Description:
man-db - Display the on-line manual.
Changes:
man-db (2.3.10-69a) unstable; urgency=low
.
* 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 .
