify manpage, manual and so to describe new enhancement to
$MANPATH management; trailing or leading spare semicolon make add
the manpath derived from config files to the content of the var. A
double semicolon in the middle of the var makes insertion of the
rules derived into the var.
* added management of a user conf file ~/.manpath , with the same
syntax of /etc/manpath.conf, whose content is added to the default
conf file. It remains to be demonstrated if handling of cache works
as expected in all cases.
This enhancement, binded with the previous one, gives users
complete control over user managed mapages, which is quite more
needed out of Linux, in other OSes.
* 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

* 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 .

man-db 2.3.10-69e -> 2.3.10-69f into dists/potato/main/binary-powerpc/doc
man-db (2.3.10-69f) unstable; urgency=low
* In man-db -69f: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 16:17:58 +0300
* corrected bug in manp.c introduced in 69e (missing xstrdup).
My apologizes. Closes: #35326, #35353, #35354 .
I hope it fixes also #35355 and #35336, but as I wasn't able to
reproduce it, I'm not able to test its fix :-)
* corrected typo in mandb.8 (/omitted/emitted/) (I remember having
fixed it already ... maybe I'm getting too old?)
* added message catalog in czech translated last year by
Vladimir.Michl@upol.cz and added using the wrong format and
later forgot. How can I be forgiven?
* In man-db -69e:
* Corrected typo in german messages file, thanx to Christian Hammers
<ch@lathspell.westend.com> for the hint.
* added enhancement to get manpath add default values from config
file to value in MANPATH env var according to presence of redundant
semicolon; suggested by Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> in
wishlist bug#19999.
TODO:
modify manpage, manual and so to describe new enhancement to
$MANPATH management; trailing or leading spare semicolon make add
the manpath derived from config files to the content of the var. A
double semicolon in the middle of the var makes insertion of the
rules derived into the var.
* added management of a user conf file ~/.manpath , with the same
syntax of /etc/manpath.conf, whose content is added to the default
conf file. It remains to be demonstrated if handling of cache works
as expected in all cases.
This enhancement, binded with the previous one, gives users
complete control over user managed mapages, which is quite more
needed out of Linux, in other OSes.
* 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 .
