lintian: r227 - branches/1.23.0/checks
Author: cjwatson
Date: 2004-04-26 02:24:29 +0200 (Mon, 26 Apr 2004)
New Revision: 227
Modified:
branches/1.23.0/checks/manpages.desc
Log:
man(7) contains some rather dubious advice and is an out-of-date fork of
groff_man(7), so refer to the latter instead. Also plug the technically
superior mdoc macros a little.
