Bug#602385: unblock: man-db/2.5.7-6



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock man-db 2.5.7-6, which relative to 2.5.7-4 currently in
testing contains translation updates and hardening improvements (which I
think are important since man and mandb are optionally setuid man,
although this is off by default).

man-db (2.5.7-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move po/fr.gmo aside during build so that it gets regenerated based on
    translation-fr.patch, and build-depend directly on gettext for this
    (closes: #598066).

man-db (2.5.7-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from hardening-includes, since man and mandb are
    optionally setuid man.
  * Update French translation from Translation Project (thanks, David
    Prévot; closes: #598621).
  * Make sure that man/po4a/po/* are kept unchanged during a
    patch/build/clean cycle.
  * Update French documentation translation from Translation Project
    (thanks, David Prévot; closes: #598066).

Unfortunately doing these translation updates while preserving other
desirable properties of the source package took more code than I'd have
liked.  I'm going to try to improve the source package for wheezy so
that this doesn't happen again.  The full debdiff is attached for
review.

Thanks,
