Changes:
man-db (2.3.17.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New maintainer. Fabrizio, may the road rise up to meet you.
* Might as well acknowledge my NMUs (closes: #41915, #60084, #60867;
closes: #61198, #71797, #71932, #72292, #76107, #78086, #83019, #84128;
closes: #84334, #84926, #85049, #85314, #85421, #85463, #85812, #86108;
closes: #86892, #87195, #87420, #87541).
.
* Converted to debhelper, and otherwise substantially rewrote the build
process. debian/{p.skeleton,policy,source-depends} are gone, and
debian/conffiles too as debhelper v3 handles that.
* Unfortunately, much of the debian/ directory was in the upstream
tarball, and dpkg-source ignores deletions. To get around this, I made a
new "upstream" tarball, which is identical to 2.3.17 except without the
debianization (hence the sub-sub-minor revision).
* debian/rules:
- Preserve ownership and permissions while copying files in the clean
target to avoid inadvertent root ownership (closes: #90302).
- Really set LDFLAGS, and pass it at the build stage rather than in
configure so that I can get unstripped binaries easily.
- DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug was broken due to missing quotes. Fixed.
* debian/{pre,post}{inst,rm}:
- Reformatted somewhat and removed things debhelper does already.
- Removed call to update-menus in postrm.
- Only rebuild the database when the database format has changed or the
database is missing, and only remove catpages on purge. Hacked preinst
to deal with old packages' postrms removing catpages unconditionally.
- No need to su to run mandb; man-wrapper will sort that out.
- Clean up a cron job left around from the old man package in rex
(closes: #67000).
* Updated policy version to 3.5.2: no changes required.
* Depend on bsdmainutils rather than just suggesting it. Users might
legitimately want stray cats (pages, that is ...) on their system, even
if they aren't installed by Debian packages (closes: #64183).
* Added lintian overrides (setuid-binary /usr/lib/man-db/{man,mandb} 4755
man/root).
* Clarified manpage.example (thanks, Kevin Ryde; closes: #52525).
.
* Call setlocale() with LC_ALL rather than LC_MESSAGES (patch from GOTO
Masanori; closes: #75559). If somebody with experience of locale
programming could tell me whether the patch in #40743 makes sense, it
would be much appreciated.
* The Perl maintainer is putting core Perl module man pages in the .3perl
namespace, so that should follow .3pm (to allow vendor pages to shadow
core). Added that to include/manconfig.h.in.
* Significantly improved man's behaviour when new packages are installed
and it decides to rescan the man hierarchies. Its logic for working out
what pages it had seen before and put in its database didn't quite cope
with symlinks, so every link to undocumented(7) and so on got rescanned
and gunzipped. Fixed the logic in all but pathological cases (.so links
to symlinks, say, but Don't Do That Then). If a lot of manual pages have
been changed recently, it still reads them all, but this should be a lot
less painful now.
