1025 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document new semantics.
1026 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po: Update.
1027 * NEWS: Document this.
1029 Thu Dec 2 23:32:07 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1031 * src/whatis.c (parse_opt): Make -f and -k force program identity to
1032 whatis and apropos respectively. This is useful when running
1033 directly from the build tree, since libtool makes it hard to
1034 detect the program name correctly.
1036 Thu Dec 2 19:28:06 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1038 * src/catman.c (parse_for_sec): Format ARG_MAX - arg_size using %zd.
1039 * src/manp.c (has_mandir): Cast printf field precisions to int.
1040 (create_pathlist): Use %td to format pointer differences.
1042 Thu Dec 2 19:23:36 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1044 * src/man.c (make_display_command): Make sure the returned pipeline
1045 is never NULL; this causes crashes later.
1047 Thu Dec 2 12:33:43 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1049 * src/man.c (make_display_command): Don't start a pager if standard
1050 output is not a tty (Fedora bug #658132).
1051 * NEWS: Document this.
1053 Thu Dec 2 00:31:31 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1055 Handle roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections
1056 (Debian bug #601025).
1058 * src/lexgrog.l (glyphs, perldocs): New arrays.
1059 (MAN_NAME): Call newline_found on encountering \& at the start of
1060 a line. Call add_glyph_to_whatis on roff named glyphs, and
1061 add_perldoc_to_whatis on perldoc strings.
1062 (compare_macro, add_macro_to_whatis, add_glyph_to_whatis,
1063 add_perldoc_to_whatis): New functions.
1064 * NEWS: Document this.
1066 Wed Dec 1 22:24:51 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1068 Improve .so searching (Debian bug #503472).
1070 * src/Makefile.am (zsoelim_SOURCES): Add manp.c and manp.h.
1071 * src/zsoelim.l (zsoelim_parse_file): Take manpathlist and
1072 parent_path arguments, and save those to pass on to
1074 (try_compressed): New function, split out from zsoelim_open_file.
1075 (zsoelim_open_file): Take manpathlist and parent_path arguments.
1076 Rearrange search logic as follows: (1) if there is no parent_path,
1077 try opening directly; (2) look up filename within each manpath
1078 entry, treating filenames without directory parts as full manual
1079 page lookups; (3) if there is a parent_path, try opening directly.
1080 (zsoelim_stdin): Pass path and manpathlist from input data to
1081 zsoelim_open_file and zsoelim_parse_file.
1082 (zsoelim_stdin_data_new, zsoelim_stdin_data_free): New functions.
1083 * src/zsoelim.h (zsoelim_open_file, zsoelim_parse_file): Update
1085 (zsoelim_stdin_data_new, zsoelim_stdin_data_free): Add prototypes.
1086 * src/zsoelim_main.c (main): Initialise locale and manpath. Pass
1087 manpath to zsoelim_open_file and zsoelim_parse_file.
1088 * src/man.c (main): Calculate manpath before handling -l option.
1089 (make_roff_command): Pass dir and manpathlist to zsoelim_stdin.
1090 * src/tests/zsoelim-1: New test.
1091 * src/tests/Makefile.am (ALL_TESTS): Add zsoelim-1.
1092 * NEWS: Document this.
1094 * src/manp.c (get_def): If not setuid, make this identical to
1096 * src/manp.h (get_def): Likewise.
1098 Wed Dec 1 14:15:34 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1100 * lib/security.c (do_system_drop_privs): Copy-edit header comment,
1101 and update it for libpipeline.
1103 Mon Nov 29 17:48:29 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1105 Remove obsolete versions of lexgrog. They're still available in
1106 revision control if people want them.
1108 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove.
1109 * src/README.lexgrog, src/lexgrog.l-2.3.8, src/lexgrog.l-2.4a,
1110 src/lexgrog.l.new: Remove.
1112 Sun Nov 28 15:01:21 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1114 Remove internal copy of libpipeline.
1116 * configure.ac: Remove --enable-socketpair-pipe and
1117 --with-external-pipeline options. Remove INTERNAL_PIPELINE
1118 Automake conditional. Check for libpipeline unconditionally.
1119 * docs/INSTALL.quick: Mention the need to install libpipeline.
1120 * gnulib: Remove strsignal and sys_select modules.
1121 * lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Never add pipeline.c or
1123 * lib/pipeline.c, lib/pipeline.h: Remove.
1124 * m4/man-socketpair.m4: Remove.
1125 * NEWS: Document this. Bump to 2.6.0.
1127 Thu Nov 18 13:46:04 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1129 Reducing linkage when we switched to libtool caused build failures
1130 with versions of GNU ld that default to --no-copy-dt-needed-entries.
1131 Partially revert these changes, this time taking care to directly
1132 link programs against libraries if and only if they use symbols from
1133 those libraries directly (otherwise, the linkage from libman.la and
1134 libmandb.la should be sufficient).
1136 * src/Makefile.am (LIBMAN): Add $(top_builddir)/gnulib/lib/libgnu.la
1138 (LIBMANDB): Add $(LIBMAN) and $(DBLIBS).
1139 (lexgrog_LDADD, man_LDADD, manconv_LDADD, mandb_LDADD): Add
1140 $(libpipeline_LIBS) and $(LTLIBICONV).
1141 (whatis_LDADD, zsoelim_LDADD): Add $(libpipeline_LIBS).
1142 * NEWS: Document this.
1144 Wed Nov 17 11:43:30 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1147 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
1149 Wed Nov 17 11:34:36 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1151 * lib/util.c (init_locale): Avoid warnings if configured with
1152 --disable-nls. Remove arguments, since this was only ever called
1153 as 'init_locale (LC_ALL, "")' anyway, and that required callers to
1154 explicitly include <locale.h>. Update all callers.
1155 * include/manconfig.h.in (init_locale): Update prototype.
1157 Wed Nov 17 11:22:28 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1159 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Revert changes to this
1160 function from 2010-11-14. Explicitly deleting bad links from the
1161 database was overly sensitive to directory ordering, and caused
1162 test failures on some systems.
1163 * NEWS: Document this.
1165 Mon Nov 15 22:34:57 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1168 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
1170 Mon Nov 15 22:22:47 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1172 * man/Rules.man (distclean-hook): Rename to ...
1173 (distclean-local): ... this, and fix syntax so that it actually
1176 Mon Nov 15 21:38:04 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1178 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Simplify and improve code to make a
1179 temporary copy of manpathlist, in order that it can't free
1180 unallocated memory (may fix Savannah bug #31633).
1182 Mon Nov 15 13:48:26 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1184 * man/po4a/Makefile.am (clean-local): Remove; distclean-hook in
1185 man/Rules.man already takes care of this (thanks, Denis Barbier).
1187 Sun Nov 14 22:12:21 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1189 Prevent repeated rescans when a link is broken. Thanks to Daniel
1190 Isenmann for debugging information.
1192 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Explicitly delete bad links
1194 (count_glob_matches, purge_whatis, purge_missing): Extract the
1195 database mtime, and ignore any pages at least as old as that for
1196 the purposes of deciding whether a whatis entry has been replaced
1198 * src/tests/mandb-3: New test.
1199 * src/tests/Makefile.am (ALL_TESTS): Add mandb-3.
1200 * NEWS: Document this.
1202 Wed Nov 3 23:40:25 GMT 2010 Jordi Mallach <jordi@gnu.org>
1204 * po/ca.po: Update from Translation Project.
1206 Wed Nov 3 20:27:46 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1208 * src/catman.c (parse_for_sec): Explicitly pass -S before section
1209 number, to reduce ambiguity.
1210 * src/man.c (main): In catman mode, never try to guess whether a
1211 page argument is a section, as it's too easy to get this wrong
1212 (Ubuntu bug #664211).
1214 Fri Oct 29 07:25:44 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1216 * lib/pipeline.h (pipeline_install_post_fork): Clarify that this is
1217 run in the child process.
1218 (pipeline_wait_all): Clarify that SIGPIPE is considered equivalent
1221 Fri Oct 29 06:18:31 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1223 * lib/pipeline.c (pipecmd_new_sequencev): New function.

1234 Fri Oct 29 05:28:33 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1236 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Rename to ...
1237 (pipeline_wait_all): ... this. Return 127 rather than 1 if
1238 closing the pipeline output fails. Return 127 if a command other
1239 than the last one fails. Return the statuses and the number of
1240 statuses in new output parameters if they are non-NULL.
1241 (pipeline_wait): Add new wrapper function.
1242 * lib/pipeline.h (pipeline_wait_all): Add prototype.
1244 Fri Oct 29 03:50:16 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

1266 * man/po4a/po/nl.po: Update from Translation Project.
1268 Tue Oct 26 12:40:12 BST 2010 Martin Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>
1270 * po/de.po: Update from Translation Project.

1327 command, struct pipeline): Move to ...
1328 * lib/pipeline.c (enum command_tag, struct command_env, struct
1329 command, struct pipeline): ... here.
1331 Redirections are now handled slightly differently internally,
1332 allowing redirection from/to fd 0.
1334 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new, pipeline_join): Set redirect_in and
1336 (pipeline_connect): Use pipeline_want_in and pipeline_want_out.
1337 Check source->redirect_out.
1338 (pipeline_start): Handle new redirection semantics.

1345 Sun Oct 24 21:04:45 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1347 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_run): This would be a more convenient
1348 wrapper for the common case if it freed the pipeline as well, so
1349 do that. (Callers that don't want this should call pipeline_start
1350 and pipeline_wait separately.)
1351 * lib/pipeline.h (pipeline_run): Update comment.
1352 * lib/security.c (do_system_drop_privs): Consistently free the

1410 here since 2009-04-14.
1412 Tue Oct 5 11:48:57 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1414 * man/po4a/Makefile.am (clean-local): Don't use 'po4a
1415 --rm-translations', since it sometimes updates PO/POT files and
1416 the obvious workaround for that breaks 'make distcheck'.
1417 Reimplement it by hand instead.
1419 Tue Oct 5 10:59:02 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1421 * man/check-man: Use libtool to run man from the build tree.
1423 Tue Oct 5 10:36:35 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
1425 It turns out that AM_GNU_GETTEXT([use-libtool]) is unsupported.

1469 (make_roff_command): Likewise.
1471 Sun Oct 3 23:30:06 BST 2010 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

1561 * src/tests/man-1, src/tests/mandb-1, src/tests/mandb-2: Set MANPATH

1644 built against this library.

1804 timestamps are often just too fragile for those make targets to

2046 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Prefer getting a page from the
2047 best manual section over getting a page in the correct language; I
2048 have my reservations about this, but it seems to be what people
2049 are requesting (Debian bug #519547).
2051 Sun Nov 15 14:02:11 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2053 Search man<sec><ext> directories in the GNU layout (Debian bug
2054 #519807, Arch Linux bug #13734).

2062 Sun Nov 15 13:32:58 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2064 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): Make this void; checking
2065 whether any glob matches were returned is sufficient. Move
2066 glob-clearing code to ...
2067 (clear_glob): ... here (new function).
2068 (look_for_file): Simplify since we now only need to check
2069 gbuf.gl_pathc == 0, not the return value of match_in_directory as
2070 well. Clear gbuf on entry.
2072 Sun Nov 15 13:18:38 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2074 * src/tests/lexgrog-1, src/tests/man-1, src/tests/manconv-1,
2075 src/tests/manconv-2, src/tests/mandb-1, src/tests/mandb-2: Use

2115 * src/man.c (main): Move locale manpath expansion to ...
2116 (locale_manpath): ... here (new function).
2117 (local_man_loop): If the argument is an executable, try looking up
2118 the corresponding manual page in the appropriate part of the
2119 manpath, rather than just trying to format the text of the
2120 executable as a manual page.
2121 * NEWS: Document this.

2184 * src/accessdb.c (parse_opt), src/lexgrog_test.c (parse_opt),
2185 src/whatis.c (parse_opt): Turn off ARGP_HELP_PRE_DOC to avoid
2186 problems with translations of documentation strings beginning with
2187 a vertical tab separator (i.e. no pre-option documentation).
2189 Thu Sep 24 12:32:48 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2191 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_pump): When a source pipeline dies, make
2192 sure to drain its output before discarding its output file
2193 descriptor (Debian bug #548153). We still record the death to
2194 avoid duplicate debugging messages.
2195 * NEWS: Document this.
2197 Tue Sep 22 00:53:42 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2199 * src/encodings.c (get_default_device): If the locale encoding is
2200 ASCII, then use the ascii device even if preconv is available; it
2201 will do a better job than producing UTF-8 output and then recoding
2202 that to ASCII (Debian bug #547695).

2240 (replace_if_necessary): Don't replace ULT_MAN or SO_MAN with
2241 lesser ids just because the mtime is newer. (This still satisfies
2242 Debian bug #490582, but doesn't cause the database to be rebuilt
2243 every time mandb runs on hierarchies with both symlinks and whatis
2244 entries for the same name.)

2258 gnulib/lib/xmalloc.c.orig, gnulib/m4/intldir.m4,

2369 Cope with some more cases of database corruption (Debian bug
2372 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Always replace existing keys once
2373 we've decided we ought to. If the key already exists in the
2374 database, then that probably indicates some kind of database
2375 corruption, but our new key is almost certainly better.

2377 dbver_rd and ensuring that all keys have non-NULL content.
2378 (update_db): Use sanity_check_db to decide whether an existing

2484 * .bzrignore: Ignore src/tests/Makefile.
2486 Tue Aug 18 09:47:50 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2488 * src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Convert text to UTF-8 and then (if
2489 necessary) to the target encoding. This allows us to distinguish
2490 between "text not in input encoding" and "characters not
2491 representable in output encoding" (Debian bug #514963).
2492 * src/tests/manconv-2: Add test for this and some other possible
2493 encoding-handling bugs in manconv.
2494 * src/tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add manconv-2.
2495 * NEWS: Document this.
2497 Mon Aug 17 18:32:04 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2499 * src/tests/testlib.sh (init): New function.
2500 (finish): Honour TEST_FAILURE_KEEP environment variable.
2501 * src/tests/manconv-1: Use init function. Reverse diff arguments so
2502 that failure output makes more sense.
2504 Mon Aug 17 00:56:20 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2508 Mon Aug 17 00:38:12 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2510 * src/encodings.c (conversion_table): New table, with contents
2511 mostly borrowed from groff's preconv.
2512 (convert_encoding): New function.
2513 (check_preprocessor_encoding): Loop through semicolon-separated
2514 tags, and convert Emacs coding tags to ones that libiconv
2515 understands (Debian bug #496604).
2516 * src/tests/manconv-1: Test multiple tags. Test coding aliases.
2518 Sun Aug 16 23:52:38 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2520 * src/tests/testlib.sh: Add a simple test library, to be extended as
2522 * src/tests/manconv-1: Use it.
2524 Sun Aug 16 23:37:11 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2526 * src/tests/manconv-1: Simple test for manconv's handling of
2527 Emacs-style coding: tags.
2528 * src/tests/Makefile.am: New file.
2529 * src/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add tests.
2530 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add src/tests/Makefile.

2539 * manual/Makefile.am (install-data-hook, uninstall-hook):
2540 Install/uninstall the manual into/from $(docdir).
2542 Fri Aug 14 12:18:43 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2544 * docs/Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Move NEWS to ...
2545 * Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): ... here.
2547 Fri Aug 14 11:50:27 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2549 Move ChangeLog and NEWS to their more conventional location at the
2552 * docs/ChangeLog: Move to ...
2553 * ChangeLog: ... here.
2554 * docs/NEWS: Move to ...
2556 * README, docs/HACKING (Revision control, Release process),
2557 src/check_mandirs.c: Update references.
2559 Fri Aug 14 11:43:41 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2561 * configure.ac: Use silent rules by default if Automake 1.11 is
2563 * man/Rules.man (replace.sed, .man1.1, .man5.5, .man8.8): Be quieter
2566 Upgrade to Autoconf 2.64, Automake 1.11, and Gnulib 20090801.
2568 Mon Aug 3 17:13:19 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2570 * src/encodings.c (less_charset_table): Add CP1251 -> windows, per
2571 less(1) (Debian bug #539690).
2573 Wed Jul 22 10:48:10 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2575 Make whatis/apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers
2576 to it, once (Ubuntu bug #27113).
2578 * lib/hashtable.c (hash_lookup_structure): Make external.
2579 * lib/hashtable.h (hash_lookup_structure): Add prototype.
2580 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Split pointer resolution out to ...
2581 (resolve_pointers): ... here. Only accept info->pointer == page if
2582 info->name == page too.
2583 (display): Use resolve_pointers so that we have the resolved name
2584 to hand. Only display any given resolved name once.
2585 (main): Initialise display_seen hash table.
2586 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2588 Tue Jul 21 22:05:01 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2590 * docs/NEWS: Fix typo.
2592 Tue Jul 21 15:17:49 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2594 * man/man1/man.man1 (Controlling formatted output, ENVIRONMENT):
2595 Explicitly state that -P/$PAGER/$MANPAGER identifies a single
2596 command with no pipes (Debian bug #363250).
2598 Mon Jul 20 10:59:00 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2600 * src/man.c (locale_macros): Fix groff version test not to think
2601 that 1.20.1 >= 1.20.2.
2603 Tue Jul 14 22:48:56 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2605 * configure.ac: Add -Wredundant-decls to CFLAGS.
2606 * lib/tempfile.c: Remove redundant declarations of mkstemp and
2608 * src/manp.c: Remove redundant and unused declaration of
2610 * src/zsoelim.l: Add never-interactive option, partly because that's
2611 reasonably accurate anyway and partly to suppress flex's redundant
2612 declaration of isatty.
2614 Mon Jul 13 13:40:17 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2616 * src/man.c (options, parse_opt): New --no-subpages option.
2617 (main): Try pairing up manual page names with hyphens unless
2618 --no-subpages was given.
2619 * ma/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS, Finding manual pages): Document
2621 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2623 Mon Jul 13 01:17:41 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2625 * README (Copyright and licensing): Update copyright years.
2627 Mon Jul 13 00:48:32 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2629 * src/encodings.c (get_less_charset, get_jless_charset): Cope with
2630 locale_charset being NULL; loosely based on a patch posted to
2631 mingw-msys by Mark Junker
2632 (http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.mingw.msys/2005-06/msg00012.html).
2634 Sun Jun 28 17:56:49 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2636 Don't create unnecessary database directories (Debian bug #472919).
2638 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Add catpath and create
2639 arguments. Create the database when it first seems to be needed.
2640 Use mkcatdirs rather than make_database_directory.
2641 (make_database_directory): Remove.
2642 (create_db): Add catpath argument. Don't create the database here;
2643 let testmandirs do it when needed instead.
2644 (update_db): Add catpath argument. Don't create the database
2645 directory; either it exists already in which case there's nothing
2646 to do, or it's missing in which case there'll be no database to
2648 * src/check_mandirs.h (create_db, update_db): Update prototypes.
2649 * src/mandb.c (update_db_wrapper): Add catpath argument.
2650 (mandb): Update calls to functions that now take the catpath too.
2651 * src/manp.c (add_mandb_map): Don't create the cat hierarchy here;
2652 testmandirs will do it on demand.
2653 (mkcatdirs): Make external for use by check_mandirs.c.
2654 * src/manp.h (mkcatdirs): Add prototype.
2655 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2657 Sun Jun 28 16:33:24 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2659 * man/man1/man.man1 (DESCRIPTION): Note that the exact rendering of
2660 (e.g.) italic text may vary depending on the output device (Debian
2663 Sun Jun 28 16:21:34 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2665 Implement 'man -K', which was the last major remaining missing
2666 feature when comparing man-db with the man package (Debian bug
2667 #135926, Ubuntu bug #390575).
2669 * src/man.c (options, parse_opt): New -K/--global-apropos option.
2670 (main): Handle --global-apropos.
2671 (locate_page): Skip database lookups in --global-apropos mode.
2672 (grep, do_global_apropos_section, do_global_apropos): New
2674 * src/man.h (do_global_apropos): Add prototype.
2675 * man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS, Main modes of operation): Document
2676 -K/--global-apropos.
2677 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2679 Sun Jun 28 10:31:16 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2681 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po: po4a 0.36 tags
2682 "type:" comments as extracted comments rather than translator
2683 comments. Upgrade our .pot and .po files to match.
2685 Sun Jun 28 02:04:55 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2687 * src/manp.c (get_nls_manpath): Close mandir, fixing a memory leak.
2689 Sun Jun 28 01:47:51 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2691 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_free): Free buffer and line_cache.
2693 Sun Jun 28 01:40:24 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2695 * lib/pipeline.c (get_line): Limit newline search to the data length
2696 returned by get_block, fixing an assertion failure.
2697 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2699 Mon Jun 22 08:02:55 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2701 * src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions): Strip leading and
2702 trailing whitespace from name tokens before checking whether they
2704 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2706 Sun Jun 21 02:55:56 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2708 * docs/NEWS: Document previous change.
2710 Sun Jun 21 02:20:22 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2712 * libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup): In exact mode, make sure extensions
2713 match exactly, rather than merely that the extension found is a
2714 prefix of that which was requested (Arch Linux bug #14467).
2716 Sun Jun 21 02:00:31 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2718 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Keep a copy of base before passing it to
2719 decompress_open, as that function doesn't keep its own copy and we
2720 may change base later.
2722 Sat Jun 20 21:26:02 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2724 * libdb/db_store.c (replace_if_necessary): Prevent misleading
2725 debugging message: don't say "ignoring differing ids" if the new
2726 id was preferred and we attempted a replacement.
2728 Sat May 30 12:50:44 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2730 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Check the return value of nice.
2732 * include/manconfig.h.in (create_tempdir): Warn if the result is not
2734 * lib/tempfile.c (create_tempdir): Check the return value of
2736 * src/man.c (format_display): Check the return value of
2739 Sat May 30 13:37:58 CEST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2741 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Initialise page_encoding.
2743 Wed May 13 18:28:44 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2745 * gnulib: Upgrade to 20090501.
2746 * tools/config.guess, tools/config.sub: Update.
2748 Wed Apr 22 15:50:51 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2750 * src/lexgrog.l (lt_name): Add.
2752 Wed Apr 15 00:34:06 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2754 * man/it/man1/whatis.man1 (STATI D'USCITA): Fix section heading
2755 (formerly "STATI D?USCITA") to match man(1) and apropos(1).
2756 Reported by Ken Moffat.
2758 Wed Apr 15 00:33:16 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2760 * man/check-man: Set MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1, since a UTF-8-aware col
2761 (such as that in util-linux-ng) will object to being asked to
2762 process non-ASCII text under LC_ALL=C. Reported by Ken Moffat.
2763 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
2765 Wed Apr 15 00:31:00 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2767 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.5.6.
2769 Wed Apr 15 00:22:54 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2771 * .bzrignore: Ignore gnulib/lib/glthread/.deps and
2772 gnulib/lib/glthread/.dirstamp.
2774 Wed Apr 15 00:20:45 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2776 Upgrade to Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.10.2, and Gnulib 20090401.
2778 Tue Apr 14 23:59:40 BST 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2780 Call gnulib-tool after autopoint, and only use the gettext macros
2781 supplied via gnulib. This is required to work properly with current
2782 versions of gettext and gnulib; see
2783 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-03/msg00154.html
2786 * autogen.sh: If gnulib-tool is installed, call autopoint first and
2787 prevent autoreconf from calling it later. Remove special handling
2788 of tools/config.rpath, which is not necessary with this approach.
2789 * Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Put gnulib/m4 before m4, so that
2790 autopoint puts its macros in gnulib/m4 (later overwritten by
2793 Mon Mar 23 14:32:25 GMT 2009 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
2795 * po/id.po, man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
2797 Wed Mar 18 01:10:50 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2799 * docs/HACKING (Revision control): Moved bzr archive to Savannah;
2800 update URLs and note that this now allows access to other members
2801 of the man-db group on Savannah.
2803 Mon Mar 16 11:42:35 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2805 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute gnulib/m4/gnulib-cache.m4.
2807 Mon Mar 16 10:39:40 GMT 2009 Yuri Kozlov <yuray@komyakino.ru>
2809 * man/po4a/po/ru.po: Update from Translation Project.
2811 Sun Mar 15 13:13:40 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2813 Apparently some packages ship section 0 manual pages documenting C
2814 library header files. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13734 and
2815 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_page_(Unix).
2817 * configure.ac (--with-sections): Add section 0 between 3 and 2.
2818 * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Update documentation of SECTION.
2819 * src/man_db.conf.in (SECTION): Update documentation.
2821 Sun Mar 15 01:08:16 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2823 * gnulib: Import the sigaction, signal, and sigprocmask modules.
2825 Sat Mar 14 22:44:33 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2829 Sat Mar 14 22:42:39 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2831 * man/check-man: Ignore "cannot adjust line" and "can't break line"
2832 groff warnings for all languages, not just CJK; long
2833 %manpath_config_file% values during 'make distcheck' cause
2834 problems here at the moment.
2836 Sat Mar 14 18:51:22 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2838 * man/check-man: Force MANWIDTH to 80. Ignore "table wider than line
2839 width" warnings from groff >= 1.20 for now.
2841 Sat Mar 14 18:34:26 GMT 2009 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
2843 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
2845 Sat Mar 14 13:54:13 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2847 * man/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute check-man.
2849 * src/manp.c (read_config_file): Add argument to control whether the
2850 main configuration file is optional. Use a static variable to
2851 track whether we've been called already.
2852 (get_manpath): read_config_file will keep track of whether it's
2853 been called already for itself. Pass new argument.
2854 * src/manp.h (read_config_file): Update prototype.
2855 * src/man.c (main): Treat the main configuration file as optional if
2856 -l was given, since in that case we can get by well enough without
2857 it. This makes it easier to run 'make check' without first running
2860 Sat Mar 14 12:07:58 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2862 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.5.5.
2864 Sat Mar 14 00:29:51 GMT 2009 Dustin Marquess <dmarquess@gmail.com>
2866 * src/man.c (sort_candidates): Initialise count (Debian bug
2869 Tue Mar 10 23:46:08 GMT 2009 Will Day <wd+debianbugs@hpgx.net>
2871 * man/man1/man.man1 (Controlling formatted output): Fix missing
2872 backslash in -r default (Debian bug #519162).
2873 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po: Update.
2875 Tue Mar 10 23:24:27 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2877 Fix handling of pages that declare a non-default encoding in their
2878 preprocessor lines. Thanks to Hugo Herbelin for some of the ideas
2879 here (Debian bug #519095).
2881 * src/encodings.c (get_source_encoding): Note that this function
2882 should only be called if the page encoding is UTF-8. Add another
2884 * src/manconv.c (check_preprocessor_encoding): Move to ...
2885 * src/encodings.c (check_preprocessor_encoding): ... here.
2886 * src/encodings.h (check_preprocessor_encoding): Add prototype.
2887 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use preprocessor-declared encoding
2888 as page_encoding if known. Set source_encoding to page_encoding
2889 unless the latter is UTF-8.
2890 * src/Makefile.am (manconv_SOURCES): Add encodings.c.
2892 * src/encodings.c (charset_table): Use ISO-8859-15 -> latin1 entry
2893 only in the !MULTIBYTE_GROFF case; true ISO-8859-15 pages are
2894 better handled using ascii8 or preconv if possible.
2896 Tue Mar 10 14:11:14 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2898 * src/zsoelim.l (zsoelim_parse_file): Put the initial .lf request
2899 after any initial comment line, so that manconv can find encoding
2900 instructions more easily.
2902 Mon Mar 9 11:32:19 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2904 * man/check-man: Check that a manual page formats without errors;
2905 inspired by Lintian.
2906 * man/Rules.man: Run check-man over all manual pages during 'make
2909 Mon Mar 9 10:47:08 GMT 2009 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
2911 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
2913 Tue Feb 24 01:06:46 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2916 * po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
2918 Tue Feb 24 01:00:56 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2920 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Fix groff syntax error.
2922 Mon Feb 23 22:37:36 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2924 * docs/HACKING (Sending patches): Refer to new man-db-devel mailing
2927 Mon Feb 23 22:29:43 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2929 * docs/HACKING (Things to do): Improve bug tracking system link.
2931 Mon Feb 23 22:17:50 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2933 * src/man.c (locale_macros, display): Only load per-locale groff
2934 macros if preconv is available, since those macros may change the
2935 assumed input encoding.
2937 Mon Feb 23 22:11:56 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2939 * docs/NEWS: Update.
2941 Sat Feb 21 12:01:55 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2943 Load per-locale groff macros if possible. This only works with groff
2944 1.20.2 (as yet unreleased) or better, since that introduces
2945 facilities to allow us to avoid an error message if there is no
2946 macro file for the relevant locale.
2948 * src/man.c (locale_macros): New function.
2949 (display): Check the page language, and add locale_macros to the
2950 formatting pipeline provided that the language is not empty or
2953 Fri Feb 20 09:58:13 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2955 Partially rewrite building of manpath according to locale. The
2956 previous code was completely wrong: as well as handling duplicates
2957 rather oddly, it effectively handled LANGUAGE in reverse order
2958 (Debian bug #516133).
2960 * src/manp.c (add_nls_manpath): Rename to ...
2961 (get_nls_manpath): ... this. Some minor adjustments. Make
2962 manpathlist argument const and always return a freshly-allocated
2963 string. Explicitly add the top-level directory to the string in
2964 the case of English locales (although we still look for
2965 subdirectories in case of things like en_GB.UTF-8); C and POSIX
2966 already just return a copy of manpathlist.
2967 (add_nls_manpaths): New function to iterate over a colon-separated
2968 list of locales, concatenating the result of get_nls_manpath for
2969 each. Stop worrying about deduplication at this point as we used
2970 to; instead, we let create_pathlist sort that out.
2971 (create_pathlist): Keep the first of any set of duplicates rather
2972 than the last, in order to keep item order stable.
2973 * src/manp.h (add_nls_manpath): Remove prototype.
2974 (add_nls_manpaths): Add prototype.
2975 * src/man.c (main), src/whatis.c (main): Call add_nls_manpaths
2976 rather than add_nls_manpath, with appropriate adjustments.
2978 * src/man.c (main), src/whatis.c (main): Don't set internal_locale
2979 to the first component of multiple_locale. We will account for
2980 this in search paths, but shouldn't forget about internal_locale
2983 Thu Feb 19 21:50:44 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2985 * src/manp.c (add_to_manpath): Remove; this just called pathappend
2986 with the same arguments and so is pointless cruft.
2987 (add_nls_manpath): Update all callers.
2989 Tue Feb 17 00:49:28 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2991 * configure.ac: Check for gpreconv/preconv properly, i.e. by using
2992 AC_CHECK_PROGS rather than by using 'which'.
2994 Mon Feb 16 01:45:59 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
2996 * docs/NEWS: Update.
2998 Mon Feb 16 00:49:47 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3000 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): If we have preconv, it's silly to
3001 recode to the assumed page encoding and risk problems with
3002 characters unrepresentable in that encoding; we might as well just
3003 recode to UTF-8 and feed that to preconv.
3005 Mon Feb 16 00:39:22 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3007 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Append //TRANSLIT to iconv -t
3008 argument (specifically, so that hyphens get properly
3009 transliterated when using preconv and groff -Tutf8 in a non-UTF-8
3010 locale; thanks, Matthew Burgess and Alexander Patrakov).
3012 Mon Feb 16 00:20:07 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3014 * configure.ac: Check for gpreconv/preconv, which is evidence of a
3015 version of groff supporting Unicode input, and therefore good
3016 enough to assume --enable-mb-groff (thanks, Matthew Burgess).
3018 Sun Feb 15 23:48:51 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3020 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Remove obsolete first-pass
3021 language code comparison. Language codes are already handled by
3022 later code here, and this comparison caused English pages to be
3023 preferred over pages for languages whose names sort later than
3026 Thu Feb 12 11:23:19 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3028 * src/manconv_main.c (main): Correct error message if the given
3029 filename cannot be opened.
3031 Wed Feb 4 13:53:47 CET 2009 Yuri Kozlov <yuray@komyakino.ru>
3033 * man/po4a/po/ru.po: Update from Translation Project (trivial).
3035 Sun Feb 1 16:40:16 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3037 * docs/HACKING (Directory layout): Mention gnulib.
3039 Sun Feb 1 16:36:01 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3041 * lib/linelength.c (get_line_length): Use line length from standard
3042 input, but only if standard output is not a terminal; this allows
3043 commands such as 'MAN_KEEP_STDERR=1 man foo >/dev/null' to report
3044 errors based on the current line length.
3046 Sat Jan 31 12:20:42 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3048 * docs/NEWS: Update.
3050 Sat Jan 31 12:14:10 GMT 2009 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
3052 * po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
3054 Tue Jan 27 09:54:25 GMT 2009 Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au>
3056 * po/vi.po: Update from Translation Project (trivial).
3058 Tue Jan 27 09:52:18 GMT 2009 Erwin Poeze <erwin.poeze@gmail.com>
3060 * po/nl.po: Update from Translation Project.
3061 * man/THANKS: Update.
3063 Mon Jan 26 13:40:30 GMT 2009 Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au>
3065 * po/vi.po: Update from Translation Project.
3067 Mon Jan 26 13:38:11 GMT 2009 Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org>
3069 * po/pl.po, man/po4a/po/pl.po: Update from Translation Project.
3071 Sun Jan 18 23:27:11 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3073 * lib/linelength.c (get_line_length): Line length is a property of
3074 output, not input, so only check whether standard output is a
3075 terminal, not also standard input (Debian bug #512233).
3077 Thu Jan 15 16:04:01 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3079 * po/Makevars (XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Add --flag=debug:1:c-format
3080 --flag=debug_error:1:c-format.
3082 Thu Jan 15 00:00:05 GMT 2009 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3084 Update manual page search order to permit FHS-compliant installation
3085 of packages in /opt. Reported by Matt Domsch.
3087 * src/manp.c (has_mandir): Use xasprintf rather than clumsier
3088 xmalloc/strncpy/strcpy combination. Try ../share/man and share/man
3090 (get_manpath_from_path): Update header comment and debug output.
3091 * manual/files.me (Determination of the internal manpath): Update
3092 description of directory search order.
3093 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
3095 Mon Jan 5 17:47:55 GMT 2009 Yuri Kozlov <kozlov.y@gmail.com>
3097 * po/ru.po, man/po4a/po/ru.po: Update from Translation Project.
3099 Mon Jan 5 17:35:02 GMT 2009 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
3101 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
3103 Wed Dec 31 12:28:55 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3105 Trust the database if it tells us that a page is ULT_MAN (i.e. not a
3106 hard link, symbolic link, or .so link), and avoid passing the
3107 SO_LINK flag to ult_src which requires it to open the page to look
3108 for .so links. Produces roughly a threefold speed improvement for
3109 searches with thousands of results.
3111 * src/man.c (get_ult_flags): New function.
3112 (add_candidate, display_database): Use it.
3114 Wed Dec 31 11:51:41 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3116 Sort manual page candidates in one go just before displaying them,
3117 rather than insertion-sorting them along the way. Produces, very
3118 roughly, a 25% speed improvement for searches with many results
3119 (e.g. with --regex).
3121 * src/man.c (duplicate_candidates, compare_candidates): Simplify
3122 interface by passing 'struct candidate' for both sides.
3123 (compare_candidates): Explicitly stabilise the comparison as a
3124 last resort, using a new add_index member.
3125 (compare_candidates_qsort, free_candidate): New functions.
3126 (add_candidate): Adjust calls to duplicate_candidates and
3127 compare_candidates, requiring us to create the candidate structure
3128 earlier. Note that the search produces quadratic-time behaviour.
3129 Only compare candidates in cases of duplicates; otherwise just add
3130 them to the end of the list and defer sorting until later. Use
3131 free_candidate to free search->ult as well as search when freeing
3132 superseded duplicates.
3133 (sort_candidates): New function.
3134 (man): Sort candidates before displaying them.
3136 Tue Dec 30 13:08:35 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3138 * Version: 2.5.4-pre2.
3139 * po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
3141 Tue Dec 30 12:55:59 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3143 * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Add space between
3144 "MINCATWIDTH"/"MAXCATWIDTH"/"CATWIDTH" and "width".
3145 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Unfuzzy translations.
3147 Tue Dec 30 12:52:26 GMT 2008 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
3149 * po/id.po, man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project.
3151 Sun Dec 28 00:27:23 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3153 * Version: 2.5.4-pre1.
3154 * man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po, po/man-db.pot,
3157 Sun Dec 28 00:17:45 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3159 * man/po4a/Makefile.am (PO4A_ARGS): Always generate output files
3160 even if poorly translated, since Automake's generated rules will
3161 get upset otherwise.
3163 Sat Dec 27 23:47:19 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3165 * man/po4a/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Update PO and POT files on 'make
3168 Sat Dec 27 23:42:53 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3170 * man/man1/man.man1 (Controlling formatted output): Hide ".B
3171 \-\-no\-hyphenation" from po4a.
3173 Sat Dec 27 11:38:43 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3175 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.5.4.
3177 Sat Dec 27 00:00:01 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3179 Add option to disable hyphenation (Debian bug #166701).
3181 * src/man.c (options, parse_opt): Accept --no-hyphenation. Reset
3182 corresponding variable with -D.
3183 (disable_hyphenation): New function.
3184 (display): Append disable_hyphenation to the decompressor pipeline
3185 if --no-hyphenation is used.
3186 * man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS, Controlling formatted output):
3187 Document --no-hyphenation.
3189 Thu Dec 25 22:09:01 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3191 Add regular expression and shell wildcard search facilities to man
3192 (Debian bug #461319).
3194 * src/whatis.c (lower): Move to ...
3195 * lib/lower.c: ... here, with optimisation from name_to_key. New
3197 * lib/lower.h: New file.
3199 * src/whatis.c (word_fnmatch): Move to ...
3200 * lib/wordfnmatch.c: ... here, with more generic argument names. New
3202 * lib/wordfnmatch.h: New file.
3204 * src/whatis.c (main): Factor regcomp error handling out to ...
3205 * lib/xregcomp.c: ... here. New file.
3206 * lib/xregcomp.h: New file.
3208 * lib/Makefile.am (libman_a_SOURCES): Add lower.c, lower.h,
3209 wordfnmatch.c, wordfnmatch.h, xregcomp.c, and xregcomp.h.
3210 * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xregcomp.c; remove src/globbing.c.
3212 * libdb/db_lookup.c (name_to_key): Use lower.
3213 (dblookup_pattern): New function.
3214 * libdb/db_storage.h (dblookup_pattern): Add prototype.
3215 * src/globbing.c (end_pattern): Rename to ...
3216 (make_pattern): ... this. Create the whole pattern rather than
3217 merely appending section or extension components. Handle regexes
3218 if the new opts argument has the LFF_REGEX bit set.
3219 (match_in_directory): Take an opts disjunction rather than a
3220 boolean ignore_case argument; ignore_case is replaced by the
3221 LFF_MATCHCASE bit being unset. Handle regexes if opts has the
3223 (look_for_file): Take an opts disjunction rather than a boolean
3224 match_case argument; match_case is replaced by the LFF_MATCHCASE
3225 bit being set. Handle regexes if opts has the LFF_REGEX bit set.
3226 Handle shell wildcards if opts has the LFF_WILDCARD bit set (which
3227 simply means not shell-escaping unesc_name). Call make_pattern
3228 rather than end_pattern (with appropriate adjustments).
3229 * src/globbing.h (enum look_for_file_opts): New enumeration.
3230 (look_for_file): Update prototype.
3231 * src/globbing_test.c (options, parse_opt): Accept -r/--regex and
3233 (main): Update look_for_file arguments, including passing
3234 LFF_REGEX or LFF_WILDCARD if the corresponding options are used.
3235 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_whatis, purge_missing), src/zsoelim.l
3236 (zsoelim_open_file): Update look_for_file arguments.
3237 * src/whatis.c (main): Only free preg if a regular expression was
3238 compiled into it in the first place.
3240 * src/man.c (options, parse_opt): Accept --regex, --wildcard, and
3241 --names-only. Reset corresponding variables with -D. Refuse to
3242 accept both --regex and --wildcard.
3243 (try_section): Update look_for_file arguments, including passing
3244 LFF_REGEX or LFF_WILDCARD if the corresponding options are used.
3245 (try_db): Use dblookup_pattern if --regex or --wildcard is used,
3246 with corresponding options.
3247 * man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS, Finding manual pages): Document
3248 --regex, --wildcard, and --names-only.
3250 Tue Dec 23 11:17:01 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3252 Sync supported language list with Fedora's patch to man
3253 (http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/rpms/man/F-10/man-1.6b-i18n_nroff.patch?view=markup,
3254 with corrections based on /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED).
3256 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Estonian -> ISO-8859-1,
3257 Belarusian -> CP1251, Greek -> ISO-8859-7, Lithuanian ->
3258 ISO-8859-13, Latvian -> ISO-8859-13, Macedonian -> ISO-8859-5,
3259 Romanian -> ISO-8859-2, Slovenian -> ISO-8859-2, and Ukrainian ->
3261 (charset_alias_table): Map KOI8U to KOI8-U.
3262 (less_charset_table): Map KOI8-U to koi8-r (possibly not quite
3263 right but with any luck good enough).
3265 Mon Dec 8 13:08:22 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3267 * libdb/db_store.c (compare_ids): If the promote_links argument is
3268 true, consider SO_MAN equivalent to ULT_MAN.
3269 (replace_if_necessary): Update call to compare_ids.
3270 * libdb/db_storage.h (compare_ids): Update prototype.
3271 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Consider SO_MAN equivalent to
3272 ULT_MAN for the purposes of sorting candidate pages for display
3273 (Debian bug #384301).
3275 Mon Dec 8 10:08:45 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3277 Improve sorting and de-duplication of manual page candidates (Debian
3278 bugs #389762 and #496172).
3280 * src/man.c (struct candidate): Add ult member.
3281 (duplicate_candidates): Pare down to only check for duplication
3282 rather than trying to compare as well; the latter function is now
3283 handled entirely by compare_candidates. Compare the ultimate
3284 source file as the first test.
3285 (compare_candidates): Compare locale elements in candidate paths
3286 before comparing sections.
3287 (add_candidates): Look up the ultimate source file if necessary,
3288 and save it in the candidate structure. Use duplicate_candidates
3289 for duplicate testing only and compare_candidates for comparison.
3290 Insert elements at the latest possible position rather than the
3292 (try_section): Pass the ultimate source file that was already
3294 (try_db): Adjust for new add_candidate signature.
3296 Sun Dec 7 17:43:21 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3298 Make handling of terminal widths for cat pages configurable (Debian
3301 * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Recognise new MINCATWIDTH,
3302 MAXCATWIDTH, and CATWIDTH directives.
3303 * src/man_db.conf.in: Add MINCATWIDTH, MAXCATWIDTH, and CATWIDTH.
3304 * src/man.c (get_roff_line_length): Use CATWIDTH rather than the
3305 terminal width if the former is non-zero.
3306 (add_roff_line_length): Check the terminal width against
3307 MINCATWIDTH and MAXCATWIDTH rather than checking whether it
3308 differs from groff's default (via get_roff_line_length). Allow cat
3309 page saving regardless in catman mode.
3310 (make_roff_command): Forbid saving cat pages in troff mode here
3311 rather than via add_roff_line_length/get_roff_line_length.
3312 * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Document MINCATWIDTH, MAXCATWIDTH,
3315 Sun Dec 7 17:17:34 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3317 * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Document SECTION.
3319 Sat Dec 6 22:57:14 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3321 Reorganise lexgrog to stop on any unrecognised roff request, rather
3322 than continuing and often littering the database with garbage
3323 (Debian bug #271402). This also involved extending lexgrog to
3324 recognise some additional requests.
3326 * src/lexgrog.l (word): New definition.
3327 (typeface): Add .SB and .SM.
3328 (MAN_PRENAME): Go straight to MAN_REST on encountering a section
3329 request or EOF. Go to MAN_NAME on encountering roff requests that
3330 would ordinarily be processed and removed. Skip over any other
3331 roff requests, including spacing and comments.
3332 (MAN_NAME): Process .Tn and .Nm by handling their arguments as
3333 text. Process .At, .Bsx, .Bx, .Fx, .Nx, .Ox, and .Ux by inserting
3334 the appropriate text (introducing several new mini-scanners).
3335 Process .Dq by surrounding its arguments by double quotes. Go to
3336 MAN_REST on encountering any unrecognised roff request.
3337 (add_wordn_to_whatis, add_word_to_whatis, mdoc_text): New
3338 functions to support scanning of .At and friends.
3340 Fri Dec 5 22:27:03 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3342 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (FILES): List FHS database cache location
3343 first, and indicate more clearly that the others are old locations
3344 (from a comment in Debian bug #243763).
3346 Fri Dec 5 13:52:14 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3348 Make it possible to override man's default of discarding stderr when
3349 stdout is a terminal (Debian bug #480996).
3351 * src/man.c (discard_stderr): Make static.
3352 (maybe_discard_stderr): New function, checking MAN_KEEP_STDERR.
3353 (format_display_and_save, format_display, display_catman): Use
3354 maybe_discard_stderr.
3355 * man/man1/man.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Document this.
3357 Thu Dec 4 15:03:08 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3359 Exit as soon as possible if database writes return ENOSPC (Debian
3362 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs, create_db, update_db,
3363 purge_normal, purge_whatis, check_multi_key, purge_missing):
3364 Return int rather than short, to make space for -errno.
3365 * src/mandb.c (update_one_file, update_db_wrapper, mandb,
3366 process_manpath): Likewise.
3367 * src/check_mandirs.h (create_db, update_db, purge_missing): Update
3370 * src/check_mandirs.c (create_db): Return -errno for database open
3371 errors other than EACCES and EROFS.
3372 * src/mandb.c (mandb): Return early on errors from create_db and
3373 update_db_wrapper. Propagate errors from xcopy as well as
3375 (process_manpath): Return early on errors from mandb.
3376 (main): Exit FATAL on errors from process_manpath.
3378 Wed Dec 3 10:54:53 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3380 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_content): Cast time_t value to long before
3381 trying to print as %ld.
3383 * libdb/db_ndbm.c (ndbm_flclose, ndbm_flopen): Rename dbf to db to
3384 avoid shadowing a global variable.
3385 * libdb/mydbm.h: Update prototypes and gdbm/ndbm macros likewise.
3387 Wed Dec 3 10:45:07 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3389 * lib/Makefile.am (libman_a_CPPFLAGS), libdb/Makefile.am
3390 (libmandb_a_CPPFLAGS), src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Add
3391 -I$(top_builddir)/intl.
3393 Wed Dec 3 10:38:33 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3395 * gnulib: Import the gettext module. The practical effect of this is
3396 to get the intl directory included while compiling files in
3398 * autogen.sh: Prefer gnulib's version of tools/config.rpath over
3401 Wed Dec 3 10:17:50 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3403 * m4/man-po4a.m4 (MAN_PO4A): Define a PO4A Automake conditional
3405 * man/po4a/Makefile.am: Define all-local, update-po, and clean-local
3406 rules only if PO4A is set, so that (in particular) distclean works
3407 if po4a isn't installed.
3409 Tue Dec 2 16:25:53 GMT 2008 Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>
3411 * man/po4a/po/id.po: Update from Translation Project (trivial).
3413 Tue Dec 2 14:50:12 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3415 * man/po4a/po/id.po: New from Translation Project (thanks, Arif E.
3417 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add man/id/Makefile.
3418 * man/Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): Add id.
3419 * man/id/Makefile.am: New file.
3420 * man/po4a/Makefile.am (POFILES): Add po/id.po.
3421 * man/po4a/po4a.cfg (po4a_langs): Add id.
3422 * man/THANKS: Credit Arif E. Nugroho with man/id as well as id.po.
3423 * .bzrignore: Add man/id/man1, man/id/man5, and man/id/man8.
3425 Mon Nov 17 19:26:50 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3427 * configure.ac: Now that we use the ISO 8601 date format rather than
3428 language-specific date variants, there's no reason to call out to
3429 date (using options specific to GNU date) to format the date
3430 string, so just hardcode it.
3431 * docs/HACKING (Release process): datemark -> date.
3433 Mon Nov 17 17:55:35 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3435 FreeBSD build fixes.
3437 * man/Rules.man (replace.sed): Spell out
3438 $(top_builddir)/man/replace.sin in full since $< is unspecified in

3473 Mon Nov 17 10:45:55 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3475 * libdb/db_storage.h (infoalloc): Implement as a macro rather than
3476 as an inline function; seems to cause fewer problems when building

3504 Make bare .so includes (e.g. ".so foo.1" rather than ".so
3505 man1/foo.1") work, although only within the same manual page

3526 defined and supply a macro replacement otherwise, since in the
3527 latter case iconv_t is not defined.

3531 * manual/misc.me (Credits): Update with contributors of
3532 non-translation patches since I started maintaining man-db;
3533 mention man/THANKS for translator credits. Probably still missing
3534 some people, as ever ...

3567 * src/manp.c (create_pathlist): Eliminate duplicates due to
3568 symlinks. Reported by Mike Frysinger.
3569 * src/man.c (main): Emit "manpath search path" debugging message
3570 before calling create_pathlist.
3571 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
3573 Sun Oct 26 11:58:37 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3575 Support LINGUAS environment variable to control installation of

3652 Fink in Savannah bug #24043.
3654 * src/Makefile.am (whatis_LDADD): Add $(LIBCOMPRESS).
3655 (lexgrog_SOURCES, man_SOURCES, mandb_SOURCES, whatis_SOURCES): Add
3656 manconv.c and manconv.h.
3657 (manconv_SOURCES): Add manconv.h and manconv_main.c.

3660 (add_manconv): Call manconv as an internal function.
3661 * src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Take the target code as an argument
3662 rather than using a global variable.
3663 (manconv): New function, split out of main.
3664 (split_codes, parse_opt, main): Move to ...

3687 * src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Remove premature optimisation that
3688 sometimes caused us to write incomplete output.
3690 * src/encodings.c (add_manconv): Always use manconv even if iconv
3691 could theoretically do the job, as manconv has slightly more
3692 permissive behaviour that is generally more suitable for
3693 converting manual page source (Debian bug #498082).
3695 Sun Aug 31 18:38:34 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3697 * docs/NEWS: Update.

3706 (main), src/lexgrog_test.c (main), src/man.c (main), src/manconv.c
3707 (main), src/mandb.c (main), src/manpath.c (main), src/whatis.c
3708 (main), src/zsoelim.l (main): Suppress locale warning if being
3709 called by another man-db program (Debian bug #494989).
3711 Sun Aug 17 00:27:07 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3713 * src/man.c (tmp_cat_fd, man_modtime, discard_stderr): Move
3714 definitions outside MAN_CATS guard; these are needed by catman
3715 handling and (in the case of discard_stderr) manual page
3716 formatting functions as well as cat handling in man itself
3717 (Savannah bug #24044).
3719 Thu Aug 7 02:12:09 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3721 * src/man.c (display): If we fail to decompress man_file and it
3722 matters (i.e. we aren't just displaying a stray cat), then emit an
3723 error message and return early (Coverity CID #5, #6).
3725 Wed Aug 6 22:36:48 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3727 * libdb/db_lookup.c (infoalloc): Move to ...

3733 Stop declaring inline.
3735 Wed Aug 6 22:23:41 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3737 * src/man.c (display): If display_to_stdout is set, assert that
3738 man_file is non-NULL; all the stray-cat code paths ensure that
3739 neither troff nor recode is set by this point (Coverity CID #5).
3741 Wed Aug 6 21:40:37 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3743 * src/man.c (manopt_to_env): Duplicate options assigned to elements
3744 of argv, and free the copy of manopt before returning. This isn't
3745 really a bug as such, but it appeases Coverity CID #22.
3747 Thu Jul 31 02:10:06 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3749 * src/man.c (get_section_list): Fix leak of get_sections return

3756 failure before adding a candidate (Coverity CID #24).
3758 Thu Jul 31 01:41:17 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3760 * src/manp.c (add_nls_manpath): Copy manpathlist to omanpathlist
3761 after the initial locale checks, to avoid memory leaks (Coverity
3763 (get_manpath): Free return value of add_system_manpath (Coverity
3764 CID #18) and guess_manpath (Coverity CID #19) when they're simply
3765 interpolated into another string.
3767 Thu Jul 31 01:18:59 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3769 * src/man.c (display): Check for failure to open the preformatted
3770 cat file (Coverity CID #14).
3772 Thu Jul 31 01:01:13 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3774 * src/util.c (lang_dir): Free ld if returning xstrdup ("C") instead
3777 Thu Jul 31 00:55:36 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3779 * lib/pathsearch.c (pathsearch): Free path if returning early due to
3780 being given a qualified name (Coverity CID #16).
3782 Thu Jul 31 00:51:58 BST 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
3784 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_pump): Free known_source before returning

3904 * src/encodings.c (less_charset_table): Add jless_charset members.

3931 using them. (I believe we set all required fields anyway; this is

3958 async-signal-safe, so avoid calling it in a signal handler and use

4044 Fri Mar 14 00:57:37 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

4415 * man/replace.sin: Rename to ...
4416 * man/replace.sin.in: ... this.
4417 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate man/replace.sin.
4418 * man/Rules.man (CLEANFILES, replace.sed, .man1.1, .man5.5,
4419 .man8.8): Generate replace.sed at 'make' time so that
4420 $(config_file) is substituted properly. Reported by Peter
4422 * .bzrignore: Update.
4424 Mon Jan 7 11:14:04 GMT 2008 Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

4429 handle translated manual pages.
4430 (install-data-local, uninstall-local): Removed in favor of rules
4431 generated by Automake.
4432 (CLEANFILES, dist-hook): Go back to using man*_MANS.
4433 (all-am): Remove explicit dependencies.

4448 depend on it from all-am, and manually create a whatis->apropos
4449 symlink at install time; installing the symlink from the build
4450 directory using bin_SCRIPTS would install a second copy (not
4451 stripped by "make install-strip").
4453 Mon Jan 7 09:54:12 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4455 * configure.ac: Stop checking for memory.h (not used) and limits.h

4468 * src/straycats.c: Remove unnecessary #include <fcntl.h>.
4469 * src/ult_src.c: Remove S_ISLNK conditionals; Gnulib's <sys/stat.h>

4495 src/security.h, src/whatis.c: Replace __inline__ with inline
4496 everywhere. Autoconf's handling of the latter is sufficient.
4497 * include/manconfig.h.in: Remove __inline and __inline__
4500 Mon Jan 7 02:12:26 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4502 * configure.ac: Automatically detect the Debian multibyte patch to

4516 Sun Jan 6 15:01:08 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

4523 * lib/Makefile.am (libman_a_SOURCES): Remove xsigaction.c.

4548 man/fr/Makefile.am, man/it/Makefile.am, man/ja/Makefile.am,
4549 man/po4a/po4a.cfg, man/THANKS: Adjust for new directory names.
4551 Sun Jan 6 10:20:19 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

4572 man/es.UTF-8/Makefile.am, man/fr.UTF-8/Makefile.am,
4573 man/it.UTF-8/Makefile.am, man/ja.UTF-8/Makefile.am: Declare

4586 * configure.ac: Test whether each -W option (other than -Wall) that
4587 we want to add is supported, rather than adding it
4588 unconditionally. Reported by Peter Breitenlohner.
4590 Sat Jan 5 14:12:33 GMT 2008 Ivan Shmakov <oneingray@gmail.com>
4592 * configure.ac: Test for existence of
4593 "$srcdir/gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in" rather than just
4594 gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in in order to work for VPATH builds. Also
4595 reported by Peter Breitenlohner.

4610 * libdb/db_btree.c (dbstore): Rename basename argument to base to
4611 avoid clashing with the function of the same name.
4612 * libdb/db_storage.h (dbstore): Update prototype.
4613 * libdb/mydbm.h (dbver_wr, dbver_rd), src/security.h
4614 (do_system_drop_privs): Update prototype argument names to match

4854 function (thanks to the Nexenta developers).
4856 Mon Nov 12 19:24:00 GMT 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4858 * src/accessdb.c (main), src/globbing_test.c (main),
4859 src/lexgrog_test.c (main), src/zsoelim.l (main): Enable

4862 Sun Nov 11 05:43:16 GMT 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4864 * configure.ac: Issue a useful error message if
4865 gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in does not exist (reported by Ming Hua).
4867 Mon Oct 22 00:04:45 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4869 Bruno Haible notes in
4870 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2005-12/msg00061.html that
4871 setlocale is supported on all known systems, and it is in C89. Use
4874 * configure.ac: Don't check for setlocale.
4875 * src/catman.c (parse_for_sec), src/man.c (main), src/manp.c
4876 (add_nls_manpath), src/whatis.c (main): Remove HAVE_SETLOCALE
4879 Sun Oct 21 21:56:02 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

4883 Sun Oct 21 21:52:43 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4885 * configure.ac: Rationalise use of comments. Use more vertical
4888 Sun Oct 21 21:12:46 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4890 * gnulib: Import .po files (--po-base=gnulib/po --po-domain=man-db).
4891 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate gnulib/po/Makefile.in.
4892 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Build gnulib/po.
4893 * .bzrignore: Ignore gnulib/po. This is contrary to our usual
4894 practice, since this is generated by autogen.sh; but gnulib-tool
4895 gives us full .po files which are then stripped down to just the
4896 parts of Gnulib we use by make, so adding them to bzr is
4899 Sun Oct 21 19:46:26 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4901 * src/man.c (man_getopt): Fix reversed handling of -f and -k in the
4902 "incompatible options" message.
4904 Sun Oct 21 19:43:27 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4906 * configure.ac (CFLAGS): Add -Wformat-security.
4907 * src/man.c (man_getopt): Use %s as the format string for the
4908 "incompatible options" message since the message itself is not a
4909 string literal. (This is only a security problem in the presence
4910 of hostile translators.)
4912 Sun Oct 21 17:59:13 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4914 * man/Rules.man (SED_ARGS): Move to ...
4915 * man/replace.sin: ... here.
4916 * man/Rules.man (.man1.1, .man5.5, .man8.8): Use replace.sed to
4917 shorten build output.
4918 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate man/replace.sed from
4920 * .bzrignore: Ignore man/replace.sed.
4922 Sun Oct 21 13:38:09 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4924 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): If there is no content, that
4925 might just be because the key was already freed while purging an
4926 earlier multi key, so skip to the next key rather than breaking
4929 Sun Oct 21 13:33:38 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4931 * configure.ac: Check for gdbm_exists in DBLIBS as well as LIBS.
4932 Remove unused gdbm_setopt check.
4934 Sun Oct 21 01:25:00 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4936 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Pass a BUG-REPORT argument.

4940 * gnulib/lib/xmalloc.c (xstrdup): Explicitly tolerate a NULL
4941 argument, returning NULL in that case. (Also sent to Gnulib
4943 * gnulib/lib/xmalloc.patch: Add, with the above change in patch
4945 * autogen.sh: Apply xmalloc.patch after updating Gnulib.
4947 Sat Oct 20 18:20:07 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4949 * gnulib/lib/asnprintf.c, gnulib/lib/asprintf.c,

4963 Import the Gnulib xvasprintf module.
4964 * .bzrignore: Update.
4966 * libdb/mydbm.h: Add MYDBM_RESET_DSIZE and MYDBM_SET convenience
4967 macros, to obsolete most direct uses of MYDBM_SET_DPTR and
4968 MYDBM_DSIZE. Code that just wants to put a string in a datum
4969 should use MYDBM_SET.
4970 * libdb/db_btree.c (dbstore), libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Use
4972 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_multi_key): Use MYDBM_SET and xasprintf.

4991 Thu Oct 18 01:51:06 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4993 * src/wrapper.c: Include "config.h" right at the top and with a
4994 HAVE_CONFIG_H guard, like other files.
4996 Thu Oct 18 01:41:41 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
4998 * lib/pathsearch.c, src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/manp.c: Include
4999 "xgetcwd.h" rather than <xgetcwd.h>, as suggested by gnulib-tool.

5013 * src/man.c (duplicate_candidates): Use it.
5014 * src/util.c: Remove unused definition of MAX.

5245 * Makefile.in, docs/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
5247 Sun Oct 14 00:33:10 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5249 * README: Remove several restrictions lifted by the conversion to
5250 Automake. Remove documentation of how to install native language
5251 manual pages, since this is now done unconditionally. Remove
5252 documentation of the update target, which no longer exists and
5253 should no longer be needed.
5255 * docs/NEWS: Document conversion to Automake.
5257 Sun Oct 14 00:22:31 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5259 Convert to Automake. This fixes VPATH builds, fixes a number of bugs
5260 in areas such as dependency generation, provides new features such
5261 as 'make distcheck', moves complexity into autogenerated code, and
5262 prepares the way for using Gnulib more effectively.
5264 * makefile.in, include/Defines.in: Remove.
5265 * GNUmakefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in,
5266 man/Makefile.in, manual/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Translate to
5267 Automake and move to ...
5268 * Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, libdb/Makefile.am, man/Makefile.am,
5269 manual/Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am: ... here.
5270 * docs/Makefile.am, tools/Makefile.am: Build these directories
5272 * man/Rules.man, man/de.UTF-8/Makefile.am, man/es.UTF-8/Makefile.am,
5273 man/fr.UTF-8/Makefile.am, man/it.UTF-8/Makefile.am,
5274 man/ja.UTF-8/Makefile.am: Build manual pages recursively, as it
5275 makes VPATH builds easier.
5276 * Makefile.in, docs/Makefile.in, lib/Makefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in,
5277 man/Makefile.in, man/de.UTF-8/Makefile.in,
5278 man/es.UTF-8/Makefile.in, man/fr.UTF-8/Makefile.in,
5279 man/it.UTF-8/Makefile.in, man/ja.UTF-8/Makefile.in,
5280 manual/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in, tools/Makefile.in: Add
5282 * README: Remove mention of include/Defines.
5283 * autogen.sh: Call automake-1.10 --add-missing --copy.
5284 * m4/man-trans-subst.m4: New macro.
5285 * configure.ac: Various changes for Automake. AC_SUBST man_owner,
5286 and set man_mode rather than man_install_flags. Set
5287 config_file_dirname. Calculate transformed versions of program
5288 names (using MAN_TRANS_SUBST) here for use in Automake variables.
5289 * docs/HACKING (Directory layout): Mention automake.
5291 Arrange that each file only needs to be built once.
5293 * src/globbing.c: Split main program out to ...
5294 * src/globbing_test.c: ... here.
5295 * src/lexgrog.l: Split main program out to ...
5296 * src/lexgrog_test.c: ... here.
5297 * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/globbing_test.c and src/lexgrog_test.c.
5298 * src/whatis.c (args, long_options): Include -a/--and
5300 (usage): Replace with a wrapper selecting between ...
5301 (apropos_usage, whatis_usage): ... these.
5302 (apropos, whatis): Rename to ...
5303 (do_apropos, do_whatis): ... these, respectively.
5304 (use_grep, do_whatis, parse_name, match, do_apropos, search,
5305 main): Use run-time conditionals rather than compile-time
5307 (main): Detect whether we are being invoked as "apropos" or
5308 "whatis" and adjust behaviour accordingly.
5309 * src/Makefile.am: Adjust for the above. Make apropos a symlink to
5312 Make VPATH builds work, and simplify some includes.
5314 * configure.ac, m4/man-fnmatch.m4: Define FNMATCH_H, GETOPT_H, and
5315 GLOB_H to the respective header names if system versions do not
5317 * lib/hashtable.h: Remove unnecessary libdb includes.
5318 * lib/decompress.h, lib/glob.c, libdb/db_btree.c, libdb/db_delete.c,
5319 libdb/db_gdbm.c, libdb/db_lookup.c, libdb/db_ndbm.c,
5320 libdb/db_storage.h, libdb/db_store.c, libdb/db_ver.c,
5321 src/accessdb.c, src/catman.c, src/check_mandirs.c,
5322 src/check_mandirs.h, src/compression.c, src/convert_name.c,
5323 src/descriptions.h, src/descriptions_store.c, src/encodings.c,
5324 src/fake_security.c, src/filenames.c, src/filenames.h,
5325 src/globbing.c, src/lexgrog.l, src/lexgrog.l-2.3.8,
5326 src/lexgrog.l-2.4a, src/lexgrog.l.new, src/man.c, src/manconv.c,
5327 src/mandb.c, src/manp.c, src/manpath.c, src/security.c,
5328 src/straycats.c, src/ult_src.c, src/util.c, src/version.c,
5329 src/whatis.c, src/wrapper.c, src/zsoelim.l: Remove lib/ and libdb/
5330 prefixes from includes. Include <fnmatch.h>, <getopt.h>, and
5331 <glob.h> directly rather than using a forest of #ifdefs, since the
5332 copies in lib/ are now not built if a system version exists.
5334 * .bzrignore: Update.
5336 Sat Oct 13 15:04:06 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5338 * lib/popen.c, m4/man-pclose.m4: Remove; we no longer need popen or
5340 * configure.ac: Remove call to MAN_FUNC_PCLOSE.
5342 Sat Oct 13 11:55:21 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5344 * configure.ac: Add --with-sections option to change the default
5346 * src/man_db.conf.in: Use its output.
5347 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
5349 Fri Oct 12 12:22:52 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5351 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.5.1.
5353 Fri Oct 12 11:57:50 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5355 * src/manconv.c (try_iconv): If we need to try the next encoding in
5356 the list, make sure to do that before writing the output buffer.
5358 Fri Oct 12 10:21:07 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5360 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Add trailing newline to debugging output.
5362 Fri Oct 12 01:47:49 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5364 * src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Improve debugging output slightly.
5366 Fri Oct 12 01:43:25 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5368 * src/man.c (format_display_and_save, format_display,
5369 display_catman): Only discard stderr from formatting processes if
5370 stdout is a terminal.
5372 Fri Oct 12 01:32:52 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5374 * src/encodings.c (device_table): groff's ascii device only supports
5375 ASCII input, not ISO-8859-1.
5376 (compatible_encodings): If the output is ASCII, this is probably
5377 because the caller explicitly asked for it, so allow recoding to
5380 Fri Oct 12 00:48:42 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5382 * src/whatis.c (main): locale is a constant pointer; free
5383 internal_locale instead (Debian bug #446302).
5385 Thu Oct 11 01:40:51 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5387 * src/man.c (display): Free format_cmd on two more early return
5390 Thu Oct 11 00:53:31 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5392 * src/man.c (display): I don't think it's possible for decomp to be
5393 NULL on the display_to_stdout path, but better safe than sorry.
5395 Thu Oct 11 00:38:56 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5397 * src/man.c (display): Connect up the decompression pipeline in the
5398 display_to_stdout case too (Debian bug #446189).
5399 (checked_system): Remove, no longer used.
5401 Thu Oct 11 00:21:49 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5403 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Perform input encoding conversion
5404 for troff output as well as nroff output.
5406 Wed Oct 10 09:39:53 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5408 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (DATABASE CACHES): Fix "occured" typo (thanks,
5409 Alfie Costa; Debian bug #446044).
5411 Mon Oct 8 02:24:19 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5413 * lib/popen.c (popen), src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions),
5414 src/man.c (add_candidate), src/manp.c (add_dir_to_path_list): Use
5415 xmalloc instead of malloc.
5416 * lib/pipeline.c (get_block): Use xrealloc instead of realloc.
5418 Mon Oct 8 02:15:47 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5420 * docs/HACKING: Minor release process adjustment now that we're no
5423 Mon Oct 8 02:13:15 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5425 * README: Building the manual requires running ./configure now.
5427 Mon Oct 8 02:09:55 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5429 The strappend function is in the namespace reserved by C99
5430 7.26.10/7.26.11; rename it to appendstr.
5432 * lib/strappend.c: Rename to ...
5433 * lib/appendstr.c: ... this. Rename function.
5434 * lib/Makefile.in (ALLSRCS, ALL): Build appendstr instead of
5436 * lib/README: Update credit.
5437 * include/manconfig.h.in: Update prototype.
5438 * lib/decompress.c, lib/pathsearch.c, lib/pipeline.c,
5439 lib/tempfile.c, libdb/db_delete.c, src/accessdb.c, src/catman.c,
5440 src/check_mandirs.c, src/compression.c, src/convert_name.c,
5441 src/encodings.c, src/filenames.c, src/globbing.c,
5442 src/lexgrog.l.new, src/man.c, src/manconv.c, src/mandb.c,
5443 src/manp.c, src/straycats.c, src/ult_src.c, src/util.c,
5444 src/whatis.c, src/zsoelim.l: Update all callers.
5445 * docs/HACKING: Update reference.
5446 * docs/TODO: Remove item for this.
5448 Mon Oct 8 01:21:10 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5450 * GNUmakefile.in (_man): Ship po4a files.
5451 (dist): Create the necessary directories.
5453 Mon Oct 8 01:16:07 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5455 Build the manual automatically. This avoids problems trying to do a
5456 distclean (distclean at the top level runs ./config.status --recheck
5457 and regenerates manual/Makefile, but manual/Makefile requires
5458 include/Defines to exist, so there is no way to distclean both the
5459 top level and manual/).
5461 * GNUmakefile.in (EVERYTHING, ALL): Add manual.
5462 (_subdirs): Remove manual, now included in $(EVERYTHING).
5464 Sun Oct 7 17:05:54 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5467 * configure.ac, docs/NEWS, man-db.lsm: Update.
5469 Sun Oct 7 17:01:47 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5471 * src/lexgrog.l (ja_name): Add another possible translation.
5473 Sun Oct 7 15:19:15 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5475 * manual/Makefile.in (distclean): Remove Makefile.
5477 Sun Oct 7 14:28:27 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5479 * po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
5481 Sun Oct 7 14:24:31 BST 2007 Ming Hua <minghua-guest@users.alioth.debian.org>
5483 * po/zh_CN.po: New translation.
5484 * po/LINGUAS: Add zh_CN.
5485 * man/THANKS: Add translator credit.
5487 Wed Sep 26 17:57:44 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5489 * src/util.c (escape_shell): '=' is conceivably a shell
5490 metacharacter if used in the first word of a command (although I
5491 can't see anywhere in man-db where this might actually happen,
5492 barring very unlikely settings of $BROWSER).
5494 Wed Sep 26 17:51:45 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5496 * src/globbing.c (look_for_file): Don't escape the hierarchy path;
5497 it isn't necessary and it causes problems for paths containing
5498 metacharacters (Debian bug #444187).
5499 * src/globbing.h (look_for_file): Update prototype.
5501 Tue Sep 18 11:29:26 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5503 * man/po4a/po4a.cfg: Add po4a mechanism for manual page translation,
5504 as the Simplified Chinese translator would like to use this.
5505 * man/po4a/po/man-db.pot: Add generated file.
5507 * man/man1/apropos.man1, man/man1/lexgrog.man1, man/man1/man.man1,
5508 man/man1/manconv.man1, man/man1/manpath.man1,
5509 man/man1/whatis.man1, man/man1/zsoelim.man1,
5510 man/man5/manpath.man5, man/man8/accessdb.man8,
5511 man/man8/catman.man8, man/man8/mandb.man8: Some strings should not
5512 be translated. Use the ".if !'po4a'hide'" idiom to mark them.
5513 * man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): Adjust some spacing.
5515 Tue Sep 18 08:59:55 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5517 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Switch Simplified Chinese to
5518 GBK by default. Ming Hua points out that GBK is a superset of
5519 EUC-CN, and indeed all Simplified Chinese manual pages I can find
5520 can be recoded from GBK without hassle. I'm less certain about
5521 changing the output encoding, but for CJK encodings it's best for
5522 these to be the same at the moment.
5524 Mon Sep 17 16:13:37 BST 2007 Daniel Nylander <po@danielnylander.se>
5526 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
5528 Mon Sep 17 14:27:15 BST 2007 Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au>
5530 * po/vi.po: Update from Translation Project.
5532 Mon Sep 17 00:34:17 UTC 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5534 * src/lexgrog.l (ja_name): Oops; make the first translation keep
5537 Mon Sep 17 00:26:27 UTC 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5539 * src/lexgrog.l (ja_name): Add another possible translation.
5541 Mon Sep 17 00:11:38 UTC 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5543 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Break after execvp, otherwise we
5544 segfault if execvp fails.
5546 Sun Sep 16 23:15:27 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5548 * Version: 2.5.0-pre2.
5549 * man-db.lsm (Keywords): Add manconv.
5551 Sun Sep 16 20:41:36 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5553 * GNUmakefile.in (__distclean): Remove config.status.lineno.
5554 * .bzrignore: Ignore ./config.status.lineno.
5556 Sun Sep 16 20:38:32 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5558 * man/Makefile.in: Deal more neatly with manual pages without
5559 complete sets of translations.
5561 Sun Sep 16 20:25:24 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5563 Add more intelligent guessing of manual page encodings. Thanks to
5564 Adam Borowski for discussion leading to this.
5566 * src/manconv.c: New program.
5567 * man/man1/manconv.man1: Document it.
5568 * .bzrignore: Ignore src/manconv.
5569 * include/Defines.in (manconv): Add.
5570 * man/Makefile.in (manconv, thmanconv, manconv.1): Add.
5571 (process_manpage): Add manconv and thmanconv.
5572 (allmanpages): Add ./man1/manconv.1.
5573 (nlsinstall): Install manconv.1.
5574 (nlsuninstall): Uninstall manconv.1.
5575 * src/Makefile.in (PRIVTOOLS, all): Add manconv.
5576 * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/manconv.c.
5577 * po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
5579 * src/man.c (PP_COOKIE): Move to ...
5580 * include/manconfig.h.in (PP_COOKIE): ... here.
5582 * src/encodings.c (add_manconv): New function to use manconv instead
5583 of iconv where appropriate.
5584 * src/encodings.h (add_manconv): Add prototype.
5585 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Use it.
5586 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use it. Remove coding: preprocessor
5587 string handling, as manconv deals with that now.
5588 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Use it.
5589 * src/Makefile.in (DEFS_encodings.o): Add, defining location of
5592 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
5594 Sun Sep 16 12:41:05 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5596 * src/catman.c (main), src/globbing.c (main), src/lexgrog.l (main),
5597 src/man.c (man_getopt), src/mandb.c (main), src/manpath.c (main),
5598 src/whatis.c (main), src/zsoelim.l (main): Pass NULL as the fifth
5599 argument to getopt_long rather than requiring an unused variable.
5601 Tue Sep 11 13:49:33 BST 2007 Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au>
5603 * po/vi.po: Update from Translation Project.
5605 Mon Sep 10 10:29:40 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5607 * docs/TODO: Miscellaneous updates.
5609 Mon Sep 10 10:26:57 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5611 * docs/INSTALL.autoconf: Update to instructions from Autoconf 2.61.
5613 Mon Sep 10 10:20:23 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5615 * manual/misc.me (NLS message catalogues): Update Translation
5618 Mon Sep 10 10:17:43 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5620 * manual/Makefile: Rename to ...
5621 * manual/Makefile.in: ... this. Write out a version file with the
5622 current version of man-db.
5623 * manual/man_db.me: Use the automatically-generated version file
5624 rather than hardcoding the version. Set the manual version to
5625 simply the version of man-db.
5626 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add manual/Makefile.
5627 * GNUmakefile.in (_manual): Distribute manual/Makefile.in rather
5628 than manual/Makefile.
5629 * .bzrignore: Update.
5631 Mon Sep 10 09:17:17 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5633 * Version: 2.5.0-pre1. I mistakenly used version 2.4.5-pre1 earlier.
5635 Mon Sep 10 09:11:05 BST 2007 Clytie Siddall <clytie@riverland.net.au>
5637 * po/vi.po: Update from Translation Project.
5639 Mon Sep 10 00:15:31 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5641 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Upgrade to gettext 0.16.1.
5642 * .bzrignore: Update ignores.
5644 Sun Sep 9 23:49:37 BST 2007 Daniel Nylander <po@danielnylander.se>
5646 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
5648 Sun Sep 9 22:50:22 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5650 * manual/format.me (Format scripts): Adjust for renaming of
5651 tools/mandb_[nt]fmt-script to tools/mandb_fmt-script.
5653 Sun Sep 9 21:03:25 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5655 * manual/comp.me (Compressed manual pages): Using compressed manual
5656 pages is perfectly reasonable these days; stop recommending
5659 Sun Sep 9 20:57:16 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5661 * manual/files.me (Displaying latin1 characters on a Linux virtual
5662 terminal): Rename to ...
5663 (Displaying non-ASCII characters on a Linux virtual terminal): ...
5664 this. Mention console-tools as an alternative to kbd. Remove
5665 detailed advice on configuring kbd as it is now woefully out of
5666 date. Recommend the UTF-8 encoding again.
5668 Sun Sep 9 20:49:59 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5670 * manual/files.me (NLS manual pages): Update for new per-locale
5671 directory handling. Recommend UTF-8 encoding.
5673 Sun Sep 9 19:39:36 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5675 * manual/intro.me (The manual page system): Refer to /usr/share/man
5676 rather than /usr/man.
5677 * manual/sec.me (Package specific manual page sections): Likewise.
5678 * manual/files.me (Manual page hierarchies, Other OS's manual pages,
5679 NLS manual pages): Likewise.
5680 * manual/leader.me: Update copyright years.
5682 Sun Sep 9 19:24:56 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5684 * docs/NEWS: Reorder, roughly by importance.
5686 Sun Sep 9 09:01:30 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5688 * GNUmakefile.in (_root): Add autogen.sh to the distribution; it's
5689 useful if you need to change autotools input files.
5691 Sun Sep 9 08:37:04 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5693 * Version: 2.4.5-pre1 (for translators).
5694 * po/man-db.pot, po/*.po: Update.
5696 Mon Sep 3 14:34:06 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5698 * src/manp.c (add_nls_manpath): Handle the POSIX locale the same way
5701 Mon Sep 3 13:48:13 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5703 * man/man1/whatis.man1 (OPTIONS): Refer to whatis rather than
5704 apropos in description of --manpath.
5706 Mon Sep 3 13:45:30 BST 2007 Nicolas François <nicolas.francois@centraliens.net>
5708 * man/man1/apropos.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Remove stray space in
5709 description of POSIXLY_CORRECT. Patch from Debian bug #281811.

5734 * man/THANKS: Update credits.
5736 Mon Sep 3 11:38:11 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5738 Create and use databases for non-English manual hierarchies (Debian
5739 bug #29448). Extensive changes elsewhere to support this by means of
5740 better UTF-8 handling and knowledge of more languages.
5742 * src/check_mandirs.c (make_database_directory): New function.
5743 (create_db, update_db): Use it.
5744 (purge_missing): Check that the database exists before starting.
5745 * src/mandb.c (process_manpath): New function, split out from main.
5746 Make the single_filename check aware that the file might be in a
5747 per-locale subdirectory that we aren't processing right now.
5748 (main): Use it. Move man_owner, purged, and strays to file scope.
5749 Build databases for all per-locale subdirectories.
5750 * src/straycats.c (straycats): Constify manpath argument.
5751 * src/whatis.c (main): Sync locale handling with src/man.c, in order
5752 to look up per-locale databases correctly. Based on a patch by
5753 Nicolas François (Debian bug #281811).
5754 * include/manconfig.h.in (straycats): Update prototype.
5756 * src/man.c (duplicate_candidates): New function to determine
5757 whether candidates are substantially duplicated, and if so in
5758 which direction. The logic is better than before: it now knows how
5759 to compare locales and pick the best available candidate for each
5760 language, and prefers UTF-8 candidates if everything else is
5762 (add_candidate): Move duplication logic to duplicate_candidates.
5763 Adjust insertion handling so that we can drop old candidates in
5764 favour of new candidates.
5765 * src/manp.c (check_and_give): Remove.
5766 (unpack_locale_bits): New function, inspired by _nl_explode_name
5768 (free_locale_bits): New function.
5769 (add_nls_manpath): Instead of trying individual directories (which
5770 doesn't work so well with character set aliasing), iterate over
5771 all subdirectories of each manpath entry and add all those
5772 matching the current locale's language and (if specified)
5773 territory. This now includes ll.CODESET as well as more
5774 conventional locale names.
5775 * src/manp.h: Declare 'struct locale_bits'. Prototype
5776 unpack_locale_bits and free_locale_bits.
5778 * src/man.c (lang_dir): Move to ...
5779 * src/util.c (lang_dir): ... here.
5780 * src/lexgrog.l (long_options, args, main): New -E/--encoding
5782 (usage): Document it.
5783 (cs_name, hu_name, ja_name, ru_name): Recode to UTF-8.
5784 (find_name): Add encoding argument. Guess the page's encoding from
5785 its filesystem location (or use encoding if supplied), and add an
5786 iconv command to recode it to UTF-8.
5787 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document --encoding.
5788 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Guess the page's encoding from
5789 its filesystem location, and add an iconv command to recode it to

5793 (display): Convert output from UTF-8 to locale charset.
5794 (main): Initialise iconv descriptor.

5803 * src/lexgrog.l (cs_name, hu_name): Expand character classes
5804 containing non-ASCII characters into the form (a|b|...); flex
5805 doesn't understand Unicode well enough to deal with them
5807 (cs_name, ru_name): Add more possible translations.
5808 (ko_name, sk_name, sr_name, tr_name, zh_CN_name, zh_TW_name): Add.
5809 (find_name_decompressed): Ignore exit status from decompressor
5810 pipeline; iconv may exit non-zero on misencoded pages, but if we
5811 manage to extract a whatis from it anyway then it doesn't really
5814 * src/whatis.c (usage): Document -L/--locale.
5815 * man/man1/apropos.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Likewise.
5816 * man/man1/whatis.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Likewise.

5825 character set aliases.
5826 (get_canonical_charset_name): New function to inspect
5827 charset_alias_table.
5828 (get_page_encoding): Use get_canonical_charset_name. Adjust FHS
5829 commentary, since we now support its craziness.
5830 (get_standard_output_encoding): Use get_canonical_charset_name.
5831 (get_locale_charset): Likewise.
5832 * src/encodings.h: Prototype get_canonical_charset_name.
5834 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Use EUC-CN rather than GB2312
5835 and BIG5HKSCS rather than BIG5-HKSCS (canonical names according to
5836 glibc's /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules).
5837 (charset_table): Likewise.

5847 * src/man.c (display): Likewise.
5848 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Likewise.
5849 * src/zsoelim.l (open_file): Likewise.
5850 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Append 'col -bx' to the
5851 decompressor pipeline rather than connecting two pipelines
5852 together. Don't call pipeline_wait by hand as pipeline_free will

5890 (thanks, Alfie Costa; Debian bug #259340).
5892 * src/whatis.c (args, long_options, main): New -a/--and option for
5894 (usage): Document it.
5895 (apropos): Store a count of how many times each item has been seen
5896 in the hashtable. If --and was given, only display an item if its
5897 count equals the number of supplied keywords.

5908 * configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROGS rather than
5909 AC_PATH_PROG/AC_PATH_PROGS, and MAN_CHECK_PROGS rather than
5910 MAN_PATH_PROGS. This fixes problems due to system utilities moving
5911 around on $PATH (Debian bug #385651).
5913 Wed Aug 29 10:42:08 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

5927 * src/mandb.c (main): Revert inadvertently-committed debugging
5928 change to straycats logic.

5971 Tue Aug 28 17:19:16 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
5973 Implement and use a decompression library. This allows cat pages to
5974 be saved in the background (Debian bug #18452) and operation with a
5975 read-only /tmp (Debian bug #165499).
5977 * lib/pipeline.h (struct command): Add support for commands that
5978 consist of calling a function rather than executing a process.
5979 (struct pipeline): Add want_infile and want_outfile members. Note
5980 that infile and outfile default to NULL. Add source, buffer,
5981 buflen, bufmax, line_cache, and peek_offset members.

5996 (pipeline_tostring): Use command_tostring.
5997 (pipeline_start): Implement want_infile, want_outfile, and
5998 function commands. Make zero-command case work properly (read
5999 directly from input file). Flush all pending stdio output so that
6000 subprocesses don't inherit it.
6001 (pipeline_connect, pipeline_pump, get_block, pipeline_read,
6002 pipeline_peek, pipeline_peek_size, pipeline_peek_skip, get_line,
6003 pipeline_readline, pipeline_peekline): New functions.

6012 decompressor pipeline out to ...
6013 (find_name_decompressed): ... here.
6014 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Remove decompression code;

6036 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Use decompression layer.
6037 Rearrange control flow a bit to reduce duplication. Remove use of

6042 rather than older decompression methods.
6043 * src/zsoelim.l (YY_INPUT): Define to read from a 'struct pipeline'.
6044 (<so>\"?[^ \t\n\"]+\"?): Call open_file only once; let it worry
6045 about compression extensions. Decrement so_stack_ptr here if
6046 open_file fails rather than having it do it.
6047 (<lfname>\"?[^ \t\n\"]+\"?): Free the old value of NAME, if set.
6048 (<<EOF>>): Clean up used pipeline and free NAME. Remove so_delete
6050 (main): Let open_file handle stdin.

6060 (decompress, remove_ztemp, get_ztemp): Remove.
6061 (find_name_decompressed): Add prototype.

6111 ruid check is no longer necessary now that
6112 drop_effective_privs/regain_effective_privs handle nesting
6115 Sun Aug 26 19:40:12 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6117 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): If MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING is set in

6140 * src/lexgrog.l (main): Skip descriptions with NULL name or whatis.
6141 This causes pages with no description to be flagged as parse

6168 * src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions): Skip name tokens
6169 containing whitespace, as they are almost never useful as manual
6171 * man/man1/lexgrog.1 (WHATIS PARSING), docs/NEWS: Document this.
6173 Sun Aug 19 21:00:20 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6175 * src/lexgrog.l: Skip over .ft font change requests, and the .Vb and
6176 .Ve definitions used by pod2man to begin and end verbatim mode.

6179 Sun Aug 19 20:48:42 BST 2007 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6181 Truncate apropos/whatis output to the terminal width by default
6182 (thanks, Dan Jacobson; Debian bug #411721).
6184 * lib/linelength.c: New file for terminal line length detection,
6185 split out from src/man.c. Unlike the previous implementation, this
6186 does its own memoisation rather than requiring explicit

6651 (main): Remember to assign the result of getcwd_allocated
6652 somewhere. Free various variables before exiting.
6653 * src/manp.c (add_sections): Free section_list; comment was
6655 (add_nls_manpath): Free temp_locale.
6656 (guess_manpath): Constify path. Free result of get_manpath before

6660 (free_pathlist): New function.
6661 * src/manp.h (free_pathlist): Add prototype.
6662 * src/util.c (mkdbname): Don't allocate mkdbname statically; it's
6663 less confusing just to free it each time.

6665 (search): Free database.
6666 (main): Free regular expression after each search. Free various
6667 variables before exiting.

6671 Teach lexgrog front-end about pages with multiple name/description
6672 pairs (Debian bug #342834).

6675 NULL to suppress ensuring that base_name is in the returned list.
6676 (gripe_bad_store, store_descriptions): Move to ...
6677 * src/descriptions_store.c: ... here.
6678 * src/lexgrog.l (main): Use parse_descriptions to split lg.whatis up
6679 into its component descriptions, and display each on a separate
6681 * src/Makefile.in (mandb, lexgrog): Adjust object lists for the
6683 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
6685 Tue Dec 26 20:52:50 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6687 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Fail with an error message if argv is
6688 a character or block device, as we may well hang trying to read
6689 from it and it almost certainly isn't what the caller intended
6690 anyway (Debian bug #341706).
6692 Tue Dec 26 20:11:04 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6694 * docs/HACKING (Revision control): New section.

6734 src/wrapper.c, zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Include "gettext.h" rather than
6735 <libintl.h>. Make sure not to include <locale.h> before
6736 "gettext.h", for portability to Solaris.
6737 * src/wrapper.c: Drop ENABLE_NLS test, now handled by gettext.h.

6765 Sun Nov 5 23:41:45 PST 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6767 * configure.ac: Call AC_GNU_SOURCE before AC_PROG_CC, as autoconf
6768 objects otherwise (due to macros called by AM_GNU_GETTEXT). Let's
6769 hope using _GNU_SOURCE for everything doesn't break anything ...
6771 Sat Nov 4 17:24:27 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6773 * GNUmakefile.in, docs/HACKING: Update references to configure.in to

6785 Sat Nov 4 16:41:59 GMT 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

6805 (get_roff_encoding): Skip CJK UTF-8 hack if preconv is available.
6806 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use preconv if available to recode
6807 input even if the encoding is detected by means other than looking
6808 at the preprocessor line. Skip iconv preprocessing in that case.
6810 Thu Aug 10 17:00:21 BST 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6812 * src/encodings.c (get_groff_preconv): New function, moved from
6813 src/man.c because other functions here are going to need it.
6814 * src/encodings.h (get_groff_preconv): Prototype it.
6815 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use it.
6817 Wed Aug 9 14:58:50 BST 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6819 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Set page_encoding to pp_encoding if
6820 available. Plug a memory leak.
6822 Wed Aug 9 14:45:13 BST 2006 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6824 * include/manconfig.h.in (GNUC_PREREQ): Check for __GNUC_MINOR__,

6829 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Recognise preprocessor encoding
6830 declarations like "-*- coding: utf8 -*-". Invoke the "preconv"
6831 preprocessor for these if available.

6835 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_content): Break up dsize calculation
6836 differently for legibility.

6905 Wed Sep 21 10:56:22 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6907 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Queue SIGCHLD for the whole time
6908 we're collecting child process statuses; we need to keep a careful
6909 count of processes. Forget any previous errno before calling
6910 reap_children. Should fix Debian bug #326488.
6912 Wed Sep 21 10:47:51 BST 2005 Nicolas Velin <nsv@fr.st>
6914 * po/fr.po: Update from Rosetta.

6935 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.4.4.
6937 Wed Sep 21 09:45:48 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6939 * configure.in: Substitute basename of config_file as
6940 config_file_basename.
6941 * src/man_db.conf.in: Use @config_file_basename@ in header comment.
6943 Thu Sep 1 14:10:07 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

6950 * include/manconfig.h.in (ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Define to a
6951 function attribute enabling unused result checking if using GCC
6953 (xmalloc, xrealloc, strappend): Use it.
6955 Wed Aug 31 01:23:55 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6957 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Simplified Chinese ->
6958 GB2312 and Traditional Chinese -> BIG5.
6959 (charset_table): Use the nippon device for BIG5, GB2312, and GBK.
6960 (device_table): Assume that the nippon device is
6961 encoding-agnostic, since it handles several encodings now.
6962 (compatible_encodings, get_roff_encoding): Extend the ja_JP.UTF-8
6963 hack to cover zh_CN.UTF-8, zh_SG.UTF-8, and zh_TW.UTF-8 too.
6965 Sun Jul 31 16:34:15 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6967 * docs/COPYING, docs/COPYING.LIB: Update from www.gnu.org to pick up
6968 the FSF's new address.
6969 * Update all other GPL and LGPL notices with the new address (apart
6970 from those in externally-maintained files).
6972 Wed Jul 27 11:29:02 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6974 * src/man.c (gripe_no_man): Don't emit a different message in the
6975 troff case; it's extra translation load and nobody really cares
6976 about the distinction. Avoid splitting up a sentence into two
6977 translatable pieces (Debian bug #320111).
6978 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fi.po,

6987 Tue Jul 12 02:08:41 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6989 * include/manconfig.h.in (ATTRIBUTE_MALLOC): Define to a function
6990 attribute enabling malloc return value checking if using GCC 2.96
6992 (xmalloc, xrealloc, xstrdup, xstrndup): Use it.
6994 Tue Jul 12 01:59:10 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
6996 * include/manconfig.h.in (GNUC_PREREQ): Helper macro borrowed from
6998 (ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF): Define to a function attribute enabling
6999 printf-style format string checking if using GCC 2.0 or newer.
7000 (ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL): Use GNUC_PREREQ. Use __sentinel__ rather
7001 than sentinel to avoid possible clashes with other macros.
7002 * lib/error.h (error): Add printf format attribute.
7003 * lib/xmalloc.c: Include "error.h" rather than redeclaring error.
7005 Mon Jul 11 18:12:58 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7007 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Emit a debugging message.
7009 Mon Jul 11 14:41:52 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7011 * include/manconfig.h.in: Define ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL to a function
7012 attribute enabling sentinel checking if using GCC 4.0 or newer.
7013 (strappend): Use it.
7014 * lib/pipeline.h (command_new_args, command_args,
7015 pipeline_new_commands, pipeline_command_args, pipeline_commands):
7018 Mon Jul 11 14:38:30 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7020 * lib/Makefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in,
7021 zsoelim/Makefile.in: Stop using -I-; it's deprecated in GCC 4.0,
7022 and it doesn't seem worth the effort of switching to the -iquote
7025 Mon Jul 11 12:02:57 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7027 * src/man.c (usage): Fix "gditview" typo (Debian bug #317696).
7028 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fi.po,
7029 po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pl.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/ro.po,
7030 po/ru.po, po/sv.po: Unfuzzy all translations.
7032 Fri Jul 8 13:12:29 BST 2005 Ralph Corderoy <ralph@inputplus.co.uk>
7034 * src/man.c (display): Drop "Reformatting %s, please wait..."
7035 message; it's been years since processing power was low enough for
7036 this to be relevant.
7038 Mon Jul 4 00:49:36 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7040 * GNUmakefile.in (EVERYTHING, ALL): List intl before lib, since
7041 intl/Makefile runs config.status and thus recreates lib/Makefile
7042 after lib has been distcleaned.
7044 Sun Jul 3 22:14:02 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7047 * configure.in, docs/NEWS, man-db.lsm: Update.

7050 Sun Jul 3 20:55:13 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7052 * configure.in: Define HAVE_GZIP, HAVE_COMPRESS, and HAVE_BZIP2 as
7054 * include/comp_src.h.in: Conditionalise compressor list on
7055 HAVE_GZIP, HAVE_COMPRESS, and HAVE_BZIP2 rather than on GUNZIP,
7056 UNCOMPRESS, and BUNZIP2; if a compressor isn't detected, the
7057 latter will end up as empty strings, not undefined. Thanks to Paul
7058 Slootman (Debian bug #196097).
7059 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7061 Sun Jul 3 18:58:14 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7063 * GNUmakefile.in (__distclean): Remove po/Makevars.template.

7145 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
7146 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pl.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/sv.po: Update with
7149 Sat Jun 4 11:48:58 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7151 * po/pl.po: Fix typo in Last-Translator e-mail address.
7153 Sat Jun 4 11:46:13 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7155 * po/pl.po: New, from Robert Luberda (Debian bug #245057).
7156 * po/LINGUAS: Add pl.
7157 * man/THANKS: Add translator credit.
7159 Sat Jun 4 10:59:29 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7161 * lib/getcwdalloc.c, lib/getcwdalloc.h: Fix header comments.
7163 Sat Jun 4 10:55:47 BST 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7165 * src/lexgrog.l (MAN_NAME): Terminate NAME section parsing on
7166 encountering a macro definition (Debian bug #275562).
7168 Wed Jan 5 15:08:06 GMT 2005 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7170 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Turkish -> ISO-8859-9.
7172 Sun Dec 12 21:48:04 CET 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7174 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_sigchld): Don't bother saving and
7175 restoring errno if SIGCHLD is being queued.
7177 Mon Nov 8 09:57:27 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7179 * lib/pathsearch.c: New file, containing functions for searching
7181 * lib/pathsearch.h: Prototype pathsearch_executable().
7182 * lib/Makefile.in: Always compile pathsearch.c.
7183 * src/man.c (find_in_path): Remove; replaced by
7184 pathsearch_executable().
7185 (gripe_no_man): Use pathsearch_executable() instead of
7188 Mon Nov 8 09:52:02 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7190 Get rid of plain getcwd(); this allows getting rid of most uses of
7193 * lib/getcwdalloc.c: New file, providing an allocating version of
7195 * lib/getcwdalloc.h: Prototype it.
7196 * lib/Makefile.in: Always compile getcwdalloc.c.
7198 * src/man.c (main, format_display): Use getcwd_allocated() instead
7200 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
7201 * src/manp.c (add_dir_to_path_list): Likewise.
7203 Mon Nov 8 09:40:07 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7205 * lib/hashtable.c (null_hash_free): No-op hash_free_ptr provider,
7207 * lib/hashtable.h (null_hash_free): Prototype it.
7209 Mon Nov 8 09:36:55 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7211 * acinclude.m4: Improve quoting to stop aclocal complaining. Improve
7212 indentation. Get rid of unnecessary changequote().
7214 Sun Nov 7 16:07:26 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7216 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Close pipeline output before
7217 reaping processes, so that writing processes get SIGPIPE.
7219 Sun Nov 7 16:05:08 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7221 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): Fix active process debugging
7222 output to include processes without statuses.
7224 Sun Nov 7 16:01:26 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7226 * src/compression.c (decompress): Invalidate file_fd after closing
7229 Sun Nov 7 15:31:18 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7231 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Compare extensions' positions in
7232 section_list at the same time as sections, but do the lexical
7233 comparison fallback after comparing ids; this restores the
7234 intended ability to use SECTIONS to move extensions out of order
7235 with respect to their parent sections without breaking the earlier
7236 workaround for Debian bug #204249.
7238 Thu Jul 22 14:46:30 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7240 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Always scan directory if last
7241 is 0 (i.e. creating) to avoid problems on systems with badly
7242 broken clocks set before the epoch.
7244 Mon Jun 28 03:56:56 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7246 * src/man.c (man): Free candidate list after displaying it.
7248 Mon Jun 28 01:19:45 BST 2004 David Weinehall <tao@debian.org>
7250 * tools/mkcatdirs: Replace XSIish uses of 'test' with more portable
7253 Thu Apr 1 05:10:50 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7255 * src/encodings.c (charset_table): Use the latin1 device for
7256 ISO-8859-15, even though that isn't exactly right.
7258 Thu Apr 1 04:56:02 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7260 * src/encodings.c (get_page_encoding, get_standard_output_encoding):
7261 Remove trailing ,<version> and @<modifier> from locale names.
7262 * src/encodings.h (get_page_encoding, get_standard_output_encoding):
7263 Update prototypes: these no longer return const.
7264 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Free page_encoding and cat_charset.
7266 Thu Apr 1 00:18:55 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7268 * src/man.c (do_extern): Pass only options understood by
7269 apropos/whatis, using the pipeline library (Debian bug #207436).
7270 (main): Make optind global. Install SIGINT and SIGCHLD handlers
7271 earlier. Update do_extern call.
7272 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7274 Wed Mar 31 23:40:15 BST 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7276 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): If stdout isn't a terminal, get rid
7277 of formatting characters using GROFF_NO_SGR=1 and 'col -b'
7278 (thanks, Adam Heath).
7279 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7281 Thu Mar 25 19:31:02 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7283 * src/whatis.c (apropos): Move warning-silencing code to the bottom
7284 of the function, so that it doesn't interfere with declarations.
7286 Sun Mar 14 03:52:12 UTC 2004 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7288 * Updated italian translation (corrected three fuzzy strings)
7290 Tue Mar 9 10:25:40 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7292 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Define debug for the benefit of pipeline.c.
7293 (open_file): Use pipeline library.
7295 Tue Mar 9 01:54:20 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7297 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Long-overdue style cleanup per docs/HACKING. No
7300 Tue Mar 9 00:37:23 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7302 Roll out the new pipeline library in most programs.
7304 * src/compression.c (decompress): Use pipeline library.
7305 * src/fake_security.c (do_system_drop_privs): Likewise.
7306 * src/lexgrog.l (main): Initialize pipeline library.
7307 * src/man.c (checked_popen, gripe_system, checked_system, run_mandb,
7308 format_display_and_save, format_display, display_catman, display):
7309 Use pipeline library.
7310 (add_roff_line_length): Append to a command structure rather than
7312 (main): Initialize pipeline library.
7313 (make_roff_command): Return a constructed pipeline instead of a
7314 malloced string. This plugs various hitherto difficult leaks. Drop
7315 support for changing the line length with groff < 1.18, as the
7316 pipeline library can't handle compound commands in pipelines yet.
7317 (make_browser): Return a constructed pipeline instead of a
7318 statically allocated string. The pipeline construction is very
7320 (make_display_command): Return a constructed pipeline instead of a
7321 malloced string. The htmlout case is strange for now (return NULL
7322 and let format_display sort it out).
7323 (tmp_cat_filename): Handle debug > /dev/null here rather than in
7324 open_cat_stream. Construct the temporary cat filename more
7325 sensibly. Open the temporary file and record its file descriptor.
7326 (open_cat_stream): Return a constructed (and started, if COMP_CAT
7327 is defined) pipeline instead of a stream. This gets rid of a
7328 fixed-size buffer associated with security problems in the past,
7329 although it wasn't a vulnerability in itself.
7330 (close_cat_stream): Clean up pipeline rather than stream.
7331 (format_display): The htmlout case ignores disp_cmd and puts the
7332 display pipeline together itself.
7333 (display): When calling format_display_and_save, assert (disp_cmd)
7334 to make sure we aren't in the htmlout case.
7335 * src/man.h (make_roff_command): Drop unnecessary prototype.
7336 * src/mandb.c (main): Initialize pipeline library.
7337 * src/security.c (do_system_drop_privs): Take a pipeline rather than
7339 * src/security.h (do_system_drop_privs): Update prototype.
7340 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Use pipeline library.
7341 * src/util.c (do_system): Take a pipeline rather than a string. This
7342 becomes a simple synchronous wrapper around pipeline_start and
7344 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Use pipeline library.
7345 (main): Initialize pipeline library.
7347 * include/manconfig.h.in (struct pipeline): Declare opaquely.
7348 (do_system): Update prototype.
7350 * configure.in: Drop 'exec' from default pager; no longer needed
7351 since the pipeline library obviates the use of /bin/sh -c.
7353 * docs/NEWS: Document all this.
7355 Mon Mar 8 16:45:27 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7357 * src/compression.c (comp_info): If the new want_stem argument is
7358 set, put a copy of the filename without extension in comp->stem
7359 rather than a strange thing in comp->file. This is closer to what
7360 most callers actually want, and removes a lot of memory management
7362 (comp_file): Use comp->stem instead of comp->file (previous usage
7363 matched this semantically).
7364 * include/manconfig.h.in (struct compression): Replace 'file' with
7366 (comp_info): Update prototype.
7368 * src/convert_name.c (convert_name): Update comp_info call.
7369 * src/filenames.c (filename_info): Fix misuse of basename. Update
7371 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Update comp_info call.
7372 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Likewise.
7373 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise.
7374 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Likewise.
7375 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (open_file): Don't set comp->file. Add a
7376 clone-and-hack warning.
7378 Mon Mar 8 16:07:11 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7380 * src/compression.c (decompress): Error out if decompression program
7381 not found, as a temporary workaround for poor detection in
7384 Mon Mar 8 15:59:29 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7386 * src/manp.c (get_catpath): Use xstrdup and strappend rather than
7387 doing memory management by hand.
7389 Mon Mar 8 11:28:51 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7391 * include/manconfig.h.in: Protect against multiple inclusion.
7393 Mon Mar 8 11:21:05 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7395 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_dump): Show caller-supplied input and
7396 output file descriptors.
7398 * lib/pipeline.c (command_free, pipeline_free): Return safely if
7400 * lib/pipeline.h (command_free, pipeline_free): Document NULL
7401 arguments as a safe no-op, like free().
7403 Mon Mar 8 09:33:08 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7405 * docs/manpage.example (DESCRIPTION): ".SS macros" -> ".SS macro".
7407 Mon Mar 8 00:16:53 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7409 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Instead of comparing extensions
7410 followed by ids, compare pure sections first, then ids, then
7411 extensions. This works around the worst effects of Debian bug
7412 #204249, in which we have an incorrect whatis ref xterm(1) in
7413 /usr/share/man and a correct real xterm(1x) in /usr/X11R6/man.
7415 Sun Mar 7 23:55:48 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7417 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Keep searching for more specific
7418 extension matches in section_list even after finding one.
7420 Wed Jan 28 00:15:00 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7422 * src/lexgrog.l: Add a terrifying hack to make '.B "..."' work in
7423 NAME sections. lex is really the wrong tool for this job, I feel.
7425 Tue Jan 27 23:37:58 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7427 * src/lexgrog.l: Attempt to fix problems with groff requests
7428 immediately following .SH NAME. All patterns in the MAN_FILE and
7429 MAN_NAME states need to avoid matching trailing newlines, since
7430 they're needed by other patterns to detect beginning-of-line.
7432 In order to ignore any excess whitespace following .SH NAME, which
7433 is how this problem got created, introduce a MAN_PRENAME start
7434 condition, which just skips over spacing. Some evil use of yyless
7435 is needed to transition properly to the MAN_NAME start condition
7436 from this without eating trailing newlines.
7438 Tue Jan 27 21:19:41 GMT 2004 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7440 * src/Makefile.in (LFLAGS): Add -d if LEXGROG_DEBUG=yes.
7442 Wed Dec 24 10:29:16 UTC 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7444 * src/whatis.c (usage): Fix usage message for --section
7445 * updated italian translation.
7447 Wed Dec 24 10:10:16 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7449 * src/whatis.c (usage): Fix usage message for --section, thanks to
7452 Wed Dec 24 09:14:19 UTC 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7454 * Updated italian translation
7456 Mon Nov 17 22:50:39 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7458 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): Oops; stop decrementing
7459 bsearched when it reaches the beginning of the cache->names array,
7460 otherwise patterns beginning with a metacharacter cause a
7461 segfault. (The decrement loop is necessary because bsearch()
7462 doesn't specify which element it returns if there are multiple
7465 Mon Nov 17 05:04:54 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7467 Speed up mandb's purging functions further, from about 20 seconds to
7468 about 2 seconds on my i386 laptop, by being more intelligent about
7471 * src/globbing.c (cache_compare): New function.
7472 (update_directory_cache): Sort the cache.
7473 (pattern_compare): New function.
7474 (match_in_directory): Rather than scanning the whole cache, start
7475 from a point matching the start of the pattern up to the first
7476 metacharacter, and stop once this no longer matches.
7478 * src/globbing.c (TEST): Include <libintl.h> and define _() so that
7479 the test code compiles.
7480 (main): Set program_name before any calls to usage().
7482 Sun Nov 16 21:45:24 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7484 * docs/HACKING: Mention the new CTYPE() macro.
7486 Sun Nov 16 21:29:35 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7488 * src/convert_name.c (convert_name): Reorganize and clarify. The
7489 alternate argument was confusing and is now gone. Add a new fsstnd
7490 argument which controls whether the "man1" to "cat1" etc.
7491 conversion is performed. That conversion now makes sure that the
7492 directory name starts with "man" before blithely overwriting it.
7493 Treat comp->file as const, since it will be soon.
7494 * src/convert_name.h (convert_name): Update prototype.
7495 * src/man.c (find_cat_file): New logic. First, check for existing
7496 FSSTND cat files; then check for a cat dir based on the ultimate
7497 source, if different from the original (Debian bug #129575); then
7498 check for a cat dir based on the original man page path.
7499 (display): Drop the !local_man_file case which tries to work out
7500 whether to save a cat, as it's not a problem to try regardless of
7501 whether there's already one in a FSSTND location.
7502 (display_filesystem, display_database): Add extra argument to
7503 find_cat_file() so that it knows the original man page path as
7504 distinct from the ultimate source.
7505 (display_filesystem): Remove debugging output, now in
7508 * docs/ToDo: Remove entry about cleaning up cat file code, now done.
7510 Sun Nov 16 19:28:38 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7512 Add an option to apropos and whatis to allow specification of a
7515 * src/whatis.c (args, long_options, main): New -s/--section option.
7516 (usage): Document it.
7517 (whatis): Tell dblookup_all() to look in the section named by
7518 --section, if present.
7519 (apropos): If --section was given, check that it matches either
7520 info.sec or info.ext for each page. Use info.whatis rather than
7521 parsing the whatis out manually.
7522 * man/man1/apropos.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document --section.
7523 * man/man1/whatis.man1 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Likewise.
7525 * docs/NEWS: Start 2.4.3. Document the above.
7527 Sun Nov 16 18:47:46 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7529 * include/manconfig.h.in (CTYPE): New macro to help get <ctype.h>
7531 * libdb/db_lookup.c (name_to_key): Use it.
7532 * src/globbing.c (parse_layout, look_for_file): Likewise.
7533 * src/man.c (manopt_to_env, main): Likewise.
7534 * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Likewise.
7535 * src/ult_src.c (ult_softlink, test_for_include): Likewise.
7536 * src/whatis.c (lower, match, word_fnmatch): Likewise.
7538 Sun Nov 16 17:06:29 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7540 Style cleanups; no functional changes.
7542 * src/whatis.c (usage, match, apropos, search, main): Add a space
7543 before the open parenthesis in several function calls.
7544 (apropos): The nesting level has got out of control here. Use a
7545 goto and a 'nextpage' label near the end of the loop instead.
7547 Sun Nov 16 15:49:12 GMT 2003 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>
7549 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Add missing open brace to
7550 non-HAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME case.
7552 Tue Oct 28 16:24:41 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7554 * man/Makefile.in: Create new th* variables with capitalized
7555 variants of program names for .TH lines.
7556 * man/de_DE.88591/man1/*.man1, man/de_DE.88591/man5/*.man5,
7557 man/de_DE.88591/man8/*.man8, man/es_ES.88591/man1/*.man1,

7562 man/man1/*.man1, man/man5/*.man5, man/man8/*.man8: Capitalize all
7563 page titles in .TH lines.
7564 * man/de_DE.88591/man5/manpath.man5: Fix typo: 'man' => 'manpath'.
7566 Sun Sep 28 20:11:55 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7568 * man-db.gnu: Remove. This is licensed under the GFDL, whose
7569 freeness is under serious question. I'm not sure if the FSF
7570 actually have standing to claim copyright over this file in the
7571 first place, but it doesn't need to be in CVS here so I don't feel
7572 like arguing about it.
7574 Sun Sep 21 02:17:43 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7576 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Dump pipeline in debugging mode.
7578 Sun Sep 21 02:15:17 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7580 * docs/NEWS: Add a forgotten entry for 2.4.2.
7582 Sat Sep 20 18:35:54 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7584 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Galician -> ISO-8859-1,
7585 Indonesian -> ISO-8859-1, Croatian -> ISO-8859-2, and Slovak ->
7588 Sat Sep 20 11:57:58 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7590 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
7591 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge
7592 (po/Makevars changed).
7594 Sat Sep 20 01:07:24 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7597 * configure.in, docs/NEWS, man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Update.
7598 * man-db.gnu: Suggest libgdbm-dev rather than libdb3-dev.
7599 * man-db.lsm: Suggest GDBM.
7601 Sat Sep 20 00:11:14 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7603 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Don't recode output if an explicit
7604 encoding was specified with -E.
7606 Sat Sep 20 00:09:03 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7608 * po/.cvsignore: Add stamp-po.
7610 Fri Sep 19 22:49:14 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7612 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): Temporarily add $lib to LIBS for
7613 AC_TRY_LINK, not to DBLIBS; but add it to DBLIBS if the test
7615 * configure.in: Simply set DBLIBS rather than appending to it.
7617 Fri Sep 19 22:20:07 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7619 * autogen.sh: Run aclocal after autopoint, in accordance with the
7620 autopoint info documentation.
7622 Fri Sep 19 22:17:18 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7624 * configure.in (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Upgrade to gettext 0.12.1.
7625 * po/Makevars (MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS): Set to me.
7626 * po/.cvsignore: Add Makevars.template.
7628 Fri Sep 19 00:48:07 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7630 * src/lexgrog.l (MAN_FILE): Accept blank lines immediately following
7633 Fri Sep 19 00:06:02 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7635 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Improve --filename wording a bit.
7637 Wed Sep 17 07:17:22 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7639 Fix case where a page explicitly encoded in UTF-8 has to be recoded
7640 down to a non-ISO-8859-1 legacy encoding for processing by groff and
7641 then back up to UTF-8 for display.
7643 * src/encodings.c (get_page_encoding): New function, renamed from
7644 get_source_encoding.
7645 (get_source_encoding): Return only the canonical source encoding,
7646 not any explicit encoding in the directory name. This allows us to
7647 take account of differing explicit encoding and canonical encoding
7648 of pages for the purposes of working out which device to use.
7649 (get_roff_encoding): New source_encoding argument, now returned
7651 (get_default_device): Pass source_encoding to get_roff_encoding().
7652 (compatible_encodings): The roff encoding can no longer be NULL.
7653 * src/encodings.h (get_page_encoding): Add prototype.
7654 (get_roff_encoding): Update prototype.
7655 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Call get_page_encoding(), and
7656 recode from that to roff_encoding, not from source_encoding to
7657 roff_encoding. Pass source_encoding to get_roff_encoding().
7658 roff_encoding can no longer be NULL.
7660 Tue Sep 16 22:53:36 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7662 Purge database entries corresponding to removed stray cat pages.
7664 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_normal, purge_whatis): Add TODO notes
7665 for systems where the cat extension differs from the man
7667 (purge_whatis): Rename manpath to path. New cat argument, passed
7668 through to look_for_file().
7669 (purge_missing): New catpath argument, passed to look_for_file()
7670 and purge_whatis() in the STRAY_CAT and WHATIS_CAT cases, which
7672 * src/check_mandirs.h (purge_missing): Update prototype.
7673 * src/mandb.c (main): Pass catpath to purge_missing().
7674 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7676 Tue Sep 16 22:37:33 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7678 Work around the fact that GDBM's firstkey/nextkey interface doesn't
7679 return ordered results.
7681 * libdb/db_gdbm.c (man_gdbm_open_wrapper): New function. Wraps the
7682 return value from gdbm_open() in a structure that remembers the
7684 (parent_sortkey_hash_free, sortkey_hash_free): New functions to
7685 free hashtables used here.
7686 (sortkey_compare): New comparison function for qsort().
7687 (man_gdbm_firstkey): New function. Retrieve all keys using
7688 gdbm_firstkey() and gdbm_nextkey() in advance, sort them into an
7689 ordered hashtable, remember that hashtable for later, and return
7691 (man_gdbm_nextkey): New function. Find the previously remembered
7692 ordered hashtable and return the next element from it.
7693 (man_gdbm_close): New function. Clean up remembered data.
7694 * libdb/db_lookup.c (copy_datum): Define even if using GDBM.
7695 (gripe_lock): Explain why this isn't used for GDBM.
7696 * libdb/mydbm.h (man_gdbm_wrapper): New type.
7697 (man_gdbm_open_wrapper, man_gdbm_firstkey, man_gdbm_nextkey,
7698 man_gdbm_close): Add prototypes.
7699 (MYDBM_FILE): Change to man_gdbm_wrapper for GDBM. Adjust all
7700 other MYDBM_* macros to cope with this and use man_gdbm_*
7701 functions where necessary.
7702 (copy_datum): Declare for all database types. Remove __inline__.
7703 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7705 Tue Sep 16 01:44:59 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7707 * src/accessdb.c (main): Free each key after listing it rather than
7710 Mon Sep 15 23:45:33 BST 2003 Byrial Ole Jensen <byrial@image.dk>
7712 * po/da.po: Update from Translation Project.
7714 Mon Sep 15 23:29:33 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7716 * configure.in: Add --enable-mb-groff option, which defines
7717 MULTIBYTE_GROFF for src/encodings.c.
7718 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
7720 Mon Sep 15 01:23:00 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7722 * po/it.po: msgfmt doesn't like "charset=iso8859-1". Use
7723 "charset=iso-8859-1" instead.
7725 Sun Sep 14 17:48:38 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7727 * src/encodings.c (get_source_encoding): If the language directory
7728 is unknown (e.g. 'man -l'), guess based on the locale before
7729 falling back to a default.
7730 (get_standard_output_encoding): Likewise.
7732 Sun Sep 14 16:58:34 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7734 * src/encodings.c (get_source_encoding): Assume ISO-8859-1 source
7735 encoding if it's unknown (e.g. 'man -l').
7736 (get_default_device): source_encoding can no longer be NULL.
7737 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Likewise.
7739 Sun Sep 14 16:45:43 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7741 * man/man1/man.man1 (EXAMPLES, ENVIRONMENT, HISTORY): Change a few
7742 stray hyphens to dashes.
7744 Sun Sep 14 16:37:56 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7746 * src/encodings.c (get_source_encoding,
7747 get_standard_output_encoding, get_default_device,
7748 get_roff_encoding, get_output_encoding, get_less_charset):
7749 Simplify using new table element struct types.
7751 Sun Sep 14 16:24:00 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7753 Make locales like ru_RU.UTF-8 that need the ascii8 device but UTF-8
7754 output work. This involves a good deal of restructuring.
7756 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Remove a completed TODO
7758 (directory_table, charset_table, device_table): Name array element
7759 struct types in order to abbreviate code later.
7760 (device_table): Split less_charset members out into a new table,
7761 less_charset_table. They really depend on the locale charset, but
7762 aren't quite appropriate for charset_table. Use "iso8859" rather
7763 than "latin1", and add KOI8-R.
7764 (device_table): Add output_encoding member, which is almost the
7765 inverse of charset_table but slightly different for ascii8.
7766 (compatible_encodings): New function to figure out if a source
7767 encoding and a roff encoding are compatible.
7768 (get_default_device): Take new source_encoding argument so that we
7769 can make ru_RU.UTF-8 use the ascii8 device and an iconv pipe
7770 rather than utf8 directly. Drop through to the fallback default
7771 device if none of the predefined entries in charset_table are
7772 compatible when considering the source encoding.
7773 (get_roff_encoding): Split LESSCHARSET handling out into a new
7775 (get_less_charset): ... here. The caller is expected to set
7776 environment variables rather than having it done by the library.
7777 (get_output_encoding): New function, returning the output encoding
7778 produced by a device.
7779 * src/encodings.h (get_default_device): Update prototype.
7780 (get_output_encoding, get_less_charset): Add prototypes.
7781 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Update calls to encoding library
7784 Sun Sep 7 23:10:01 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7786 Fix decision about whether a given encoding is safe to save as a cat
7789 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add standard_output_encoding
7790 member, used to set the default encoding for cat pages.
7791 (fallback_locale_charset): Remove.
7792 (get_standard_output_encoding): New function.
7793 (get_locale_charset): New function, split out in modified form
7794 from get_default_device().
7795 (get_default_device): Take a character set as input rather than a
7797 * src/encodings.h (get_standard_output_encoding,
7798 get_locale_charset): Add prototypes.
7799 (get_default_device): Update prototype.
7800 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Instead of comparing devices, test
7801 that the default character set for this manual hierarchy is being
7802 used, and don't save cat pages if it isn't.
7804 Sun Sep 7 11:33:09 +0200 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7806 * po/it.po: changed the header of the po file correcting the
7807 charset and the transfer encoding.
7809 Sat Sep 6 11:53:06 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7811 * src/encodings.c (get_source_encoding): Implement encodings in
7812 manual hierarchy directory names. Include a mini-rant about the
7813 bizarre specification for these in FHS 2.1, which I've declined to
7816 Sat Sep 6 11:28:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7818 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): Call MYDBM_REORG() after
7819 deleting entries. Currently only useful for gdbm.
7821 Sat Sep 6 00:23:03 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7823 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): Append to DBLIBS rather than LIBS.
7824 * configure.in: Likewise for gdbm and ndbm tests. Make DBLIBS an
7826 * src/Makefile.in: Link only the necessary programs with the
7829 Sat Sep 6 00:15:37 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7831 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_content): Cast cont.dsize to size_t when
7832 comparing it with the return value of strlen(). Avoids warning
7833 when building with gdbm.
7835 Thu Sep 4 20:22:21 BST 2003 Christian Rose <menthos@menthos.com>
7837 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
7839 Fri Aug 29 17:46:40 BST 2003 Michael Piefel <piefel@informatik.hu-berlin.de>
7841 * po/de.po: Update from Translation Project.
7843 Fri Aug 29 17:42:15 BST 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7845 * po/it.po: Updated after the revision in tp@linux.it.
7847 Thu Aug 28 11:19:21 BST 2003 Christian Rose <menthos@menthos.com>
7849 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
7851 Thu Aug 28 00:45:50 BST 2003 Jordi Mallach <jordi@sindominio.net>
7853 * po/ca.po: Update from Translation Project.
7855 Thu Aug 28 00:43:33 BST 2003 Christian Rose <menthos@menthos.com>
7857 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
7859 Thu Aug 28 00:40:09 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7861 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Change "couldn't exec %s" to
7862 "can't execute %s" in line with src/man.c, to make translators'
7864 (pipeline_wait): Separate "%s: %s%s" into two translatable
7865 strings: the "(core dumped)" portion should definitely be
7867 * src/accessdb.c (usage): Clarify "man_database" to "(The) man
7870 Thu Aug 28 00:18:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7872 * src/globbing.c (usage): Expand "sec" to "section".
7874 Wed Aug 27 00:50:07 BST 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
7876 * po/it.po: Remove all fuzzy translations and insert missed ones.
7877 Now this translation will be reviewed by the Italian translation
7878 project for proofreading.
7880 Tue Aug 26 20:16:23 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7882 * Version: 2.4.2-pre1 (for translators).
7883 * docs/NEWS: Mention pipeline library.
7885 Sat Aug 16 14:07:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7887 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Report a sensible error if file is a
7890 Fri Aug 15 18:11:06 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7892 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): file is const.
7893 * src/check_mandirs.h (test_manfile): Update prototype.
7894 * src/mandb.c (update_one_file): filename is const.
7896 Fri Aug 15 18:05:37 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7898 * include/manconfig.h.in: Remove incorrect prototype of basename()
7899 which was hiding several bugs.
7900 * configure.in: Check for <libgen.h>.
7901 * lib/pipeline.c, src/accessdb.c, src/catman.c, src/check_mandirs.c,
7902 src/filenames.c, src/lexgrog.l, src/man.c, src/mandb.c,
7903 src/manpath.c, src/straycats.c, src/whatis.c, zsoelim/zsoelim.l:
7904 Include <libgen.h> instead of relying on basename() prototype in
7906 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile), src/man.c (local_man_loop),
7907 src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Copy strings before calling
7910 Fri Aug 15 00:16:13 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7912 * src/ult_src.c (ult_hardlink): Return a newly allocated string
7913 rather than messily copying over an existing one (and possibly
7914 corrupting the malloc arena). link and dir are now allocated
7915 rather than being declared as arrays.
7916 (ult_src): Update call to ult_hardlink(). Return 'const char *' to
7917 make sure callers aren't messing about with our memory.
7918 * src/ult_src.h (ult_src): Update prototype.
7919 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_mandirs): ult is const.
7920 * src/lexgrog.l (main): file is const.
7921 * src/man.c (try_section): ult is const.
7922 (display_filesystem, display_database): man_file is const.
7924 Sat Aug 9 21:30:16 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7926 * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/pipeline.c, src/descriptions.c,
7927 src/filenames.c, and src/globbing.c.
7928 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
7929 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge.
7931 Sat Aug 9 18:28:01 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7933 Replace the old "wait() for one child at a time" approach with a
7934 SIGCHLD-handling edifice that collects children's exit statuses as
7937 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize statuses.
7938 (pipeline_join): Set statuses to NULL in joined pipeline.
7939 (pipeline_join, pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile,
7940 pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Assert that statuses field is NULL
7941 or non-NULL as appropriate.
7942 (pipeline_free): Free statuses if necessary.
7944 (pipeline_start): Add p to a new active_pipelines array, to be
7945 used while reaping children. Initialize statuses elements to -1.
7946 Block SIGCHLD while forking children.
7947 (reap_children): New function. Delivers collected exit statuses
7948 into statuses fields of entries in active_pipelines.
7949 (pipeline_wait): Rather than wait()ing manually here, check
7950 whether any statuses have been picked up by the SIGCHLD handler,
7951 and if not call reap_children(). Remove now-obsolete TODO comment.
7952 (pipeline_sigchld): New function, the SIGCHLD handler.
7953 (pipeline_install_sigchld): New function, to be called once per
7956 (pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Add minimal debugging
7959 * lib/pipeline.h: Prototype new functions.
7960 (struct pipeline): New statuses member.
7962 Sat Aug 9 17:00:12 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7964 * lib/pipeline.c (command_dup): Copy cmd->nice.
7965 (pipeline_command): Correct condition for growing commands array.
7967 Mon Aug 4 20:44:16 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7969 * man/man1/man.man1 (HISTORY): Rearrange text to avoid having
7970 "Wilf." at the end of a line, since groff thinks that's the end of
7971 a sentence and adjusts spacing accordingly. (Alternatively, I
7972 could have used \&.)
7974 Mon Aug 4 19:35:26 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7976 * lib/pipeline.c (command_dup): Terminate argv with a NULL.
7977 (command_dup, command_arg): Assert that argc < argv_max after
7980 Mon Aug 4 19:30:22 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7982 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_dump): New function to dump a printable
7983 representation of a pipeline to a stream.
7984 (pipeline_tostring): Likewise, but to a newly allocated string.
7985 * lib/pipeline.h: Prototype these.
7987 Mon Aug 4 12:03:38 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7989 * lib/pipeline.c (argstr_get_word): Plug some memory leaks.
7991 Mon Aug 4 01:05:12 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7993 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_wait): The return value was a bit
7994 groff-specific. Now just return the status of the last command in
7995 the pipeline, as reported by wait().
7997 Mon Aug 4 00:31:44 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
7999 Add support for getting stdio streams for input and output. Needs
8000 library support because pipeline_wait() needs to know to close the
8001 stream rather than the underlying file descriptor.
8003 * lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): New infile and outfile members.
8004 (pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile): Add prototypes.
8005 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize infile and outfile.
8006 (pipeline_join): Likewise.
8007 (pipeline_get_infile, pipeline_get_outfile): New functions.
8008 (pipeline_wait): Check for infile and outfile and fclose() them in
8009 preference to close()ing infd and outfd. Check for errors on
8012 Sun Aug 3 23:59:18 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8014 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Use dup2() instead of close()
8017 Sun Aug 3 23:52:14 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8019 infd and outfd should now only be set by pipeline_start(). Positive
8020 values in want_in and want_out now indicate caller-supplied file
8021 descriptors, while negative values indicate a request for
8022 pipeline_start() to create a pipe.
8024 * lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): Document this.
8025 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Implement it. Caller-supplied
8026 input and output file descriptors previously didn't work properly.
8027 (pipeline_wait): Update TODO comment.
8029 Sun Aug 3 21:07:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8031 * lib/pipeline.h (struct command): New 'nice' member.
8032 * lib/pipeline.c (command_new): Initialize nice.
8033 (pipeline_start): Change child process priority if nice is set.
8035 Sun Aug 3 20:50:35 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8037 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_start): Pop all cleanups in child.
8039 Sun Aug 3 20:47:24 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8041 * lib/pipeline.c (argstr_get_word, command_new_argstr,
8042 command_argstr, pipeline_command_argstr): New functions to handle
8043 constructing commands from shell-quoted strings, such as those
8044 found in man-db configuration files. They deliberately handle only
8045 a safe subset of shell syntax.
8046 * lib/pipeline.h: Prototype command_new_argstr(), command_argstr(),
8047 and pipeline_command_argstr().
8049 Sun Aug 3 19:09:59 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8051 * lib/pipeline.c (command_dup): New function to duplicate a command.
8052 (pipeline_join): New function to join two pipelines together.
8053 * lib/pipeline.h: Prototype these.
8055 Sun Aug 3 18:00:59 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8057 * lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): The writeto, readfrom, writefd,
8058 and readfd names turn out to be confusing in calling code. Rename
8059 to want_in, want_out, infd, and outfd respectively.
8060 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new, pipeline_start, pipeline_wait): Use
8063 Sun Aug 3 16:35:24 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8065 Add support in pipeline library for writing input to or reading
8066 output from the whole pipeline.
8068 * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_new): Initialize writeto, readfrom,
8069 writefd, and readfd.
8070 (pipeline_start): Create extra pipes as necessary.
8071 (pipeline_wait): Expand TODO comment. Close file descriptors from
8072 extra pipes if necessary.
8073 * lib/pipeline.h (struct pipeline): Add writeto, readfrom, writefd,
8076 Sun Aug 3 11:15:17 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8078 * lib/pipeline.c: New pipeline library, adapted from that in groff.
8079 The interface isn't complete yet; in particular, it can't be a
8080 replacement for popen() at the moment.
8081 * lib/pipeline.h: New file with pipeline library interface.
8082 * lib/Makefile.in (ALLSRCS, ALL): Build pipeline.
8084 Sun Aug 3 11:09:07 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8086 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_FUNC_STRSIGNAL): New macro to check for the GNU
8087 extension strsignal().
8088 * configure.in: Use it.
8089 * lib/xstrsignal.c: New file, wrapping strsignal() or sys_siglist
8090 depending on what's available (and with a saner return type than
8092 * lib/Makefile.in (ALLSRCS, XOBJS): Build xstrsignal.
8093 * include/manconfig.h.in (xstrsignal): Add prototype.
8095 Sun Aug 3 10:57:55 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8097 * include/comp_src.h.in: Protect against multiple inclusions.
8099 Sat Aug 2 19:32:04 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8101 * docs/NEWS: Document the recent security fixes.
8103 Sat Aug 2 12:31:24 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8105 * lib/error.c (error_print_progname): Use a proper prototype.
8107 Sat Aug 2 01:23:08 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8109 * tools/checkman: Tolerate spaces in NAME sections, since they occur
8110 in practice and confused checkman before this. Prompted by a
8111 question from James B. Hiller.
8113 Fri Aug 1 22:06:33 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8115 Fix vulnerability due to over-permissiveness of DEFINE directive.
8117 * src/manp.c (DEFINE_USER): New list flag.
8118 (get_def): Note that this must not return DEFINEs set in

8122 (add_def): Use DEFINE or DEFINE_USER depending on context.
8123 (add_to_dirlist): Update call to add_def().
8124 * src/manp.h (get_def_user): Add prototype.
8126 * src/man.c (main): pager and cat are safe for the user to define.
8127 (make_display_command): cat, tr, and decompressor are safe.
8128 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): col and decompressor are safe.
8129 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): whatis_grep_flags,
8130 apropos_regex_grep_flags, apropos_grep_flags, and grep are safe.
8132 Fri Aug 1 01:32:37 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8134 * src/man.c (main): Minor whitespace cleanups.
8136 Fri Aug 1 01:05:42 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8138 * src/manp.c (mkcatdirs): Allocate manname and catname dynamically.
8140 Wed Jul 30 22:28:13 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8142 Fix vulnerability 4 posted by Vade 79 <v9@fakehalo.deadpig.org> on
8143 BugTraq, Message-ID:
8144 <20030729210308.15518.qmail@www.securityfocus.com>. This fix is just
8145 a stopgap measure for now; proper list handling will be added later.
8147 * src/manp.c (gripe_overlong_list): New function.
8148 (add_dir_to_list): Die gracefully if too many list entries are
8150 (add_dir_to_path_list): Likewise. Take an extra argument for the
8151 head of the list so that we can spot this efficiently.
8152 (create_pathlist): Update calls to add_dir_to_path_list().
8154 Wed Jul 30 22:15:16 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8156 * src/manp.c (gripe_reading_mp_config): This is a fatal error, so
8157 shouldn't be conditional on quiet.
8159 Wed Jul 30 20:48:57 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8161 Fix vulnerability 1 posted by Vade 79 <v9@fakehalo.deadpig.org> on
8162 BugTraq, Message-ID:
8163 <20030729210308.15518.qmail@www.securityfocus.com>.
8165 * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Limit all sscanf() calls to the
8166 appropriate buffer size. Leave a TODO to say that a replacement
8167 that allocates its own memory would be welcome.
8169 Wed Jul 30 20:38:40 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8171 Fix vulnerabilities 2 and 3 posted by Vade 79
8172 <v9@fakehalo.deadpig.org> on BugTraq, Message-ID:
8173 <20030729210308.15518.qmail@www.securityfocus.com>.
8175 * src/ult_src.c (ult_softlink): Return a newly allocated string
8176 rather than copying into fullpath.
8177 (test_for_include): Return a newly allocated string rather than
8178 copying into rel (which was a pointer into part of basename in
8179 ult_src(), and wasn't reallocated in the event that the .so text
8181 (ult_src): Allocate basename dynamically rather than using a
8182 static buffer. relative is no longer needed. Update for changes in
8183 ult_softlink() and test_for_include().
8185 Wed Jul 30 12:33:25 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8187 * src/man.c (close_cat_stream): The unlink(tmp_cat_file) cleanup is
8188 only pushed if (!debug), so apply the same condition to popping
8191 Wed Jul 30 12:21:20 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8193 * src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions): Revert this part of
8194 xstrdup(NULL) change from 28 April 2003; head->whatis is undefined
8195 if the else branch was taken.
8197 Wed Jul 30 10:40:06 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8199 * src/man.c (find_in_path): Avoid leaking filename for each PATH
8202 Wed Jul 30 10:36:22 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8204 * src/compression.c (decompress): Don't free command until after
8205 printing the error message that includes it.
8207 Wed Jul 30 10:23:50 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8209 * src/mandb.c (main): Return non-zero with an error message if no
8210 databases were updated. Required so that man knows not to call
8211 mandb over and over again.
8213 Sat Jun 28 01:26:55 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8215 * man/it_IT.88591/man1/apropos.man1: Use %date% rather than
8216 %date_it% (which the build system no longer supports).
8218 Sat Jun 28 00:23:02 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8220 * man/man1/man.man1: Clarify section 3 as "program libraries" rather
8221 than "system libraries".
8223 Tue May 6 00:50:25 CEST 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
8225 * Updated the apropos italian man page.
8227 Mon May 5 19:47:07 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8229 * src/man.c (set_term, get_term, store_line_length): Use the
8230 fileno() of stdin and stdout respectively instead of literal 0 and
8232 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Use STRNEQ() instead of strncmp().
8234 Mon May 5 18:35:02 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8236 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Czech -> ISO-8859-2.

8244 * src/convert_name.h: ... here (new file).
8245 * src/convert_name.c: Include "convert_name.h". Add some TODO
8247 * src/man.c: Include "convert_name.h".
8249 * lib/error.c: Include "error.h". Prototype strerror() fully.
8250 * lib/tempfile.c: Include "manconfig.h" instead of prototyping
8251 strappend() and xstrdup(). Prototype path_search() fully.
8252 * lib/xmalloc.c: Remove most K&R compatibility, since it's not
8253 really supported elsewhere in man-db.
8254 * src/globbing.c: Include "globbing.h".
8255 (match_in_directory): Add static.
8256 * src/man.c (set_term, get_term): Add static.
8257 (int_handler): Move above main(), and add static.
8258 (main): Remove int_handler() prototype.
8259 (make_roff_command, format_display_and_save): Prototype
8261 (open_cat_stream, display_catman): Cast to cleanup_fun rather than
8262 to an incomplete prototype.
8263 * src/manp.c (guess_manpath): Add static.
8264 * src/security.c (gripe_set_euid): Prototype fully.
8265 * src/ult_src.c (realpath): Move prototype to the non-STDC_HEADERS
8268 * src/lexgrog.l: Add '%option warn'.
8270 Thu May 1 17:39:55 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8272 * configure.in (CFLAGS): Add -W for gcc.
8274 * lib/hashtable.c (hash): Change array index type to size_t.
8275 * src/globbing.c (dirent_hash_free, match_in_directory): Likewise.
8277 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_pointers): Remove unused manpath
8279 * src/check_mandirs.h (purge_pointers): Update prototype.
8280 * src/mandb.c (update_one_file): Update call to purge_pointers().
8282 * src/catman.c (catman): Remove unused arg_no argument.
8283 (do_catman): Update call to catman().
8284 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): dir is unused except #ifdef
8286 * src/mandb.c (cleanup): dummy is unused.
8287 * src/ult_src.c (ult_hardlink): Change type of inode to ino_t.
8288 (ult_softlink): mantree is unused.
8289 (ult_src): Update call to ult_softlink().
8290 * src/whatis.c (apropos): lowpage is unused except #ifdef APROPOS.
8291 * src/wrapper.c (main): argc is unused.
8293 Thu May 1 16:52:44 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8295 Remove all assumptions that string literals have type 'char *'
8296 rather than 'const char *'.
8298 * configure.in (CFLAGS): Add -Wwrite-strings for gcc.
8300 * lib/tempfile.c (xstrdup): First argument is const.
8301 (path_search): Return 'const char *'.
8302 (create_tempfile, create_tempdir): Copy return value of
8303 path_search() right away rather than after checking for NULL.
8305 * libdb/db_ver.c (dbver): Take a private copy of VER_KEY.
8306 (dbver_wr): Take private copies of VER_KEY and VER_ID.
8308 * src/accessdb.c (cat_root): Add const.
8309 * src/catman.c (parse_for_sec): Remove __inline__; add const to both
8310 arguments. Take private copies of "man" and the basic options.
8311 (main): Copy "C" for locale. Make sections etc. 'const char **',
8312 since STD_SECTIONS is an array of 'const char *'.
8313 * src/check_mandirs.c (update_db_time, reset_db_time, update_db):
8314 Take a private copy of KEY.
8315 * src/filenames.c (make_filename): Make type const.
8316 * src/filenames.h (make_filename): Update prototype.
8317 * src/globbing.c (extension, mandir_layout): Add const.
8318 * src/lexgrog.l (fname): Add const.
8319 (find_name): Make filename const.
8320 (main): Set program_name here from argv[0] rather than from a
8322 * include/manconfig.h.in (find_name): Update prototype.
8323 * src/man.c (lang_dir): Add static. Copy string literals into ld.
8324 Use xstrndup() rather than copying and then inserting '\0'.
8325 (extension, alt_system_name, section_list, preprocessors, pager,
8326 locale, std_sections, external, gxditview, html_pager): Add const.
8327 (add_roff_line_length): First argument is const. Return a copy of
8329 (gripe_no_man): Copy external before passing it to basename().
8330 (main): Copy "C" for internal_locale. Reorganize locale
8331 reinitialization slightly so that locale can be const.
8332 (man_getopt): Set 'const char *' and 'char *' variables to NULL
8334 (is_section, compare_candidates, man): Use a 'const char **' to
8335 iterate through section_list.
8336 (make_roff_command): Remove __inline__. Take a copy of "" for dev
8337 so that dev is always allocated memory. Handle filter in a more
8338 const-safe way (although there's still a memory leak).
8339 (get_section_list): Remove __inline__. Return 'const char **'.
8340 * src/man.h (get_section_list): Update prototype.
8341 * src/manp.c (get_from_list): Make return value and first argument
8343 (get_def): Make return value and both arguments const.
8344 (get_sections): Return const.
8345 (cat_manpath): Make path and catdir const.
8346 * src/manp.h (get_def, get_sections): Update prototypes.
8347 * src/manpath.c (main): Make alt_system const.
8348 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Make flags and anchor const.
8349 (main): Make manp and alt_systems const. Copy "C" for locale.
8350 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (main): Copy argv[0] basename for program_name,
8351 as basename()'s return value may not be long-lived. Copy "-" for
8354 * src/mandb.c (main): Don't bother remembering the return value of
8356 * src/manpath.c (main): Likewise.
8358 Mon Apr 28 15:11:28 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8360 * src/catman.c (main): Don't guard xstrdup() from NULL input, as it
8362 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Likewise.
8363 * src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions): Likewise.
8364 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
8365 * src/whatis.c (main): Likewise.
8367 Mon Apr 28 09:06:28 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8369 Introduce a readdir() cache, which substantially speeds up mandb's
8370 purging functions (from 2 minutes to under 45 seconds on my laptop,
8371 and from about 280000 to about 13500 system calls).
8373 * src/globbing.c (dirent_hash_free, update_directory_cache): New
8375 (match_in_directory): Use update_directory_cache() rather than
8376 reading the directory on every call.
8377 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
8379 Mon Apr 28 00:51:11 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8381 * lib/hashtable.c (hash_lookup): Return the definition rather than
8382 the hash entry structure. This turns out to be a lot more useful.
8383 * lib/hashtable.h (hash_lookup): Update prototype.
8384 * src/man.c (try_db): Simplify; in_cache is no longer needed. Just
8385 assign to the target variable directly.
8386 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Likewise. xstrdup() already
8387 checks for NULL input, so don't bother checking here.
8389 Tue Apr 22 19:56:13 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8391 * docs/HACKING: New prototypical document for developers.
8393 Tue Apr 22 19:48:46 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8395 * src/globbing.c (parse_layout, look_for_file): Add a BSD layout in
8396 which cat pages have the extension .0 (Jeremy C. Reed). More work
8397 is needed elsewhere so that man can write such cat pages, though.
8398 * configure.in (--enable-mandirs): Add BSD layout.
8399 * manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Document
8400 --enable-mandirs=BSD.
8401 * README: Sync with manual/intro.me.
8403 Tue Apr 22 19:38:03 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8405 * libdb/COPYING.LIB: Remove (obsoleted in favour of
8407 * GNUmakefile.in (_docs, _libdb): Include COPYING.LIB from docs/
8410 Tue Apr 22 19:34:30 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8412 * tools/mandb_[nt]fmt-script: Correct "# !" to "#! " on the shebang
8415 Tue Apr 15 18:16:30 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8417 * src/Makefile.in (LFLAGS): Provide -8 and -B as separate arguments.
8418 flex 2.5.31 is stricter about this.
8419 * zsoelim/Makefile.in (LFLAGS): Likewise.
8421 Sun Apr 13 14:36:29 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8423 * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Add Hungarian -> ISO-8859-2.
8425 Sun Apr 13 13:39:38 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8427 * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Return 0 if the source file doesn't exist, so
8428 that the caller can go on and silently create a non-existent
8429 database rather than bailing out.
8431 Sun Apr 13 12:49:33 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8433 * src/mandb.c: Remove DO_CHOWN define and simply use SECURE_MAN_UID.
8435 Thu Apr 10 23:51:43 BST 2003 Byrial Ole Jensen <byrial@image.dk>
8437 * po/da.po: Update from Translation Project.
8439 Mon Apr 7 09:12:27 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8441 * src/man.c (man): Call local_man_loop() straight away if name
8442 contains a slash. Make the number of pages found an output
8443 argument rather than the return value, so that we can include
8444 local_man_loop()'s return behaviour.
8445 (main): Update throughout for new man() signature. Don't call
8446 local_man_loop() if man() returns an error, as man() now sorts
8447 that out for itself.
8448 * src/man.h (man): Update prototype.
8450 Mon Apr 7 08:09:08 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8452 * include/Defines.in: Generate dependencies in .depend rather than
8453 the current directory. Suppress echoing of dependency generation
8455 * libdb/Makefile.in: Remove .depend directory on distclean. Always
8456 use dependencies (except on clean), not just when --enable-debug
8457 was passed to configure.
8458 * src/Makefile.in: Likewise. Set up $(DEFS_*) variables so that the
8459 correct flags are used when generating dependencies.
8460 * libdb/.cvsignore, src/.cvsignore: Ignore .depend.
8462 * configure.in: Remove now-redundant --enable-debug option. Remove
8463 search for libefence if --enable-debug is used; using it with
8464 LD_PRELOAD is generally more convenient anyway.
8465 * README, manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Remove
8466 documentation for --enable-debug.
8467 * docs/NEWS: Document the removal.
8469 Mon Apr 7 01:02:27 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8471 * man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/man.man1: Replace "%date%" with the Japanese
8472 "ima", meaning "now" or "the present time" (thanks, Liyang Hu).
8474 Mon Apr 7 00:04:30 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8476 * configure.in: Don't generate language-specific date variants for
8477 man pages, as that requires all the relevant locales to be
8478 installed on the build machine. Use the ISO 8601 date format
8480 * include/Defines.in: Remove obsolete substitutions of date_it,
8481 date_es, date_de, and date_fr.
8482 * man/Makefile.in: Likewise.
8483 * man/de_DE.88591/man1/*.man1, man/de_DE.88591/man5/*.man5,
8484 man/de_DE.88591/man8/*.man8, man/es_ES.88591/man1/*.man1,
8485 man/es_ES.88591/man5/*.man5, man/es_ES.88591/man8/*.man8,
8486 man/it_IT.88591/man1/*.man1, man/it_IT.88591/man5/*.man5,
8487 man/it_IT.88591/man8/*.man8 (.TH): Replace "%date_de%",
8488 "%date_es%", and "%date_it%" substitutions by plain "%date%".
8489 * man/man1/man.man1 (HISTORY): "%date%" -> "present day".
8490 * man/it_IT.88591/man1/man.man1 (STORIA): Similarly, "%date_it%" ->
8491 "presente" (present day).
8493 Sun Apr 6 21:39:36 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8495 * src/man.c (main): Ignore LANGUAGE if a locale is explicitly
8496 specified using the -L/--locale option.
8498 Sun Apr 6 20:28:57 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8500 Revamp locale encoding support. The old code made the incorrect
8501 assumption that the source encoding of manual pages is dependent on
8504 If MULTIBYTE_GROFF is defined then man will assume that it is using
8505 a version of groff with the multibyte patch applied, which supports
8506 some additional locales.
8508 * src/man.c (lang_table, determine_lang_table): Remove.
8509 (lang_dir): Return "C" if there is no language directory element.
8510 (make_roff_command): Find out the source encoding for the
8511 requested man page and the default device for the current locale,
8512 and use these to select a device more intelligently. Insert an
8513 iconv pipe if the source encoding differs from the input *roff
8514 encoding for the current device.
8515 * src/encodings.c: New file. There are three tables replacing the
8516 old lang_table: directory_table, charset_table, and device_table.
8517 (get_source_encoding): New function, returning the assumed source
8518 encoding for the current page from directory_table.
8519 (get_default_device): New function, returning the default *roff
8520 output device based on the current locale from charset_table.
8521 (get_roff_encoding): New function, returning the input encoding
8522 expected by *roff from device_table. This is always ISO-8859-1
8523 unless MULTIBYTE_GROFF is defined (this is still a subject of some
8524 debate, and will be UTF-8 for all devices in groff 2).
8525 * src/encodings.h: Prototype new functions.
8526 * src/Makefile.in (man): Add encodings.o.
8527 * docs/NEWS: Document the above.
8529 Sun Mar 30 23:14:47 BST 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8531 * man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS): Both -H and -T take optional
8532 arguments. The fact that they're optional means that no space is
8533 allowed between the option and its argument (thanks to Peter Muir
8534 for that observation).
8535 (OPTIONS): Likewise. Document the 'browser' argument to -H.
8536 Correct a couple of hyphens to dashes.
8538 Fri Mar 28 09:23:19 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8540 * src/man.c (main): Protect ruid/euid debugging statement with
8541 #ifdef SECURE_MAN_UID.
8542 (commit_tmp_cat): Likewise for temporary cat ownership code.
8543 * src/security.c (drop_effective_privs, regain_effective_privs):
8544 priv_drop_count is only declared #ifdef SECURE_MAN_UID. Move the
8545 corresponding directives so that these functions are no-ops if
8546 that symbol isn't defined.
8547 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
8549 Wed Mar 26 15:04:00 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8551 * manual/format.me: Correct location of example external formatter
8554 Tue Mar 25 04:15:41 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8556 * configure.in: Use AC_MSG_NOTICE throughout rather than MAN_ECHO.
8557 Move the definition of MAN_ECHO_VAR to just above its only uses.
8559 Tue Mar 25 03:44:06 GMT 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
8563 Tue Mar 25 03:41:13 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8565 * src/whatis.c (parse_name): Free lowdbname before returning.
8567 Tue Mar 25 03:38:39 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8569 * lib/strappend.c, lib/xstrdup.c, lib/xstrndup.c: Remove unused
8570 definitions of VOID.
8572 Sun Mar 16 00:51:12 GMT 2003 Jeremy C. Reed <reed@reedmedia.net>
8574 * configure.in (--enable-mandirs): Use 'mandirs' rather than
8575 'mandir', as the latter clashes with an autoconf variable.
8577 Wed Mar 12 13:17:45 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8579 * libdb/db_lookup.c (gripe_bad_multi_key): This function has been
8580 unused since 24 June 2002 (noticed by Giuseppe Sacco). Remove.
8581 * libdb/db_storage.h (gripe_bad_multi_key): Remove prototype.
8583 Tue Mar 11 21:17:56 GMT 2003 Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuig@debian.org>
8587 Mon Mar 10 17:20:46 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8589 * libdb/db_btree.c, libdb/db_delete.c, libdb/db_gdbm.c,
8590 libdb/db_lookup.c, libdb/db_ndbm.c, libdb/db_storage.h,
8591 libdb/db_store.c, libdb/db_ver.c: Style cleanup (as with src/* on
8592 28 May 2001). No functional changes.
8594 Mon Mar 10 15:55:34 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8596 * GNUmakefile.in (EVERYTHING, ALL): Move intl ahead of libdb. (Not
8597 'make -j'-clean, though ...)
8598 * libdb/Makefile.in: Use '$(top_srcdir)' rather than '..'
8599 throughout. Add $(top_srcdir)/intl to the include path if USE_NLS
8602 Mon Mar 10 15:24:04 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8604 * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Generate config.h rather than
8605 include/config.h. intl/Makefile.in is insistent on config.h being
8606 in the top-level directory.
8607 * GNUmakefile.in, manual/comp.me: Replace 'include/config.h' with
8608 'config.h' throughout.
8609 * .cvsignore, include/.cvsignore: Update for new config.h and
8610 config.h.in locations.
8612 Mon Mar 10 15:00:32 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8614 * lib/mkdtemp.c: Define __GT_DIR if necessary.
8615 * lib/tempfile.c: Prototype mkstemp() and mkdtemp().
8617 Mon Mar 10 14:46:39 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8619 * lib/tempname.c: Include "config.h" rather than <config.h>.
8621 Mon Mar 3 22:00:03 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8623 * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Remove silly calls to fclose() on null
8626 Sun Mar 2 20:37:08 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8628 * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Save errno before performing operations that
8629 might change it. Close ifp as well if an error occurs while
8632 Fri Feb 28 01:50:21 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8634 * src/man.c (find_in_path): path needs to be preserved in order to
8635 be freed safely, or else we segfault. Use a temporary variable for
8638 Mon Feb 24 17:05:25 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8640 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Only use the \[shc] character if it's
8641 available, which is the case on groff's latin1 and utf8 devices
8642 but not on others. Otherwise, use \(hy.
8644 Mon Feb 24 00:17:39 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8646 * docs/manpage.example (OPTIONS): Move the note about '\-' versus
8647 '-' from a comment into displayed text.
8649 Sun Feb 23 00:34:12 GMT 2003 Alexandre Folle de Menezes <afmenez@terra.com.br>
8651 * po/pt_BR.po: Update from Translation Project.
8653 Sat Feb 22 18:32:58 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8655 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): Remove some extra calls to
8656 AC_MSG_RESULT, since AC_CACHE_CHECK already calls that.
8658 Sat Feb 22 18:10:14 GMT 2003 Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>
8660 * po/da.po: Translate a few more strings.
8662 Sat Feb 22 18:06:09 GMT 2003 Alexandre Folle de Menezes <afmenez@terra.com.br>
8664 * po/pt_BR.po: Update from Translation Project.
8666 Sat Feb 22 17:50:55 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8668 * src/Makefile.in: Fix typo ("developement" -> "development").
8669 * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Fix typo ("mach" -> "match").
8671 Sat Feb 22 17:41:07 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8673 * src/manp.c (read_config_file): If user_config_file is non-NULL,
8674 use it instead of ~/.manpath. Programs can now set the user
8675 configuration file to be used.
8677 * src/catman.c, src/mandb.c, src/manpath.c, src/whatis.c
8678 (long_options): Add -C/--config-file option.
8679 (usage): Document it.
8681 * src/man.c (long_options): Add -C/--config-file option.
8682 (usage): Document it, along with adding -i and -I to the synopsis.
8683 (man_getopt): Handle it.
8684 * man/man1/apropos.man1, man/man1/man.man1, man/man1/manpath.man1,
8685 man/man1/whatis.man1, man/man8/catman.man8, man/man8/mandb.man8
8687 (OPTIONS): Describe -C/--config-file.
8689 * docs/NEWS: Document this addition.
8691 Fri Feb 21 18:32:21 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8693 * src/Makefile.in (man): lexgrog.o is no longer needed. Removing it
8694 takes 24K off the size of a stripped man binary on Linux/i386.
8696 Fri Feb 21 18:12:45 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8698 * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Improve error handling.
8699 (mandb): Since xcopy() now returns int, handle its return value.
8701 Fri Feb 21 16:40:26 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8703 * src/man.c (find_in_path): New function to look for executables on
8705 (gripe_no_man): Only emit the "undocumented" message if a
8706 corresponding executable is found on the $PATH.
8707 * docs/NEWS: Document this.
8709 Fri Feb 21 16:26:00 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8711 * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.4.2.
8713 Fri Feb 21 15:49:08 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8715 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Internationalize usage and error messages.
8717 Fri Feb 21 15:46:04 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8719 * src/check_mandirs.c (gripe_bogus_manpage, make_filename,
8720 filename_info): Move to ...
8721 * src/filenames.c: ... here.
8722 * src/check_mandirs.h: Move corresponding prototypes to ...
8723 * src/filenames.h: ... here.
8725 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_pointers): New function to purge any
8726 entries whose pointers refer to a given name.
8727 * src/check_mandirs.h (purge_pointers): Add prototype.
8728 * src/mandb.c (long_options): Add -f/--filename option.
8729 (usage): Document it, along with -t/--test.
8730 (update_one_file): New function to update a single file in an
8732 (update_db_wrapper): Call update_one_file() if using --filename.
8733 (main): Handle --filename option. If using --filename, only call
8734 mandb() if the manpath prefix matches.
8735 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (SYNOPSIS): Improve *roff style and document
8736 -p. Add separate call summary for when -f is used.
8737 (OPTIONS): Document -f.
8739 * lib/hashtable.c (hash_remove): New function to remove an entry
8741 * lib/hashtable.h (hash_remove): Add prototype.
8743 * libdb/db_store.c (replace_if_necessary): Replace entries with ids
8744 other than ULT_MAN too, so that their timestamps can be updated.
8745 Add more debugging output.
8746 * src/man.c (need_to_rerun): Remove.
8747 (display_database): Remove code to check whether pages found in
8748 databases are up to date. This is done elsewhere now.
8749 (run_mandb): New function, used instead of updating databases
8751 (main): Call run_mandb() instead of need_to_rerun().
8752 (maybe_update_file): New function to check whether a page found in
8753 a database is up to date. If not, use run_mandb() to recache it.
8754 (try_db): Use run_mandb() rather than create_db(). Use #defines
8755 for special return values rather than magic numbers. Check whether
8756 pages are up to date as they're found.
8757 (locate_page): If try_db() returns TRY_DATABASE_UPDATED (i.e.
8758 mandb was called to update some pages), call it again.
8759 (display_pages): Use a switch with named candidate types instead
8762 * src/Makefile.in (DEFS_man.o): Add definition for MANDB.
8763 (man): Database code is no longer needed. Add filenames.o.
8764 (mandb): Add filenames.o.
8766 Mon Feb 17 23:28:55 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8768 * src/manpath.c: Remove unused prototypes.
8770 Tue Jan 21 01:42:16 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8772 * src/mandb.c (xcopy, main): Minor whitespace cleanups.
8773 * src/ult_src.c: Fix typo (loosing -> losing).
8775 Mon Jan 6 03:25:16 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8777 * src/man.c (display_pages): Drop privileges if candp->path is a
8778 user manpath. Inner code generally dropped privileges anyway,
8779 certainly when running external commands, but the absence of this
8780 drop meant that pages in non-world-readable user manpaths could
8783 Mon Jan 6 03:19:57 GMT 2003 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8785 * lib/error.c (error): Print a backtrace if the BACKTRACE_ON_ERROR
8786 symbol is defined. This undoubtedly isn't portable and is not
8787 intended for production use; it's just a last-resort way to get a
8788 backtrace when the usual methods fail, chiefly when running
8791 Tue Dec 31 04:39:03 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8793 * src/man.c (man): If update is set, need_to_rerun() will always
8794 have been called already by now. Remove this redundant code.
8796 Tue Dec 31 04:26:50 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8798 * man/man1/apropos.man1, man/man1/lexgrog.man1,
8799 man/man1/manpath.man1, man/man1/whatis.man1,
8800 man/man1/zsoelim.man1: --version no longer displays author
8803 Sun Dec 29 19:57:55 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8805 * src/check_mandirs.c, src/check_mandirs.h: Move page_description
8806 interface functions to ...
8807 * src/descriptions.c, src/descriptions.h: ... here (new files).
8808 * src/Makefile.in (man, mandb): Link descriptions.o.
8810 * libdb/db_storage.h: Include libdb/mydbm.h for the datum type.
8812 Sun Dec 29 19:51:11 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8814 * src/lexgrog.l: Add commas between short and long options in usage
8817 * src/accessdb.c (main): Support -h/--help and -v/--version options.
8818 (usage): Document them. Move MAN_DB outside translatable string.
8819 * man/man8/accessdb.man8 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document new options.
8820 (AUTHOR): Add myself.
8821 * src/globbing.c (long_options, args, main): Support -h/--help and
8822 -v/--version options.
8823 (usage): New function.
8824 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Support long option forms of -C (--compatible),
8825 -h (--help), and -V (--verbose).
8826 * man/man1/zsoelim.man1: Document long options.
8828 * src/Makefile.in: Link $(TOOLS) as well as $(PROGS) with version.o.
8830 Sun Dec 29 19:40:46 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8832 Patch partly by Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>.
8834 * src/whatis.c (args, long_options): Add -v/--verbose option.
8835 (usage): Document it.
8836 (get_whatis): Print pointer loop warnings only if --verbose.
8837 (main): Handle --verbose option.
8838 * man/man1/apropos.man1 (OPTIONS): Document --verbose.
8839 * man/man1/whatis.man1 (OPTIONS): Likewise.
8841 Sun Dec 22 23:30:12 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8843 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Initialize the mandata struct
8844 on the stack to zero.
8845 (count_glob_matches): Likewise.
8846 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise.
8847 * src/man.c (try_section): Use infoalloc() (which initializes the
8848 mandata struct to zero) rather than malloc(). This had caused
8849 several uses of uninitialized memory (Debian bug #168584).
8851 * src/check_mandirs (purge_whatis): Compare info->pointer against
8852 "-", not just its first character.
8854 Sun Dec 22 19:29:38 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8857 * docs/NEWS, man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Update.
8859 Sun Dec 22 18:19:09 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8861 * libdb/db_btree.c (btree_findkey): Cast key.dsize to int when using
8862 it as an fprintf() field width.
8864 Sun Dec 22 18:15:51 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8866 Patch inspired by part of SuSE's diff, although not identical.
8868 * GNUmakefile.in: Export DESTDIR.
8869 * man/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in, zsoelim/Makefile.in: Honour
8870 DESTDIR when installing and uninstalling files.
8872 Sun Dec 22 14:14:37 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8874 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Don't update .po files automatically, since
8875 they're kept under revision control.
8877 Sun Dec 22 13:59:23 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8879 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
8880 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge.
8882 Sun Dec 22 13:44:20 GMT 2002 Alexandre Folle de Menezes <afmenez@terra.com.br>
8884 * po/pt_BR.po: Update from Translation Project.
8886 Sat Dec 21 13:30:43 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8888 * src/check_mandirs.c (count_glob_matches): Exclude file names which
8889 fail stat(), such as dangling symlinks.
8891 Sat Dec 21 03:01:34 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8893 * src/check_mandirs.c (count_glob_matches): New function,
8894 sanity-checking results from look_for_file(). This should probably
8895 be done in look_for_file() itself eventually, but that requires
8896 more widespread changes.
8897 (purge_normal, purge_whatis): Use it.
8899 * src/check_mandirs.c (gripe_bogus_manpage, gripe_rwopen_failed,
8900 filename_info, purge_normal, purge_whatis): Constify arguments.
8901 * src/check_mandirs.h (filename_info): Update prototype.
8903 * docs/NEWS: Document --enable-mandirs guesswork.
8904 * src/.cvsignore: Add the globbing test executable.
8906 Fri Dec 20 15:38:48 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8908 * src/globbing.c (main): Make the test program compile again, and
8909 add full argument parsing.
8910 * src/Makefile.in (globbing): Link with util.o.
8912 Fri Dec 20 15:34:51 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8914 * configure.in: Guess the --enable-mandirs setting where possible if
8915 it isn't specified explicitly.
8917 Fri Dec 20 02:28:15 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8919 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): Match database entries
8920 against real filenames using the name field where available, not
8921 the lowercased field.
8923 Fri Dec 20 02:15:21 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8925 * src/mandb.c (mandb): If force_rescan is set, delete the database
8926 and recreate it from scratch.
8927 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): force_rescan is handled
8929 (purge_normal, purge_whatis): Remove inline qualifier.
8930 (check_multi_key): New function to check for broken multi keys
8931 such as those generated by 2.4.0.
8932 (purge_missing): Call check_multi_key() where necessary.
8934 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Revert change of 27 November 2002, as
8935 calling ult_src() inside find_name() breaks mandb (which already
8936 calls ult_src() itself). Instead:
8937 (main): Do the ult_src() resolution here for each element of argv.
8939 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): 'name' argument is const.
8940 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): 'file' argument is const.
8941 * include/manconfig.h.in, src/ult_src.h: Update prototypes.
8943 Mon Dec 16 05:28:34 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8947 * lib/error.c: Add 'extern' to prototypes.
8948 * lib/strappend.c, lib/xstrdup.c, lib/xstrndup.c: #include
8949 "manconfig.h" rather than using an explicit prototype.
8950 * lib/xstrdup.c (xstrdup): 'string' should be const.
8952 * po/cs.po: Fix a format string.
8954 * src/lexgrog.l: Add Japanese translation of NAME.
8955 * src/man.c: 'wd', 'cwd', and local_man_loop() are static.
8957 Mon Dec 16 04:30:39 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8959 * configure.in: 'test "$foo"' => 'test -n "$foo"' throughout. Taken
8962 Wed Dec 4 21:02:48 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8964 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1: Replace `, ', and - (for literal dash
8965 rather than hyphen) with \(oq, \(cq, and \- respectively.
8966 (NOTES): lexgrog attempts to handle .so requests now.
8968 Tue Dec 3 01:39:54 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8970 * src/man.c (main): Only set multiple_locale if it's going to be
8971 used. Look at multiple_locale rather than internal_locale when
8972 performing special $LANGUAGE handling.
8974 Mon Dec 2 14:08:08 GMT 2002 Michael Piefel <piefel@informatik.hu-berlin.de>
8976 * po/de.po: Fix a missing newline.
8978 Mon Dec 2 13:58:55 GMT 2002 Michael Piefel <piefel@informatik.hu-berlin.de>
8980 * po/de.po: Update from Translation Project.
8982 Fri Nov 29 15:40:21 GMT 2002 Jordi Mallach <jordi@sindominio.net>
8984 * po/ca.po: Update from Translation Project.
8986 Wed Nov 27 20:27:59 GMT 2002 Christian Rose <menthos@menthos.com>
8988 * po/sv.po: Update from Translation Project.
8990 Wed Nov 27 02:43:03 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8992 * Version: 2.4.1-pre1 (for translators).
8993 * docs/NEWS: Update.
8995 Wed Nov 27 02:29:42 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
8997 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Call ult_src() to resolve .so links.
8998 * src/Makefile.in: Link ult_src.o into lexgrog.
9000 Wed Nov 27 01:49:18 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9002 * release.sh: Don't pass --copy to autogen.sh, as it's a no-op now.
9003 * po/.cvsignore, tools/.cvsignore: More ignored files.
9005 Wed Nov 27 01:46:27 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9007 * tools/mkinstalldirs: Remove. It's more trouble than it's worth to
9008 store something in CVS that autopoint thinks it controls.
9010 Wed Nov 27 01:25:52 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9012 * po/da.po: Correct some minor typographical mistakes (mostly
9013 missing spaces or newlines at the end of one piece of a string
9015 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
9016 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/pt_BR.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge.
9018 Wed Nov 27 00:51:47 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9020 * man/man1/apropos.man1, man/man1/lexgrog.man1, man/man1/man.man1,
9021 man/man1/manpath.man1, man/man1/whatis.man1,
9022 man/man1/zsoelim.man1, man/man5/manpath.man5,
9023 man/man8/accessdb.man8, man/man8/catman.man8, man/man8/mandb.man8:
9024 Add a .pc request so that the % characters we use for
9025 substitutions don't get translated into page numbers when
9026 formatting the unsubstituted pages.
9028 Wed Nov 27 00:37:29 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9030 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (WHATIS PARSING): Add an example of how NAME
9031 sections should be written in mdoc.
9033 Tue Nov 26 22:57:27 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9035 * .cvsignore: Ignore the m4 directory, created by autopoint.
9036 * GNUmakefile.in (_subdirs, _m4): Add m4/*.m4 to the distribution.
9037 (_root): There are no *.h files left in the top-level directory.
9038 (nls_man): de_DE.ascii is gone.
9039 (dist): Use 'cp -p' rather than 'ln', since ln notes that making a
9040 hard link to a symbolic link is not portable.
9042 Tue Nov 26 03:43:15 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9044 * po/pt_BR.po: New from Translation Project.
9045 * po/LINGUAS: Add pt_BR.
9047 Fri Nov 22 22:06:01 GMT 2002 Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>
9049 * po/da.po: Further updates.
9051 Sat Nov 16 12:54:29 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9053 * docs/manpage.example: Clarify that dashes in options should be
9054 written using '\-', not '-'.
9056 Thu Nov 14 23:29:14 GMT 2002 Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>
9060 Thu Nov 14 23:26:58 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9062 * configure.in: Implement --enable-undoc=COMMAND.
9063 * src/man.c (gripe_no_man): If --enable-undoc=COMMAND was set, print
9064 an additional message referring users to COMMAND. This is mostly
9065 here to support Debian's undocumented(7) page in a nicer way, but
9066 perhaps others will find it useful too.
9068 Thu Nov 14 04:21:09 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9070 * src/Makefile.in: Use @LIBINTL@ rather than @INTLLIBS@. The latter
9073 Thu Nov 14 04:17:49 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9075 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
9076 po/it.po, po/ja.po, po/sv.po: Update with msgmerge.
9078 Thu Nov 14 04:10:44 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9080 * acinclude.m4, configure.in: Include documentation in all calls to
9081 AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. Look for acinclude.m4 in
9082 AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR rather than acconfig.h.
9083 * acconfig.h: Remove; the above makes it unnecessary.
9084 * GNUmakefile.in: Remove acconfig.h from stamp-h.in's dependencies.
9086 * autogen.sh: Run autopoint, not gettextize. autogen.sh no longer
9087 takes an optional --copy argument.
9089 Thu Nov 14 04:06:41 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9091 * po/.cvsignore: Add messages.mo and remove-potcdate.sed.
9092 * po/it.po: Add missing '=' in charset.
9094 Thu Nov 14 03:53:22 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9096 * po/cs.po: Fix an incorrect C format string.
9097 * po/da.po: Fix some out-of-sync C format strings and default PO
9098 file headers. I've contacted the translator about these.
9100 Thu Nov 14 01:57:42 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9102 * man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Document the switch from SourceForge to
9105 Mon Nov 11 01:50:28 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9107 * src/man.c (man): Update the count of found pages with the return
9108 value of display_pages(). This should fix the situation where man
9109 finds a matching entry in the database, discovers that it's
9110 actually a dangling symlink, but fails to print an error message
9111 to say that no page was found.
9113 Mon Nov 11 00:47:38 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9115 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Change \[char173] to \[shc]. The
9116 former doesn't appear to display as anything useful these days.
9117 * man/es_ES.88591/man1/man.man1, man/it_IT.88591/man1/man.man1,
9118 man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/man.man1: Likewise.
9120 Thu Nov 7 02:18:44 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9122 * src/man.c (display): Don't do access() checks on an empty man_file
9123 in the display_to_stdout branch, to avoid problems when running
9124 'man -X -l -'. Similar code is already in the other branch. Patch
9125 from Peter Muir <iyhi@yahoo.com>.
9127 Thu Nov 7 01:42:52 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9129 * docs/NEWS: Further updates for 2.4.1.
9130 * docs/ToDo: I think the new-style database is OK now.
9132 Thu Nov 7 01:32:29 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9134 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): Don't use FNM_NOESCAPE flag
9136 (look_for_file): Escape paths and names before passing them to
9137 match_in_directory().
9138 * src/globbing.h: Update variable names in prototype.
9140 Wed Oct 23 02:12:43 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9142 * tools/README: Remove reference to install-manpage.
9144 Wed Oct 23 02:10:15 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9146 * tools/install-manpage: Remove. It doesn't work at all as far as I
9147 can see, and at least as far as Debian is concerned dh_installman
9149 * GNUmakefile.in: Remove reference to install-manpage.
9151 Wed Oct 23 02:03:18 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9153 Apply proper copyright and licence notices to all source files.
9154 There are no functional changes here, either to the code or to the
9155 applicable licences, merely clarifications.
9157 * docs/COPYING.LIB: New file, containing version 2.1 of the GNU
9160 Wed Oct 23 01:56:38 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9162 * tools/install-sh: Update to the version in automake 1.4-p4, which
9163 includes a full (MIT) licence notice.
9165 Sat Oct 12 20:16:48 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9167 A much-needed complete rewrite of splitline(). The previous version
9168 was extremely difficult to debug (see http://bugs.debian.org/123130)
9169 and got info->pointer and info->whatis wrong quite frequently. This
9170 version is much simpler and I hope more correct.
9172 * src/util.c (trim_spaces): New function.
9173 * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype trim_spaces().
9175 * src/check_mandirs.c (gripe_bad_store): New function.
9176 (splitline): Remove.
9177 (parse_descriptions, store_descriptions, free_descriptions): New
9178 functions, implementing the whatis parsing that used to be in
9179 splitline() and test_manfile().
9180 (test_manfile): Reduce the complicated loop over splitline() to
9181 calls to the above three functions. Adjust the parsing failure
9182 case to require less deeply nested indentation.
9183 * src/check_mandirs.h: New page_description struct, used to
9184 implement the above. Prototype new functions.
9185 * src/straycats.c: Use the new page_description-based interface.
9187 Wed Sep 25 00:39:16 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9189 * man/man1/man.man1 (DESCRIPTION): Clarify the purpose of section 7
9192 Tue Sep 24 00:22:36 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9194 * lib/strnlen.c: Don't try to define a weak alias. We aren't libc.
9196 Mon Sep 16 21:14:26 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9198 * libdb/mydbm.h: datum.dsize must be size_t, not int.
9200 Mon Sep 16 01:07:16 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9202 * src/compression.c (decompress): If the decompressor fails, print
9203 an error message and return NULL rather than exit()ing
9204 immediately. This allows callers to behave more intelligently.
9205 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Cope with decompress() returning NULL.
9206 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Likewise.
9207 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Likewise.
9209 Mon Sep 16 00:25:17 BST 2002 Clint Adams <schizo@debian.org>
9211 * configure.in: Detect bzip2.
9212 * include/comp_src.h.in (comp_list): Include bunzip2 support if
9214 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add BUNZIP2 definition.
9216 Sun Sep 15 23:53:28 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9218 Upgrade to gettext 0.11.5.
9220 * configure.in: Remove ALL_LINGUAS. Add AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION.
9221 * po/LINGUAS: New file. Adds sv to the value of the old ALL_LINGUAS.
9222 * po/Makevars: New file.
9223 * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/fakesecurity.c. Change src/lexgrog.c to
9225 * tools/mkinstalldirs: Upgrade to current version.
9227 Fri Sep 6 23:58:10 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9229 * src/mandb.c (xcopy): Don't print the error from fopen() if it's
9232 Tue Sep 3 21:53:56 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9234 * libdb/db_lookup.c (list_extensions): Prevent a theoretical buffer
9235 overflow by allocating names and ext as necessary rather than
9236 using a fixed-length array.
9237 (dblookup): Update callers.
9238 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Likewise.
9239 * libdb/db_storage.h: Update prototypes. ENTRIES definition is now
9242 Tue Sep 3 20:26:22 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9244 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Construct new multi_content
9245 correctly (names as well as extensions) when deleting some of its
9248 Fri Aug 30 03:11:42 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9250 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Restore the fix from 13 July 2001
9251 that got lost while implementing -E. We need to look up the
9252 correct character set each time a page is displayed, but still
9253 honour any device explicitly set by -E, so test different_encoding
9254 rather than roff_device.
9256 Thu Aug 29 01:14:19 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9258 * src/man.c (setenv_less): Export the value of $MAN_PN for the
9259 benefit of other pagers (suggestion from Jeff Sheinberg).
9261 Thu Aug 29 00:50:54 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9263 * src/man.c: dbfilters is no longer a global variable.
9264 (get_preprocessors, make_roff_command, display): Take an extra
9266 (local_man_loop, make_roff_command, display, display_filesystem):
9268 (display_database): Likewise. Pass in->filter as the dbfilters
9269 argument to display() rather than setting it globally (and
9270 forgetting to set it back to NULL later).
9271 * src/man.h: Update prototypes.
9273 Sat Aug 17 21:53:38 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9275 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Initialize info.name and
9276 info.filter. Remove unhelpful __inline__.
9278 Tue Aug 13 18:25:13 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9280 * src/man.c (usage): Document new option -W, --where-cat,
9282 (man_getopt): Accept -W.
9283 (display): -w now just prints man_file, while -W prints cat_file.
9284 If both are given, the two filenames are printed separated by a
9285 space, as -w used to do.
9286 * man/man1/man.man1, docs/NEWS: Document this.
9288 Sat Aug 10 13:19:34 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9290 * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.4.1.
9292 Sat Aug 10 13:15:49 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9294 * lib/hashtable.c (plain_hash_free, hash_install, hash_free): Remove
9295 the type argument and nlist element. All current users can just
9296 use separate hashtables instead.
9297 * lib/hashtable.h: Update prototypes and nlist declaration.
9298 * libdb/db_btree.c: Don't pass dummy type argument to
9301 * src/check_mandirs.c, src/man.c: Include "lib/hashtable.h" rather
9303 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Use hashtable functions on the
9304 new static whatis_hash directly rather than the old functions
9305 which implicitly operated on the global man_hash.
9306 (testmandirs): Since we use full paths as hash keys, there's no
9307 need to clear whatis_hash between hierarchies.
9308 * src/man.c (db_hash_free): New function.
9309 (main, try_db): Use hashtable functions on the new static db_hash
9310 directly rather than the old functions which implicitly operated
9311 on the global man_hash.
9312 (try_db, man): Don't clear hashtables before creating a new
9313 database. This used to segfault in some circumstances.
9315 * src/hashtable.c, src/hashtable.h: Remove.
9316 * src/Makefile.in: Remove mentions of hashtable.o.
9318 Thu Aug 8 02:05:34 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9320 * po/sv.po: New from Translation Project.
9322 Mon Jul 22 01:20:28 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9324 * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Check for pointer underflow when
9325 trimming leading spaces.
9327 Mon Jul 22 01:18:18 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9329 * libdb/db_ver.c: Include <string.h> for strcmp().
9331 Wed Jul 17 20:30:30 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9333 * src/wrapper.c: Include <locale.h> even under --disable-nls.
9335 Mon Jul 15 14:18:56 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9337 * src/lexgrog.l: Allow EOF to terminate MAN_NAME cleanly.
9339 Thu Jul 11 20:45:36 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9341 * manual/man_db.me: Version 0.7. Remove version number from \*M
9342 string. Set a default page width of 78 ens for nroff output. Add
9343 myself as an author.
9344 * manual/intro.me (man-db): Mention lexgrog.
9345 (The format of manual pages): Ted and Werner now maintain groff.
9346 * manual/sec.me (Specifying a section): Extensions don't have to be
9347 listed unless a special ordering is desired.
9348 * manual/files.me (Other OS's manual pages): --systems, not
9350 (NLS manual pages): Likewise. Update Daniel Quinlan's e-mail
9351 address. Correct "/usr/man/man" to "/usr/man" in example manpath
9353 (Displaying latin1 characters on a Linux virtual terminal): Set
9354 sample script in a constant-width font.
9355 (Local cat page directory caches): Modification times are now
9356 compared for equality rather than for the cat file being more
9358 * manual/format.me (GROFF): tools/nroff-script is no longer
9360 (Pre-format processors (pre-processors)): Mention the lexgrog scan
9361 for preprocessor hints.
9362 * manual/db.me (Contents of an index database): Clarify where the
9363 true case of a name is stored.
9364 (Accessdb): accessdb is compiled by default now.
9365 * manual/misc.me (NLS message catalogues): Point to the Translation
9367 * manual/*.me: Minor wording improvements. Apply better *roff style
9368 (newline at each sentence break).
9370 * man/THANKS: Update Jordi Mallach's e-mail address.
9372 Sun Jul 7 22:19:41 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9374 * tools/config.guess: Update to 2002-05-29.
9375 * tools/config.sub: Update to 2002-06-21.
9376 * tools/README: Describe config.guess and config.sub.
9378 * tools/nroff-script: Remove. groff has had this since 1992, and its
9379 version is considerably more up-to-date.
9380 * GNUmakefile.in, tools/README: Remove references to nroff-script.
9382 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: -Wall cleanup. Set the nounput option, since we
9383 don't need yyunput().
9384 (open_file): Make sure the compiler knows that compfile and comp
9385 are always initialized.
9387 Sat Jul 6 21:30:07 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9389 * src/man.c (get_roff_line_length): Widen to match groff 1.18's
9391 (add_roff_line_length, make_roff_command): Simplify by using en
9392 units rather than inches.
9394 * src/man.c (main): Slight improvement in the error message for a
9395 missing page. If the name doesn't begin with a digit, never use
9396 gripe_no_name(): having the 'n' section shouldn't mean that 'man
9397 nonexistent' says "What manual page do you want from section
9400 * src/man.c (try_section): Check for ult_src() returning NULL.
9402 Wed Jul 3 23:46:31 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9404 * src/manp.c (add_system_manpath): Make sure the loop that scans for
9405 per-system manpaths always makes progress.
9407 Wed Jul 3 23:14:42 BST 2002 David Martinez Moreno <ender@debian.org>
9409 * man/THANKS: Update e-mail address.
9412 Sat Jun 29 14:58:08 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9414 * src/man.c (main): If a section is given but the lookup fails,
9415 check to see if the section is actually a page name. This allows
9416 man page names that begin with a digit to work much more sanely.
9417 (is_section): If a single-character entry in section_list is a
9418 prefix of the requested section name, return successfully. This
9419 means that e.g. '3tcl' is treated as a valid section even if only
9420 '3' is in section_list.
9422 * src/man.c (is_section), src/man.h (is_section): Constify argument
9425 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory, look_for_file): Reduce
9428 Wed Jun 26 20:07:56 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9430 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): "(unknown)" => "(unknown subject)",
9431 mainly so that translators know the number and gender.
9433 Wed Jun 26 19:49:49 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9435 * src/catman.c (usage), src/man.c (usage), src/mandb.c (usage),
9436 src/manpath.c (usage): Make --help output more consistent.
9437 * src/whatis.c (usage): Likewise. "alternate systems" => "alternate
9440 Wed Jun 26 14:47:01 UTC 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9443 * README: Update or remove references to "man-db-2.3" and similar.
9444 * man-db.gnu: Update and sync with GNU.
9445 * man-db.lsm: Update.
9446 * manual/man_db.me: Replace "2.3.x" with "2.4.x".
9447 * po/ca.po, po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po,
9448 po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update with msgmerge.
9450 Wed Jun 26 14:09:25 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9452 * src/lexgrog.l (name_sec): Allow whitespace before any closing
9453 double quote. (rman(1) uses '.SH "NAME "'.)
9455 Tue Jun 25 00:29:22 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9457 * docs/NEWS: Translation credits are in man/THANKS.
9458 * man/THANKS: Update.
9460 * manual/.cvsignore: New file.
9462 Mon Jun 24 02:53:00 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9464 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Use \t instead of . to separate
9465 case-variant-names and extensions in multi keys.
9466 * libdb/db_lookup.c (list_extensions): Take an extra 'names' array
9467 argument, and split alternately into that and 'ext'.
9468 (dblookup): Update and simplify accordingly; we don't need the
9469 awkward '.' handling any more.
9470 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Likewise.
9471 * libdb/db_storage.h (list_extensions): Update prototype.
9473 * include/manconfig.h.in: Database format version 2.4.1.
9475 * manual/db.me (Contents of an index database): Document
9476 case-insensitive name storage format. Bring the documentation of
9477 the database entry format up to date.
9478 * manual/sec.me (Specifying a section): Mention the SECTION
9479 configuration directive.
9481 Fri Jun 21 10:50:40 UTC 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9483 * src/check_mandirs.c (make_filename): in->comp may be NULL.
9485 * po/fr.po: Update from Translation Project.
9487 Mon Jun 17 09:56:15 UTC 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9489 * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add ca.
9490 * src/man.c: Update some comments.
9491 * src/lexgrog.l: Treat \~ as a space. Treat \# as a comment. Treat
9492 .ig as ending the whatis.
9494 Thu Jun 13 18:16:46 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9496 * po/ca.po: Some updates after review.
9498 Wed Jun 12 18:29:18 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9500 * docs/ToDo: Updates.
9501 * po/ca.po: New from Translation Project.
9503 Wed Jun 5 14:23:13 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9505 * po/de.po: Update from Translation Project.
9507 Tue Jun 4 13:15:09 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9509 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Return 0 when asked to compare two
9510 candidates we can't distinguish, not -1. The latter broke
9511 multilingual support.
9513 Tue Jun 4 01:33:31 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9515 * Version: 2.3.90 (for translators).
9516 * docs/NEWS: More updates.
9517 * po/cs.po, po/da.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po,
9518 po/ja.po: Update with msgmerge.
9520 Tue May 28 00:36:55 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9522 * libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup): Check the MATCH_CASE flag in the
9523 case of a single entry as well as multiple entries.
9525 Mon May 27 23:57:26 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9527 * lib/hashtable.c, lib/hashtable.h: New files, containing the
9528 generic parts of src/hashtable.{c,h}.
9529 * lib/Makefile.in: Add hashtable.c.
9530 * src/hashtable.c (hash, lookup, install): Remove. These functions
9531 have been renamed and moved to lib/hashtable.c.
9532 (free_defn): Rename to man_hash_free and update for new hashtable
9534 (free_hashtab): Update for new hashtable API.
9535 * src/hashtable.h: Update prototypes.
9537 * libdb/db_btree.c (btree_findkey): Check for entries we've seen
9538 before in the current run. These indicate a corrupt database
9541 Thu May 23 01:50:53 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9543 * lib/cleanup.h: #endif must not be followed by a token on the same
9546 Thu May 23 00:29:24 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9548 * src/fake_security.c (get_man_owner): New fake function to match
9549 the real one in src/security.c.
9550 * src/manp.c (mkcatdirs): Chown newly created cat directories to the
9551 MAN_OWNER when running as root.
9553 * .cvsignore, intl/.cvsignore, po/.cvsignore: Ignore a few more
9555 * src/man_db.conf.in: Correct the heading.
9557 Wed May 22 00:06:18 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9559 * libdb/db_store.c (compare_ids): New function, replacing the
9560 FAVOUR() macro. Without this, the last-but-one commit won't
9562 (replace_if_necessary): Use it.
9563 * libdb/db_storage.h: Prototype it.
9565 Mon May 20 03:07:24 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9567 * src/man.c (setenv_less): New function to set up $LESS. This
9568 honours the new environment variable $MANLESS, which overrides the
9569 usual processing and is copied directly into $LESS.
9570 (make_display_command): Use it.
9571 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Mention $MANLESS alongside the
9573 (ENVIRONMENT): Document $MANLESS.
9575 Mon May 20 02:16:43 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9577 * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Compare id fields as a last
9578 resort, so that, for example, real pages sort ahead of whatis-only
9580 (try_section): Set the id field based on the output of ult_src().
9582 * src/man.c (man): When locating pages, don't stop when one is found
9583 in a particular directory and -a wasn't given. That's now the job
9584 of the display code.
9586 Mon May 20 01:16:02 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9588 * libdb/db_lookup.c (free_mandata_elements): New function, to be
9589 used rather than freeing the addr field directly. This frees name
9591 (free_mandata_struct): Use it.
9592 * libdb/db_btree.c (dbstore, dblookup): Likewise.
9593 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Likewise.
9594 * src/whatis.c (whatis): Likewise.
9595 * libdb/db_storage.h: Prototype it.
9597 * libdb/db_store.c (replace_if_necessary): Rename in and info to
9598 newdata and olddata, which are more comprehensible. Don't check
9599 that the name fields match here - the caller should do that.
9600 (dbstore): Make sure in->name isn't set on entry, and instead set
9601 it to the basename where necessary. Don't set the name field in
9602 multi keys, which use the proper case.
9604 * src/check_mandirs.c (filename_info): We don't need to examine the
9605 case of base_name here.
9607 Thu May 16 00:47:05 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9609 * libdb/db_btree.c (btree_flopen): If O_CREAT isn't set, check
9610 whether we're trying to open a zero-length database and, if so,
9611 return immediately. This works around some pathological behaviour
9614 Mon May 6 03:48:17 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9616 * libdb/db_store.c (FAVOUR): Parenthesize macro arguments.
9617 (dbstore): In situation (3), use the old lookup key for the name
9618 of the corresponding multi key, not the basename (which may be in
9621 Sun May 5 17:49:21 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9623 * src/lexgrog.l: Accept DOS line-ending conventions.
9625 Sun May 5 15:38:34 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9627 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Don't scribble over the list
9628 returned by list_extensions(). We need it shortly afterwards to
9629 construct the new multi key.
9631 Fri May 3 19:43:52 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9633 * include/manconfig.h.in (LESS_OPTS): Add the -R flag, which helps
9634 with displaying the ANSI colour escapes generated by groff 1.18.
9636 Fri May 3 19:27:40 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9638 * src/man.c (add_roff_line_length): New function, adding -rLL and
9639 -rLT to the groff command line (supported in groff >= 1.18).
9640 (make_roff_command): Call add_roff_line_length(). The old code to
9641 set .ll and .lt remains for compatibility purposes.
9643 Wed May 1 02:16:11 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9645 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Include the subdirectory name
9646 in the "Updating index cache" message.
9648 Wed May 1 02:05:02 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9650 * libdb/db_store.c: Make sure the check for whether a replace is
9651 necessary in situation (3) behaves as it did before the multi key
9654 * libdb/db_lookup.c (copy_if_set, dash_if_unset): Constify
9656 * libdb/db_storage.h: Likewise for prototypes.
9657 * src/convert_name.c (gripe_converting_name): name should be const.
9658 * src/manp.c (get_catpath): suffix should be const.
9660 Wed May 1 00:14:20 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9662 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): Close the directory after
9665 Wed May 1 00:02:53 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9667 Case-(in)sensitivity in database lookups should work properly now.
9669 * libdb/db_lookup.c (gripe_bad_multi_key): New function.
9670 (make_multi_key): Don't lowercase page any more - that happens
9672 (list_extensions): We now return names/extensions, not just
9674 (dblookup): Multi keys are now formed as "RealCase.1" rather than
9675 just "1". Add a new MATCH_CASE flag which, if set, makes sure the
9676 RealCase part matches. Otherwise the database lookup is
9678 (dblookup_exact, dblookup_all): Pass through a match_case flag for
9680 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Cope with new multi key format.
9681 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Construct the multi key from the
9682 original case of the name rather than the lowercased version. Add
9683 the basename to the multi keys created here, as above.
9684 * src/man.c (display_database): Pass match_case flag through to the
9687 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Make sure lookups are
9689 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise.
9690 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Likewise.
9691 (whatis): Use a case-insensitive lookup.
9693 * libdb/db_storage.h (struct mandata): name is no longer const; it
9694 should always be freeable if non-NULL. We no longer use "-" to
9695 indicate it being the same as the requested name, except in the
9697 * libdb/db_lookup.c (copy_if_set, dash_if_unset): New functions.
9698 (infoalloc): Zero the newly allocated structure.
9699 (free_mandata_struct): Free name if it's set.
9700 (dbprintf, split_content, make_content, dblookup): Cope with the
9701 new convention for info->name.
9702 * libdb/db_store.c (replace_if_necessary): Likewise.
9703 * src/check_mandirs.c (filename_info): Likewise.
9704 * src/man.c (compare_candidates, add_candidate, display_database):
9706 * src/whatis.c (display): Likewise.
9708 * libdb/db_storage.h: Update prototypes.
9710 Mon Apr 29 00:13:58 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9712 * src/whatis.c (display): Display page names in the correct case
9713 using the new info->name field.
9715 Mon Apr 29 00:00:38 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9717 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Put a space in the grep command before
9720 Sun Apr 28 23:50:22 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9722 Pass through much of the code adding 'const' where appropriate. This
9723 should help me avoid various memory management bugs.
9725 Noteworthy changes from this:
9727 * include/manconfig.h.in (struct compression): prog and ext
9728 generally shouldn't be modified directly.
9729 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_content): dash really has to stay
9730 constant, or the various things that point to it statically will
9731 break other things badly.
9732 * libdb/db_storage.h (struct mandata): The only pointers here that
9733 should generally be modified directly are next and addr.
9734 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Remove debugging code left from
9736 * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Note that we're deliberately
9737 modifying info->whatis here.
9738 (filename_info): Modify to be more const-friendly.
9739 * src/compression.c (comp_file): Add TODO for comp->file.
9740 * src/man.c (find_cat_file): Drop unused sec argument, and update
9743 * include/manconfig.h.in, libdb/db_storage.h, src/hashtable.h,
9744 src/man.h, src/manp.h: Update prototypes for all of the above.
9746 Fri Apr 26 01:59:46 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9748 Add case-insensitivity support to the database.
9750 * libdb/db_storage.h (struct mandata): Add 'name' element.
9751 * libdb/db_lookup.c (dbprintf): Print name.
9752 (split_content): Read name from start of data.
9753 (make_content): Prepend name to each data element.
9754 (name_to_key): New function, converting a name to lowercase for
9755 use in database keys.
9756 (make_multi_key): Use name_to_key().
9757 (dblookup): Use name_to_key(). If info->name is "-", set it to the
9758 requested key instead.
9759 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Use name_to_key().
9760 * libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Likewise.
9762 * src/check_mandirs.c (make_filename): Use in->name if name is NULL.
9763 (filename_info): Fill in info->name with either a new req_name
9764 argument or the supplied base_name.
9765 (test_manfile): Update calls to make_filename() and
9767 * src/check_mandirs.h: Update prototype.
9769 * src/man.c (struct candidate): Rename 'name' to 'req_name'.
9770 (display_filesystem, display_database_check): Update accordingly.
9771 (compare_candidates): Sort exact-case matches to the front.
9772 (add_candidate): Update calls to compare_candidate() and
9773 filename_info(). When comparing duplicates, check the name field
9774 in the mandata rather than the requested name.
9775 (try_section): The hack to get the name from info_buffer is no
9776 longer required now that filename_info() fills that in.
9777 (display_filesystem): Update calls to make_filename(). Use the
9778 mandata name for the displayed title rather than the requested
9779 name. Sanity-check in->name != "-".
9781 * include/manconfig.h.in: Bump the database version to 2.4.0.
9783 * lib/xstrndup.c: Prototype strnlen().
9785 Mon Apr 22 00:00:08 BST 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9787 * src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): New function, implementing a
9788 limited glob() with optional case-insensitivity.
9789 (look_for_file): Use match_in_directory() rather than glob().
9790 Accept new match_case argument.
9791 * src/globbing.h: Update prototype.
9792 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_whatis, purge_missing): Update calls to
9794 * src/man.c (usage, man_getopt): Add --ignore-case and --match-case
9796 (try_section): Update calls to look_for_file().
9797 (try_section, display_filesystem, display_database,
9798 display_database_check, display_pages, man): Make sure to use the
9799 candidate name rather than the requested name, so that
9800 case-insensitive lookups work.
9801 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Document --ignore-case and
9804 * po/.cvsignore: Ignore man-db.pot rather than man_db.pot.
9806 Thu Apr 18 11:15:11 BST 2002 Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>

9825 (--with-config-file): New option.
9826 * include/Defines.in (config_file): Honour --with-config-file
9829 Fri Mar 29 21:08:37 GMT 2002 dann frazier <dannf@dannf.org>
9831 * docs/manpage.example.sgml: Update copyright year.
9833 Thu Mar 21 16:22:58 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9835 * src/man.c (main): Save the value of $LESS at startup to
9836 $MAN_ORIG_LESS, and use that saved value in preference to $LESS.
9837 This lets recursive invocations of man give less the correct page
9840 Wed Mar 20 09:37:11 GMT 2002 Eirik Fuller <eirik@hackrat.com>
9842 * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Don't create a copy of base_name
9844 (test_manfile): Be more careful about pointer reuse across calls

9855 * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add da. Reorder alphabetically.
9857 Sat Jan 12 17:55:12 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9859 * src/lexgrog.l: Match a line at a time rather than a character at a
9860 time after the end of the NAME section.
9862 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): More --debug information.
9864 * include/manconfig.h.in (LESS_OPTS): Prune duplicate -Pm option.
9865 Set -PM too so it works even when $LESS contains -M.
9866 * src/man.c (make_display_command): Substitute prompt_string into
9867 LESS_OPTS twice to accommodate the above.
9869 Mon Jan 7 16:16:02 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9871 * src/lexgrog.l: Another {blank_eol} fix, thanks to Peter Clay.
9873 Sun Jan 6 19:05:46 GMT 2002 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9875 * src/lexgrog.l: Use {blank_eol}, not [blank_eol]. The latter
9876 matches in entirely inappropriate places.
9878 Sun Dec 23 06:17:47 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9880 * src/man.c (long_options, usage, man_getopt): Add a new
9881 -E/--encoding option. It behaves a little like -T, except that it
9882 uses nroff instead of troff and outputs to a pager.
9883 (make_roff_command): Only call determine_lang_table() if
9884 roff_device isn't already set.
9885 (display, try_section, display_filesystem, display_database):
9886 Check for different_encoding.

9892 section_list before comparing them lexicographically.
9893 (add_candidate): Do a better job of inserting each entry at the
9894 right place in the list.
9896 Sun Dec 23 04:47:02 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9898 * src/man.c (determine_lang_table): Format man pages in UTF-8 if
9899 that's the current locale's character set.
9901 Sun Dec 23 02:35:24 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9903 * src/man.c (popen, pclose): Move to a separate library file ...
9904 * lib/popen.c: ... here.
9905 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_FUNC_PCLOSE): Use AC_LIBOBJ to conditionally
9907 * acconfig.h: Remove BROKEN_PCLOSE definition.
9909 Major rewrite of man's searching code to make it maintainable and to
9910 prepare for better sorting of displayed man pages.
9912 * src/man.c (add_candidate): New function to add an item to a list
9914 (compare_candidates): New helper function.
9915 (compare_names, compare_mandata_ext): Remove.

9919 (display_filesystem): New function to display pages found by
9921 (try_db_section): Rename to display_database(), and use the
9922 candidate structures.
9923 (exist_check): Rename to display_database_check(); use candidates.
9924 (locate_page): Pass the candidate list through to try_section()
9926 (display_pages): New function to iterate through a candidate list
9927 and display each entry.
9928 (man): Create a candidate list and pass it to locate_page().
9929 Display pages only after building the full list.
9931 Mon Dec 17 03:40:48 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9933 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (EXIT STATUS): Document mandb's exit codes.

9964 Fri Dec 7 00:35:53 GMT 2001 Paul Slootman <paul@wurtel.net>
9966 * src/man.c (main): Delete spurious backslashes in prompt_string.
9968 Wed Nov 21 20:59:14 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9970 * po/fr.po: Update from Laurent Pelecq.
9971 * po/.cvsignore: Ignore ChangeLog.
9973 Wed Nov 21 00:48:50 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9975 Keeping generated files like the output of gettextize in CVS is bad.
9977 * intl/*, po/ChangeLog, po/Makefile.in.in: Remove.
9978 * autogen.sh: Run gettextize.
9979 * release.sh: When releasing, pass --copy to gettextize.
9981 Wed Nov 21 00:29:26 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9983 * src/compression.c (decompress): Free esc_file and esc_filename
9984 once we're finished with them.
9986 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): If argv is a directory, display a
9987 useful error message rather than letting zsoelim get confused.
9989 Mon Nov 19 00:53:03 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9991 * libdb/db_lookup.c (copy_datum): Explicitly null-terminate
9992 dat.dptr, since C string-manipulation functions are used on it.
9994 Fri Nov 16 04:28:31 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
9996 * src/manp.c (add_nls_manpath): Concatenate strings more safely.
9998 Changes adapted from a patch by OGAWA Hirofumi
9999 <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>:
10001 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): $LIBS, not LIBS, and quote it while
10003 * src/manp.c (pathappend): Use strsep() rather than strtok().
10004 (cat_manpath): Likewise.
10005 (add_nls_manpath): Likewise.
10007 Thu Nov 8 11:27:32 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10009 * src/man.c (get_preprocessors_from_file): Drop privileges to access
10012 Wed Nov 7 13:34:38 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

10029 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Suppress wrong report of a pointer loop
10030 when the second or subsequent element in a pointer chain points to
10031 itself and has a usable whatis.
10033 Wed Sep 19 00:47:55 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10035 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Drop privileges throughout.

10047 Tue Sep 18 03:46:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10049 * lib/xstrndup.c: New file.
10050 * lib/Makefile.in: Build it.

10053 * src/man.c (compare_names, compare_mandata_ext): New functions.
10054 (try_section): Build title more locally, displaying extensions
10055 correctly. Sort the results of look_for_file().
10056 (try_db_section): Build title even if NROFF_MISSING is defined.
10057 (try_db): Sort data returned from the database.
10058 (locate_page): Look in the filesystem first and then the database,
10059 rather than the other way round.
10061 * src/manp.c (checkpath): Remove; it used to resolve symlinks, but
10062 it doesn't do that any more and I don't think it should.
10063 * src/manp.c: Constify arguments to many functions by either being
10064 more careful not to alter them or by duplicating them.
10065 * src/util.c (is_directory): Likewise.
10066 * src/catman.c, src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/whatis.c (main):
10068 * src/manp.h, include/manconfig.h.in: Update prototypes.
10069 * src/manp.h: add_system_manpath() is static now.
10071 * include/manconfig.h.in: Provide stupid getcwd() emulation with
10072 getwd() if the former isn't available.
10073 * src/man.c (main, format_display): Assume getcwd() is available.
10074 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
10075 * src/manp.c (add_dir_to_path_list): Likewise.
10077 * src/manp.c (add_dir_to_path_list): The checks that manpaths end in
10078 /man or /MAN were overly anal and never compiled in; remove them.
10080 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_PROG_GNU_NROFF): More portable shell for ash.
10082 * src/man.c (lang_table): We use the latin1 alias rather than
10083 iso8859 for all other languages, so do so for Korean too.
10085 * src/lexgrog.l: Prevent the no-op request '.' from eating text on
10087 (find_name): Remove trailing spaces as well as leading ones.
10089 Fri Sep 7 19:28:12 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10092 * docs/NEWS: Update.
10093 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po:
10096 Fri Sep 7 00:55:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10098 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Include other manpage.example formats.
10100 * lib/tempfile.c (create_tempfile): Create with mode 0600.
10101 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Drop privileges for temporary
10103 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Likewise.
10104 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Likewise.
10105 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise.
10106 (straycats): Likewise.
10107 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Likewise.
10109 Thu Sep 6 21:54:05 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10111 * include/Defines.in: Add lexgrog to list of transformed program
10112 names. Adjust sysconfdir detection.
10113 * src/Makefile.in (install): Really install lexgrog by default.
10114 Create the directory config_file is in rather than sysconfdir.
10116 Wed Sep 5 19:55:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10118 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Generate a .tar.gz, not a .tgz.
10119 * src/man.c: Korean: roff_device is ascii8, LESSCHARSET is iso8859.
10120 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po:
10123 Wed Sep 5 03:42:18 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10125 * src/compression.c (decompress): Constify arguments.
10126 * include/manconfig.h.in: Likewise.
10128 * src/lexgrog.l (find_name): Deal with '-' and compressed files.
10129 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (DESCRIPTION): Document this.
10130 (BUGS): Remove (optimism ...).
10131 (NOTES): New section. lexgrog can't parse .so requests.
10132 * src/Makefile.in: Really build lexgrog by default, and add some
10135 Wed Sep 5 02:02:20 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10137 * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes.
10139 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Document --html.
10140 (ENVIRONMENT): Document $BROWSER.
10141 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Explain that --create implies
10144 Tue Sep 4 18:38:23 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10146 * src/man.c (format_display): If $BROWSER contains several elements
10147 separated by colons, try each in turn until one succeeds.
10149 Tue Sep 4 02:09:07 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10151 * src/man.c (format_display): Actually change to the temporary
10152 directory for HTML output.
10153 * src/mandb.c (main): --create implies --no-purge.
10155 Sat Sep 1 17:40:06 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10157 * lib/mkdtemp.c, lib/mkstemp.c, lib/tempname.c: New files, taken
10159 * lib/Makefile.in, lib/README: Add them.
10160 * configure.in: Check for mkdtemp() and mkstemp().
10161 * lib/tempfile.c (path_search): New function, split from
10162 create_tempfile(). Now checks $TMP as well as $TMPDIR, and ensures
10163 that neither is checked when privileges are raised.
10164 (create_tempfile): Use it. Fix the umask around the call to
10165 mkstemp() rather than calling fchmod() after the fact.
10166 (create_tempdir): New function.
10167 * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype create_tempdir().
10169 * src/man.c: --html code needs to be guarded by TROFF_IS_GROFF.
10170 (man_getopt): If -H is given, set troff to 1. Add -H to the
10171 "incompatible options" error message.
10172 (make_roff_command): Revert determine_lang_table() special case.
10173 (format_display): Use a temporary directory for HTML output (groff
10174 tends to output several files, including images). Take an extra
10175 argument, used to set the name of the main output file.
10176 (display): Pass man_file to format_display().
10177 * src/util.c (remove_directory): New function.
10178 * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype it.
10180 Fri Aug 31 22:20:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10182 Initial support for ESR's $BROWSER variable. Not complete yet.
10184 * src/man.c: Remove ENABLE_HTML guards around all the --html code.
10185 Too many #ifdefs clutter the code, and it should at least be
10186 usable to some extent now.
10187 (main): Check $BROWSER before other ways of finding html_pager.
10188 (man_getopt): If -H is given, set roff_device to "html". Reset
10189 htmlout and html_pager with -D.
10190 (make_roff_command): Don't call determine_lang_table() if htmlout
10192 (make_browser): New function.
10193 (make_display_command): Add case for htmlout being set.
10194 (format_display_and_save): Rename roff_cmd to format_cmd.
10195 (display_catman): Likewise.
10196 (display): Likewise. Add some cases for htmlout being set (always
10197 format, never save a cat page). Split some code out into
10199 (format_display): New function.
10201 * src/man.c (main): Save the value of $LESS for later.
10202 (make_display_command): Use setenv() to change $LESS in the
10203 environment rather than nasty shell code.
10205 * src/man.c (main): Don't loop if $LANGUAGE is set but empty.
10206 (display_catman): Fix segfaults due to strappend() misuse.
10207 * src/manp.c (read_config_file): Print dotmanpath, not home (which
10208 might point to freed memory).
10210 * src/man.c (main): Tidy up error message.
10211 (store_line_length): Remove duplicate 'int width' declaration.
10213 Wed Aug 29 20:44:27 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10215 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (WHATIS PARSING): Move to ...
10216 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1: ... here.
10218 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Run
10221 Wed Aug 29 01:48:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10223 * man/man1/apropos.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Fix grammar error.
10225 Wed Aug 29 01:34:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10227 * src/lexgrog.l (usage): New function.
10228 (main): Rewrite. Add command-line options, and make the output
10229 more easily parseable by other programs. By default, the lexgrog
10230 program now only attempts to parse its input as a man page and
10231 only displays the whatis line, although this can be changed on the
10233 * src/Makefile.in: Include lexgrog in $(PROGS), so that it gets
10234 built by default and linked against version.o.
10235 * man/man1/lexgrog.man1: New man page. Still needs some work.
10236 * man/Makefile.in: Install it. Tolerate it being missing in some
10237 languages (ugly hack).
10239 Tue Aug 21 01:57:44 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10241 * src/Makefile.in: Link non-setuid programs against fake_security.o
10242 rather than security.o.
10243 * src/fake_security.c: Add a few stub variables to match recent
10244 security.c changes.
10246 Tue Aug 21 01:34:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10248 * src/Makefile.in (install): Don't depend on all, so that the
10249 package isn't recompiled when running 'make install' on a machine
10250 with a skewed clock.
10251 Don't install the wrapper. Install man and mandb in $(bindir)
10252 rather than $(libdir)/man-db.
10253 If lexgrog and globbing have been built, install them in
10254 $(libdir)/man-db rather than $(sbindir).
10255 Ensure $(sbindir) and $(libdir)/man-db exist.
10257 Tue Aug 21 00:40:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10259 * src/man.c (escape_special): Rename to escape_less(). Constify
10261 (determine_lang_table): Constify argument. Unify some common code.
10262 (make_display_common): Use escape_less() rather than
10264 * docs/NEWS: Document shell escaping.
10266 Sun Aug 19 23:56:36 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10268 * configure.in: Compile with -Wall by default.
10269 * src/compression.c: Include "security.h".
10270 * src/manp.c: Likewise.
10271 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_whatis): Correct return value when
10272 purging a WHATIS_MAN entry with a missing target.
10273 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Remove unused variables 'pointer' and
10275 * src/man.c: Include <time.h> for time().
10276 (local_man_loop): Remove unused variable 'dir'.
10277 (make_roff_command): Remove unused variable 'tmpfile'.
10278 (exist_check): Print 'loc' in pointer format rather than string
10279 format (it's a struct mandata *).
10280 * src/wrapper.c: Include <grp.h> for initgroups().
10282 Sun Aug 19 13:16:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10284 * src/manp.c (iterate_over_list): New function (get_from_list() can
10285 only get the first matching element).
10286 (get_manpath): Use iterate_over_list() to get multiple matching
10287 MANPATH_MAP entries.
10289 Sun Aug 19 13:02:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10291 * src/man.c (popen, pclose): Rely on the BROKEN_PCLOSE check in
10292 configure rather than checking architectures here.
10293 (man_getopt): Wrap the remaining code related to --html in '#ifdef
10295 (make_roff_command): Remove HAS_TROFF and NROFF_MISSING asserts; I
10296 think they're unnecessarily unwieldy here.
10297 (tmp_cat_filename): Constify argument.
10298 (commit_tmp_cat): Constify arguments.
10299 (display_catman): New function, split from display().
10300 (display): Use display_catman(). Don't shadow status from an outer
10302 (try_section): Simplify cat page case.
10304 * src/util.c (escape_shell): New function.
10305 * include/manconfig.h.in: strappend() is no longer in util.c.
10306 Prototype escape_shell().
10307 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Use escape_shell() liberally to
10308 protect against strange characters.
10309 (make_display_command): Likewise. Add special handling for $MAN_PN
10310 in the less prompt string, since the environment variable is no
10311 longer parsed by the shell.
10312 (display_catman): Likewise.
10313 (display): Likewise.
10314 * src/whatis.c (use_grep): Likewise.
10316 * src/catman.c (main): Print a warning if setlocale() fails.
10317 * src/man.c (main): Likewise.
10318 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
10319 * src/manpath.c (main): Likewise.
10320 * src/whatis.c (main): Likewise.
10321 * src/wrapper.c (main): Explain why this doesn't need to warn if
10324 Thu Aug 9 15:10:26 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10326 * configure.in: Require autoconf 2.50a (for AS_VAR_*).
10327 * src/wrapper.c: If DEBUG is defined, allow _man and _mandb as
10328 argv[0] names as well as man and mandb, rather than instead of
10330 * docs/NEWS: Document lexgrog improvement. The mkstemp() work was
10331 more an improvement than a fix, as I don't think it was
10334 Mon Aug 6 02:22:38 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10336 * src/lexgrog.l: groff requests aren't case-sensitive, so stop the
10337 preprocessor detection thinking they are.
10339 Mon Aug 6 01:26:26 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10341 * lib/tempfile.c (create_tempfile): Use mode 0644 rather than mode
10342 0600 so that it can be read with different privilege levels.
10344 Thu Aug 2 00:12:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10346 * lib/tempfile.c: New file. create_tempfile() does sane
10347 mkstemp()-like temporary file creation, while searching through
10348 $TMPDIR, P_tmpdir, and /tmp in the style of tempnam().
10349 * include/manconfig.h.in: Prototype create_tempfile().
10350 * lib/tempnam.c: Remove, as we no longer use it.
10351 * lib/Makefile.in, lib/README: Remove mentions of tempnam.c, and use
10352 tempfile.c instead.
10353 * configure.in: Don't replace tempnam().
10355 * src/compression.c (create_ztemp): Use create_tempfile() rather
10357 * src/man.c (create_stdintmp): Likewise.
10358 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (open_file): Likewise.
10359 * src/straycats.c (straycats): Use create_tempfile() rather than
10362 * src/compression.c (decompress): Call remove_ztemp() rather than
10364 (remove_ztemp): Only close the fd if it looks valid.
10365 * src/man.c (remove_stdintmp): Remember to free stdin_tmpfile.
10367 * acinclude.m4: Correct AC_VAR_* to AS_VAR_*.
10368 * src/util.c (is_changed): Fix comment.
10370 * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.3.20.
10372 Tue Jul 24 02:17:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10374 * docs/manpage.example: Some cleanups. Use more conventional
10375 formatting for references to other man pages.
10376 * docs/manpage.example.pod, docs/manpage.example.sgml: New files.
10378 Mon Jul 16 16:42:46 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10380 * src/lexgrog.l: Restore fr_name to the NAME regex.
10382 Fri Jul 13 11:51:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10384 * man/de_DE.ascii: Remove (Latin-1 variant still exists).
10386 Fri Jul 13 02:35:39 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10388 * */.cvsignore: New files.
10390 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Look up the correct character set
10391 each time a page is displayed, not just the first time.
10393 Thu Jul 12 01:11:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10395 * src/lexgrog.l: Split out NAME-matching regex into one regex per
10396 language. Add support for cs, fi, hu, nl, and pl, not forgetting
10397 Latin (for Lingua::Romana::Perligata(3pm), of course).
10398 (add_separator_to_whatis): New function, to allow trimming the
10399 first space from the " - " separator.
10400 (main): Rewrite; find_name()'s prototype changed long ago.
10402 Tue Jul 10 14:37:51 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10404 * src/util.c (is_newer): Rename to ...
10405 (is_changed): ... this. We now check whether the cat page has a
10406 different timestamp from the man page, rather than simply whether
10408 Remove hack for archivers that preserve timestamps: it's no longer
10410 * include/manconfig.h.in: Rename is_newer() prototype to
10413 * src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): Set the modification time of a created
10414 cat page to be the same as the corresponding man page.
10415 (display): stat() the man page so that commit_tmp_cat() can get
10416 its modification time.
10417 Use is_changed() rather than is_newer().
10419 Sun Jul 8 16:06:43 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10421 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Allow an entry to point to itself if it
10422 contains a non-empty whatis field. This occasionally happens when
10423 multiple names and descriptions are present, and it's easier to
10425 (display): If an entry points to itself, don't display the pointer
10426 in square brackets.
10428 * include/sections.list: Remove; it's no longer needed.
10429 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Don't install it.
10430 * include/Defines.in: Don't reference it. Also remove definition of
10431 message_catalogue (obsoleted by gettext).
10433 * include/manconfig.h.in (LESS_OPTS): Don't include $LESS.
10434 * src/man.c (make_display_command): Include $LESS here instead. Put
10435 it after prompt_string rather than before, so that long options in
10438 Sat Jul 7 16:32:24 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10440 * src/man.c (determine_lang_table): Fix silly bracketing typo that
10441 caused none of the lang_table entries to match.
10443 Thu Jul 5 15:48:42 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10447 * docs/NEWS: Update.
10448 * man-db.gnu: Update. Change formatting to something closer to that
10449 currently in the Free Software Directory CVS repository.
10450 * man-db.lsm: Update.
10452 Thu Jul 5 14:27:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10454 * man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): MANDB_MAP now only affects
10455 setuidness when in the system configuration file.
10456 * src/man_db.conf.in: Likewise.
10458 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po:
10461 Wed Jul 4 13:39:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10463 The product of some hacking at the Debian Conference. Enjoy.
10465 * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes.
10467 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add SYSTEM_CAT and USER_CAT defines.
10468 Move includes from security.c to ...
10469 * src/security.h: ... here (new file).
10470 * src/man.c: Include security.h.
10471 * src/mandb.c: Likewise.
10472 * src/security.c: Likewise.
10474 * src/manp.c (add_mandb_map): Take an additional parameter, user.
10475 Use the new MANDB_MAP_USER flag instead of MANDB_MAP if it is set.
10476 (cat_manpath): Look at user catpaths before system catpaths.
10477 (add_to_dirlist): Take user parameter, passed through to
10479 (read_config_file): Call add_to_dirlist() with user set for
10480 ~/.manpath, and reset for /etc/manpath.config (security fix).
10481 (get_mandb_manpath): Allow user manpaths.
10482 (global_catpath): Rename to get_catpath(), and only allow it to
10483 handle user catpaths (from ~/.manpath) as well if explicitly
10485 (is_global_mandir): Note that this is trusted.
10486 * src/manp.h: Reflect renaming of global_catpath() to get_catpath().
10488 * src/man.c (need_to_rerun): Use get_catpath() instead of
10490 (make_roff_command): Likewise.
10491 (display): Likewise.
10492 (find_cat_file): Likewise.
10493 (try_db_section): Likewise.
10494 (try_db): Likewise.
10495 * src/catman.c (main): Likewise (check only user mandirs).
10496 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise (check only user mandirs).
10497 * src/straycats.c (straycats): Likewise (check only with user
10499 * src/whatis.c (search): Likewise (check only with user mandirs).
10501 * src/man.c (need_to_rerun): Use is_global_mandir() rather than
10502 global_catpath() to decide whether to drop privileges.
10503 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise. Unify common code for system and
10506 * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Check catpath even if
10507 global_manpath is false.
10508 (locate_page): Simplify slightly.
10510 * src/security.c (get_man_owner): New function: gets and caches the
10511 password entry structure for MAN_OWNER.
10512 * src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): If running as root, chown created cat
10513 pages to MAN_OWNER.
10515 Sun Jul 1 01:58:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10517 * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Don't initialize the pointer
10518 field here; instead, control it from ...
10519 (test_manfile): ... here.
10520 Change the logic for multiple name/description blocks again.
10521 Remove misguided special-casing of the first name in a block. Set
10522 the id field more carefully, depending on string equality instead
10523 of ordering. Avoid scribbling over lg.whatis when a later
10524 splitline() needs it. Don't call splitline() if whatis parsing
10527 * src/check_mandirs.c (purge_normal): New function, factored out
10528 from purge_missing().
10529 (purge_whatis): New function to decide whether to purge a
10531 (purge_missing): Use both of these.
10532 (testmandirs): purge_whatis() sometimes needs to ensure a
10533 hierarchy is rescanned. Honour this.
10534 Improve indentation levels.
10535 * src/mandb.c (main): Reset force_rescan before each purge.
10537 * src/lexgrog.l: Treat '..' as a no-op request.
10539 Sun Jul 1 01:38:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10541 * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): Mention new requirement to
10542 use --update to update databases.
10543 mandb knows how to delete old entries now, so remove a sentence
10546 * src/man.c: More in the quest for sane indentation levels.
10548 * man/man1/apropos.man1: Textual cleanups.
10549 * man/man1/man.man1: Likewise.
10550 * man/man1/manpath.man1: Likewise.
10551 * man/man1/whatis.man1: Likewise.
10552 * man/man1/zsoelim.man1: Likewise.
10553 * man/man5/manpath.man5: Likewise.
10554 * man/man8/accessdb.man8: Likewise.
10555 * man/man8/catman.man8: Likewise.
10557 * man-db.lsm: Reformatted as per the LSM.README.
10559 Thu Jun 28 22:52:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10561 * src/man.c (try_db_section): Downgrade whatis refs warning to a
10562 debugging message, as it's rather noisy for a stable release.
10564 Thu Jun 28 22:38:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10566 * src/check_mandirs.c (gripe_rwopen_failed): New function.
10567 (testmandirs): Use it.
10568 (purge_missing): New function to purge database entries whose
10569 associated manual pages have been deleted.
10570 * src/check_mandirs.h: Prototype purge_missing().
10572 * src/mandb.c (main): New --no-purge option. Unless it is used,
10573 purge_missing() is called on each database before calling mandb().
10574 Don't call straycats() until after the temporary database has been
10575 moved to its permanent location. Make sure all cleanup code is
10576 called with dropped privileges.
10577 Add statistics message for purged entries, and separate messages
10578 for the benefit of translations.
10579 When --test is given, only assume --quiet if --debug wasn't given.
10580 (usage): Describe --no-purge.
10582 * src/man.c: Move extension's storage to ...
10583 * src/globbing.c: ... here.
10584 (look_for_file): Constify string arguments.
10585 * src/man.h: Move prototype of look_for_file() to ...
10586 * src/globbing.h: ... here (new file).
10588 * src/manp.c (pathappend): Only append the new element(s) if any
10589 were left after removing duplicates.
10590 (read_config_file): Make sure what we free was actually allocated.
10592 * src/Makefile.in (mandb): Link with globbing.o.
10594 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Document --no-purge.
10595 General textual cleanup.
10597 * src/accessdb.c (main): Move content into a tighter scope.
10599 * src/security.c (drop_effective_privs): Style nit.
10601 Thu Jun 28 13:28:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10603 * man/man1/man.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Document $MANWIDTH.
10605 Thu Jun 28 13:15:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10607 * src/man.c (store_line_length, get_roff_line_length): New
10608 functions, adapted from Andries Brouwer's man.
10609 (main): Outside catman mode, find out and store the line length.
10610 (make_roff_command): Outside catman mode, retrieve the stored line
10611 length and feed a .ll request into the pipeline if it's
10612 non-standard. We let recent groff handle the page length.
10613 (display): Don't even consider saving the cat page if save_cat is
10615 (get_preprocessors): If the database says no preprocessors are to
10616 be used, it's OK to save the cat page.
10618 Thu Jun 28 01:44:02 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10620 * src/man_db.conf.in (SECTION): Remove guarantee that ties will be
10621 broken in lexical order within sections. It's rather complicated
10622 to be sure of that right now, and it should rarely matter.
10624 * docs/ToDo: lexgrog learnt how to detect preprocessors ages ago.
10626 Thu Jun 28 01:02:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10628 * src/manp.c (gripe_stat_file): Downgrade the warning if a manpath
10629 element doesn't exist to a debugging message (affects people
10630 without a /usr/local/share/man, for example).
10631 (read_config_file): Additional debugging message. Free home if it
10634 Thu Jun 28 00:35:09 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10636 The caching cleanup I've been promising for weeks. Here be dragons.
10638 * src/man.c (man): Only update database caches if --update is given.
10639 (main): --all no longer implies a database update (you can always
10640 use --all --update if you need that).
10642 * man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): It's no longer necessarily man's job
10643 to keep the caches up to date; use --update to get that.
10644 (DEFAULTS): Likewise. Some rationale. Mention globbing fallback.
10645 (OPTIONS/--local-file): Fix typo.
10646 (OPTIONS/--update): New description. Only useful with setuid man.
10647 * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): man will only update database
10648 entries if the --update flag is used.
10650 Tue Jun 26 22:10:07 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10652 * src/lexgrog.l: More cleanup. No substantive changes.
10653 * include/manconfig.h.in: Likewise. Also bring xrealloc() prototype
10656 * src/mandb.c (main): Allow root as well as MAN_OWNER to work on
10659 Tue Jun 26 03:45:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10661 * src/man_db.conf.in (SECTION): Add a little more advice about where
10662 to list sections with extensions.
10664 * src/manp.c (add_to_dirlist): Add SECTIONS as an alias for SECTION,
10665 since I keep getting it wrong and I came up with it in the first
10666 place. Both make sense in different situations.
10668 * src/check_mandirs.c (splitline): Trim trailing spaces off names
10669 and descriptions. If the given base_name contains a comma, only
10670 use the part of the name before it as the target for pointers.
10672 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Unroll recursion into a finite loop to
10673 avoid infinite recursion if the database contains a pointer loop.
10674 Add the page name as an argument so that a warning can be printed.
10675 (display): Pass the new argument to get_whatis().
10676 (apropos): Recommend 'mandb --create' rather than plain 'mandb' if
10677 the database gets corrupted.
10679 * src/lexgrog.l: Ignore no-op groff requests (e.g. '.').
10680 New variable, fill_mode. Reset it when .nf is encountered, set it
10681 when .fi is encountered.
10682 (newline_found): If fill_mode is set, add 0x11 instead of a space.
10684 Mon Jun 25 02:55:36 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10686 * docs/NEWS: Describe recent changes. Add dates of old releases.
10688 * include/manconfig.h.in: Move check_mandirs.c prototypes to ...
10689 * src/check_mandirs.h: ... here (new file).
10690 * src/man.c: Include check_mandirs.h.
10691 * src/mandb.c: Likewise.
10692 * src/man.h (make_filename): Move prototype to check_mandirs.h.
10694 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Split parsing of file names
10695 into mandata structures into a new function ...
10696 (filename_info): ... this.
10697 (test_manfile): Calculate length of file name minus compression
10698 extension separately from the parsing, and do so whether COMP_SRC
10701 * src/man.c (try_section): Use filename_info() to find out if the
10702 section of a glob-located file is different from the current
10703 section and is mentioned elsewhere in the configuration file. If
10704 so, ignore that file in the current section.
10706 Mon Jun 25 01:30:24 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10708 * src/man.c (man_getopt): Conditionalize gxditview initialization on
10709 TROFF_IS_GROFF. As a bonus, this squashes a compiler warning.
10710 (man): Remove some unreferenced cruft, while I'm in the process of
10711 fixing up multi-character sections.
10713 * src/Makefile.in: Build intermediate man.o and mandb.o objects, so
10714 that changing other objects just requires a relink.
10716 * src/globbing.c (look_for_file): Print the layout in debugging mode
10717 only when it's first parsed.
10719 Sun Jun 24 18:47:20 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10721 * configure.in (--with-db): Improve help output formatting.
10723 * manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Document
10727 * manual/Makefile ($(manual).html): Improve grohtml invocation.
10728 (realclean): Remove generated .png files.
10730 Sun Jun 24 17:22:53 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10732 * src/man.c (try_section): Break if a page has been found and --all
10734 (try_db): Print extension in debug mode. Compare against requested
10735 section if the extension is a section in its own right, to avoid
10737 * src/man_db.conf.in: It's SECTION, not SECTIONS.
10739 * configure.in: --enable-mandirs=OS defines how the manual page
10740 hierarchy is laid out (GNU, HPUX, Solaris, IRIX). If unset,
10741 globbing behaves as before.
10742 * acconfig.h: Add MANDIR_LAYOUT.
10743 * src/globbing.c (parse_layout): New function.
10744 (look_for_file): Associate each glob with a layout.
10746 * configure.in: Don't check for off_t (only used by gettext).
10748 Sat Jun 23 15:23:14 BST 2001 Colin Phipps <cph@cph.demon.co.uk>
10750 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l (open_file): Supply a format string to error().
10752 Sat Jun 23 15:15:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10754 * ult_src.c (ult_src): Restore the original mantree to the start of
10755 basename before calling test_for_include(), in case ult_softlink()
10756 went outside the mantree.
10757 (ult_softlink): Make debugging message print the absolute path.
10759 Tue Jun 19 02:33:40 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10761 * src/man.c (man): Allow sections to be more than one character, and
10762 trim them for use in directory names.
10763 * src/manp.c (read_config_file): Read ~/.manpath first, as entries
10764 are added the other way around now.
10766 Mon Jun 18 18:55:39 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10768 * src/manp.c (add_sections, get_sections): New functions.
10769 (add_to_dirlist): Recognize new SECTIONS directive.
10770 * src/manp.h (iterate_catlist, start_iterator): Remove (not used).
10771 (get_sections): New prototype.
10772 * src/man.c (get_section_list): Use get_sections() instead of
10773 std_sections if it returns a non-empty list.
10774 * src/man_db.conf.in: Add documentation of SECTIONS, and a default
10775 line. The documentation is still inaccurate (extensions don't work
10777 * include/manconfig.h.in (STD_SECTIONS): Reduce to only
10778 single-character sections; the rest will be set in the
10779 configuration file.
10781 * src/manp.c (add_to_list): Add to the tail rather than the head
10782 (needed for SECTIONS, probably makes other things more intuitive).
10783 (read_config_file): Restore print_list() in debug mode.
10785 * src/check_mandirs.c: Add copyright notice and change information.
10786 * src/lexgrog.l: Likewise.
10787 * src/man.c: Likewise.
10788 * src/mandb.c: Likewise.
10790 * src/compression.c (get_ztemp): Remove redundant test.
10792 * src/man.c (get_preprocessors_from_file): Change an = to ==.
10794 * src/wrapper.c (main): Cosmetic improvements.
10796 Sat Jun 16 19:22:51 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10798 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Check that
10799 canonicalize_file_name() succeeded, not that it failed. (I'm
10800 pretty sure that this is the last instance of this now.)
10802 Sat Jun 16 18:30:09 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10804 * libdb/db_store.c: Move id-favouring logic to a macro. If
10805 FAVOUR_STRAYCATS is set, make sure a WHATIS_MAN entry won't
10806 inadvertently replace a STRAY_CAT.
10808 * configure.in: Don't strip binaries in LDFLAGS (GNU standards).
10810 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Check that opendir() succeeded,
10811 not that it failed!
10812 (testmandirs): Instead of initializing info.pointer here,
10814 (splitline): ... here.
10815 (testmandirs): Shuffle whatis logic some more, to make sure pages
10816 that really are in the filesystem don't end up as WHATIS_MAN. This
10817 reverts part of the change of 26 May 2001.
10819 * man/man8/mandb.man8: Document the expected format of NAME sections
10820 for whatis parsing, and some common reasons why parsing fails.
10822 Tue Jun 12 22:20:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10824 * docs/NEWS: More 2.3.19 stuff.
10826 Sun Jun 10 14:05:10 BST 2001 Gordon Sadler <gbsadler1@lcisp.com>
10828 * man/man1/manpath.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Replace 'semicolon' with
10829 'colon' throughout.
10831 Sun Jun 10 13:59:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10833 * src/manp.c (pathappend): Fix infinite loop when adding a manpath
10834 entry which is a substring of an existing entry.
10836 Sun Jun 10 13:49:02 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10838 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Treat EROFS like EACCES while
10839 opening a database read-write (i.e. only print debug messages).
10840 (create_db): Likewise.
10841 src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Likewise.
10842 (try_db_section): Likewise.
10844 * src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Carry on gracefully rather than
10845 exiting if a straycat filter fails.
10847 * src/manp.c (pathappend): Remove duplicate entries.
10849 * src/lexgrog.l: Allow .LP, .PP, and .P as well as .br between
10850 whatis definitions.
10852 Sat Jun 2 14:34:59 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10854 * configure.in: Give our English man pages the same date format as
10857 * src/straycats.c: Use 'col -bx' rather than 'col-bx'.
10859 Mon May 28 14:56:35 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10861 * include/manconfig.h.in: Since it isn't sensible to define debug
10862 (-d options at run-time do just as well), remove the commented
10864 * include/manconfig.h.in, src/catman.c, src/check_mandirs.c,
10865 src/compression.c, src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/manpath.c,
10866 src/whatis.c: Remove instances of '#ifndef debug'.
10867 * src/util.c: debug is already declared extern in manconfig.h.
10869 Mon May 28 14:30:38 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10871 * tools/README: Describe chconfig and install-manpage.
10872 * man/man5/manpath.man5, docs/ToDo: Document the DEFINE directive.
10874 * libdb/db_delete.c, libdb/db_lookup.c, libdb/db_store.c,
10875 src/whatis.c: Remove redundant strtok() declaration.
10876 * src/check_mandirs.c: Declare strpbrk().
10878 * src/*: Global style cleanup. Sorry about the large diff, but it
10879 had to happen sometime: I can't stick with the prevailing coding
10880 style when there are several to choose from! No meaningful code
10881 change, although I disentangled a few assignments from if
10882 conditions and rearranged a few other sections.
10883 * po/*: Update accordingly.
10885 Sun May 27 18:32:41 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10887 * acinclude.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): New macro to check for Berkeley DB.
10888 * configure.in: Use it.
10890 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Be more accurate about finding
10891 the " - " at the end of a series of whatis names, and make sure to
10892 skip commas between them. Add more commentary.
10894 * src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Return NULL if the cat page is
10895 unwriteable, rather than wasting time compressing to /dev/null.
10896 (format_display_and_save): Give up if both outing and saving
10899 Sun May 27 18:00:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10901 * docs/NEWS: Preliminary entries for 2.3.19. Add current version
10902 number throughout as well as just "Major changes since ...".
10903 * manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): mandb doesn't necessarily
10904 have to be rerun any more, as the filesystem will be checked if
10905 the database doesn't return anything. man and mandb can be built
10906 for setuid operation but installed non-setuid now.
10908 Sat May 26 15:33:37 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10910 * manual/README: Note that HTML output is disabled by default. I
10911 don't currently provide a pre-built PostScript manual anywhere.
10912 * manual/misc.me (Credits): Add Fabrizio.
10913 * manual/*: FHS updates. Various boring typo/syntax/whitespace
10916 Sat May 26 15:14:29 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10918 * GNUmakefile.in, autogen.sh: Put 'timestamp' in stamp-h and
10919 stamp-h.in rather than the date.
10921 * src/man.c (open_cat_stream): Open the cat file before forking in
10922 order to deal with errors better. Open to /dev/null without
10923 complaining if the cat file is unwriteable.
10924 (close_cat_stream): Only commit the temporary cat if it was
10926 (locate_page): Fall back to the filesystem if nothing was found in
10927 the database (since it might be out of date).
10929 * src/man.c (try_db_section): If the database can't be opened
10930 read-write due to EACCES, only print a message in debug mode.
10931 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Likewise.
10932 (create_db): Likewise.
10934 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Make sure separate whatis keys
10935 each get their own whatis entry.
10937 Wed May 23 17:06:31 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10939 * configure.in: Fix PACKAGE and VERSION substitutions.
10941 Wed May 23 15:51:06 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10943 * configure.in: Updates for autoconf 2.50.
10944 (AC_PREREQ): Require version 2.1.2.
10945 (AC_INIT): Avoid deprecated use with one argument.
10946 (man_ac_version): Don't work out the autoconf version any more;
10947 inline syntax is all that needed it, and any autoconf since 2.1.2
10949 (AC_STDC_HEADERS): Now AC_HEADER_STDC.
10950 (AC_LINK_FILES): No longer needed with newer gettext.
10951 (AC_OUTPUT): Avoid deprecated use with arguments.
10952 Fix instances of underquoting throughout, as the new autoconf is
10953 less tolerant of this.
10954 * include/manconfig.h.in: Remove compatibility code for pre-1995
10957 Thu May 17 19:11:37 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10959 * src/man_db.conf.in: Improve documentation of MANDB_MAP.
10961 Wed May 16 00:09:13 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10963 * tools/config.sub: Update to today's CVS.
10965 Wed May 16 00:07:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10967 * A number of minor fixes from SuSE's diff:
10969 * GNUmakefile.in: Don't prepend ../ to prefix before passing it to
10971 * lib/cleanup.c: HUP and TERM signal handling was mistakenly acting
10973 * src/lexgrog.l: Replace a few instances of " \t\n" with
10975 * src/man.c: Drop privileges before changing back to the original
10976 directory just before exiting (only matters for profiling).
10977 * src/util.c: Undefine MAX before redefining it.
10978 * po/POTFILES.in: Read src/lexgrog.c rather than src/lexgrog.l
10979 (gettext understands C better than lex).
10980 * po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po: Remove a few stray '\r's.
10982 * I'll look at the zlib bits of the patch soon. From a preliminary
10983 look I'll probably end up rewriting it - I'd prefer more of the
10984 compression stuff actually to go in src/compression.c.
10986 Tue May 15 22:01:59 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10988 * src/man.c (get_section_list): Return std_sections if argument to
10989 -S was an empty string or if that or $MANSECT contained only
10990 colons. Previously, man would behave wrongly in the former case
10991 and segfault in the latter. Also remove a redundant xstrdup().
10993 Mon May 14 23:46:25 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
10997 * README: Add contact details.
10999 * libdb/stamp-h: Removed.
11000 * GNUmakefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in: Updated accordingly.
11002 * src/man_db.conf.in: FHS 2.1 has /usr/local/share/man as the
11003 location of locally installed man pages rather than
11004 /usr/local/man. Accordingly, the MANDB_MAP for /usr/local/man is
11005 now /var/cache/man/oldlocal, and /usr/local/share/man takes over
11006 /var/cache/man/local.
11008 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update
11011 Mon May 14 22:18:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11013 * src/security.c: Count how many times drop_effective_privs() has
11014 been called, and don't actually regain privileges until
11015 regain_effective_privs() has been called an equal number of times.
11016 This should flush out several subtle bugs.
11018 * src/mandb.c: Call manpath() rather than read_config_file() (this
11019 was changed while merging 2.3b12). Otherwise 'mandb --user-db'
11020 segfaults as manp never gets set.
11022 Sun May 13 18:34:33 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11024 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Don't install po/Makefile.in.
11026 * src/stamp-h: Removed.
11027 * GNUmakefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Updated accordingly.
11029 * GNUmakefile.in (distclean): Don't clean configure, src/lexgrog.c,
11031 (realclean): Clean configure here instead. realclean targets in
11032 subdirs already remove the other two.
11033 * zsoelim/Makefile.in (clean): Let realclean remove zsoelim.c.
11035 Sun May 13 17:17:32 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11037 * man/Makefile.in: Another try to get NLS installation working
11038 properly. The last change was wrong when LINGUAS was unset.
11040 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Install docs/manpage.example.
11042 Sun May 13 16:54:01 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11044 * man/Makefile.in: Exclude NLS directories without man pages, as CVS
11045 can't delete directories quite as fully as I'd like.
11047 * configure.in: No subdirectory Makefiles need ALL_LINGUAS any more.
11049 * manual/Makefile: Make the location of soelim variable so that
11050 distributions can e.g. use the version in the build directory.
11052 * manual/Makefile, manual/README: Add an HTML target. Disabled by
11053 default as groff's HTML driver doesn't produce very good output
11056 * include/Defines.in: Only remove /usr from the default sysconfdir
11057 if the prefix is exactly /usr, not something that happens to
11058 contain /usr (like the default /usr/local).
11060 Sun May 13 13:39:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11062 * man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Mention move to SourceForge and the new
11063 URLs for the Debian package pool.
11065 * man-db.gnu: New architectures (successful Debian ports as of
11066 today). New mailing list for announcements.
11068 Sun May 13 13:18:56 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11070 * README: Document FHS changes; correct pointer to
11071 docs/INSTALL.autoconf.
11073 * docs/INSTALL.autoconf: Update to instructions from automake 1.4.
11075 * docs/COPYING: Minor fixes from GNU (FSF address, Y2K).
11077 Sun May 13 13:00:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11079 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Add include/sections.list.
11081 * GNUmakefile.in, man/Makefile.in: Cause USE_NLS to be substituted
11082 properly from configure.
11084 * include/Defines.in: Remove some old gencat definitions.
11086 * docs/NEWS: Update in preparation for 2.3.18 release. Correct a few
11087 it's -> its typos in earlier entries.
11089 Sun May 13 02:18:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11091 * autogen.sh: Create stamp-h.in.
11093 * po/cs.po, po/de.po, po/es.po, po/fr.po, po/it.po, po/ja.po: Update
11096 Sun May 13 02:03:05 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11098 * docs/ToDo: Most of Wilf's beta code is in now; mention SuSE.
11100 Sun May 13 01:22:29 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11102 * docs/manpage.example: New file.
11104 Sun May 13 01:19:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11106 * include/manconfig.h.in: Bump database version from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2.
11107 * libdb/db_ver.c (dbver_wr): Reformat.
11108 (dbver_rd): Downgrade warnings about wrong version numbers to
11109 debugging messages.
11110 * libdb/db_lookup.c (split_data): Fix fencepost error that would
11111 overlook a missing whatis field.
11113 * src/man.c (try_db_section): Display warning if whatis refs are
11114 relied upon to find a page.
11115 * libdb/db_storage.h: Note that WHATIS_MAN and WHATIS_CAT are
11118 * src/accessdb.c (main): Give FHS_CAT_ROOT priority over CAT_ROOT.
11119 * man/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Document this.
11120 * man/de_DE.85591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise.
11121 * man/de_DE.ascii/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise.
11122 * man/es_ES.88591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Likewise.
11123 * man/it_IT.88591/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIZIONE): Likewise.
11125 * src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs): Tidy up database opening code.
11127 * src/mandb.c (mandb): Don't create a new database if opt_test is
11129 (main): If opt_test is set, just delete the temporary database
11130 rather than moving it into place.
11131 * man/man8/mandb.man8 (OPTIONS): Document --test.
11132 (FILES): Document FHS compliant database locations.
11133 (AUTHOR): Add myself.
11135 * src/ult_src.c (ult_softlink): Remove overly-cautious check for
11136 non-local symlinks in mantrees.
11138 * src/whatis.c (apropos): Remove a now redundant test that cont.dptr
11141 Sun May 13 01:00:47 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11143 * src/whatis.c (apropos): Complain and exit if a data pointer is
11144 NULL. For this, locally undefine BTREE to avoid using optimized
11145 functions, as they don't appear to provide enough error checking
11148 Fri May 4 03:59:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11150 * configure.in: Change PACKAGE from man-db to man_db.
11152 * po/*.po: Update with msgmerge.
11154 * release.sh: New file (quick release script).
11156 Fri May 4 03:44:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11158 * acconfig.h: Remove Debian-specific entries.
11160 * aclocal.m4: Remove, as it's another autogenerated file.
11162 * autogen.sh: New file (very simple for now).
11164 Fri May 4 03:34:54 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11166 * GNUmakefile.in (dist): Update set of installed files somewhat. No
11167 need to build man_db-nls.h any more.
11169 * man/Makefile.in: Declare ALL_LINGUAS and LINGUAS.
11171 * src/man.sh: Remove (obsoleted by src/wrapper.c).
11173 Fri May 4 02:56:30 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11175 * README: Update for new NLS configuration methods. Reflect renaming
11176 of configuration file from man_db.config to man_db.conf.
11178 Fri May 4 00:18:23 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11180 * stamp-h.in: Remove (generated by GNUmakefile).
11182 Fri May 4 00:17:50 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11184 * GNUmakefile.in, configure.in, include/Defines.in,
11185 libdb/Makefile.in, libdb/db_delete.c, libdb/db_lookup.c,
11186 libdb/db_store.c, libdb/db_ver.c, man/Makefile.in,
11187 src/Makefile.in, src/lexgrog.l-2.3.8, src/lexgrog.l-2.4a,
11188 src/wrapper.c: Dispose of all the old catgets stuff. Replace with
11189 gettext idioms where appropriate.
11191 * libdb/man_db-nls.h, src/man_db-nls.h: Remove (obsolete with
11194 * include/config.h.in: Remove (generated by autoheader).
11196 Thu May 3 01:17:08 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11198 * GNUmakefile.in: Strip .po from language names; fix it's -> its
11201 * configure.in: Stop trying to guess the package name and version
11202 number from the current directory name.
11204 Wed May 2 18:38:49 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11206 * src/manp.c: Remove #include of security.h (now merged elsewhere).
11207 (pathappend): Constify second argument.
11208 (mkcatdirs): Eliminate DIRLIST; now takes mandir and catdir as
11210 (add_2_dirlist): Rename to add_to_dirlist(); return void, and
11211 otherwise eliminate use of DIRLIST. As mentioned below, we now use
11212 a linked list instead.
11213 (read_config_file): Update accordingly.
11215 * src/security.c: *uid no longer static for now, as other objects
11217 * src/man.c: Declare ruid and euid extern here now that security.h
11220 * src/check_mandirs.c (update_db): Close dbf rather than database.
11222 Wed May 2 17:27:22 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11224 * acinclude.m4: New file. Restore definitions inadvertently removed
11225 from aclocal.m4 a few changes ago.
11226 * aclocal.m4: Update accordingly with 'aclocal'.
11228 * config.guess, config.sub: Move to tools directory.
11230 * configure.in: Move gettext macros below AC_PROG_CC etc.
11232 * configure.in: Remove Debian-specific code; build dependencies

11253 Wed May 2 16:15:00 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11255 * po/POTFILES.in: Added src/accessdb.c and src/wrapper.c.
11257 Wed May 2 15:53:45 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11259 * ABOUT-NLS, aclocal.m4, intl/*, po/ChangeLog, po/Makefile.in.in:
11260 Update to gettext 0.10.37 (from 0.10.32). Various additions and
11263 * GNUmakefile.in, libdb/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in: Remove old
11264 gencat/xcat targets.
11266 Wed May 2 01:33:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11268 * src/mandb.c (main): Initialize security properly, since we may be
11269 setuid, and drop privileges when creating temporary databases in
11270 user-supplied hierarchies. Thanks to Ethan Benson for reporting
11271 this vulnerability.
11273 * man-db.gnu, man-db.lsm: Add myself as a developer; change
11276 * libdb/db_lookup.c, src/man.c: Cosmetic fixes.
11277 * src/accessdb.c (usage): Remove spurious space in output.
11279 Wed May 2 01:02:19 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11281 * Merging in changes from Wilf's 2.3b12 beta release.
11282 * docs/ChangeLog: Folded in changelog comments.
11284 * GNUmakefile.in, configure.in: Build configuration file.
11285 * */Makefile.in: Rearrange code for CPPFLAGS and similar.
11287 * configure.in: Look for grep, seteuid(), setresuid().
11288 * include/config.h.in: Add HAVE_SETEUID and HAVE_SETRESUID.
11289 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add GREP and various grep flags.
11290 * src/whatis.c: Use GREP rather than "grep".
11292 * src/man_db.config: Renamed to src/man_db.conf.in.
11293 * src/man_db.conf.in: Add commented out DEFINE directives.
11294 * docs/ToDo: Need to document DEFINE directive. (Also, I (cjwatson)
11295 checked in two other todo items by mistake earlier: inline
11296 pipelines and merging work done by Wilf and Andries.)
11297 * include/Defines.in: CPPFLAGS tweaks; rename config file; %.i rule.
11298 * include/comp_src.h.in: paths.h -> ./manconfig.h.
11300 * src/security.c, src/man.c: Rewrite seteuid() handling; remove
11301 special "running as root" case.
11302 * src/security.h: Remove; combine previous contents with security.c.
11303 * src/man_db-nls.h: No longer need man_CHOWN.
11304 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add init_security() prototype.
11306 * src/manp.c: Major rewrite. Replace static storage with linked
11307 list. Improve configuration file handling, replacing get_dirlist()
11308 with read_config_file(). Move some of the more deeply nested bits
11309 of read_config_file() into separate functions like
11310 add_mandb_map(). (cjwatson: This won't compile yet. Fabrizio also
11311 hacked on this heavily, including splitting part of get_dirlist()
11312 out into add_2_dirlist() and adding mkcatdirs(). I've merged these
11313 as best I can for now, but it's still unfinished.)
11314 * src/manp.h: Remove get_dirlist() prototype, add prototypes for
11315 read_config_file() and get_def().
11316 * src/man.c, src/mandb.c, src/straycats.c, src/whatis.c: Use new
11317 get_defs() functions to pull paths from config file rather than
11320 Fri Apr 27 22:39:34 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11322 * Merging in changes from Wilf's 2.3.11 release.
11323 * docs/ChangeLog, docs/NEWS: Folded in changelog comments.
11325 * GNUmakefile.in: Added deroff and manual targets.
11326 * README: Added comment about manual; added notes on configure
11328 * configure.in: Minor improvement for non-GNU makes.
11330 * src/lexgrog.l, src/lexgrog.l-2.4a: Allow comments other than at
11331 the beginning of a line.
11333 * src/manp.c: Replace has_subdirs() with has_mandir(): for $PATH
11334 components not in config, check for ../man as well as man subdirs.
11336 * zsoelim/zsoelim.l: Use #defines for exit codes.
11338 * GNUmakefile.in, README, docs/INSTALL.quick, src/man.c: Cosmetic
11339 rearrangements (whitespace, typos, etc.).
11341 Fri Apr 27 21:36:11 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11343 * manual/*: Add the source code for the man_db manual from Wilf's
11346 Fri Apr 27 18:33:17 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11348 * src/accessdb.c (main): Close the database and set dbf to NULL if

11358 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add GRAP_FILTER and VGRIND_FILTER to
11361 Fri Apr 27 18:00:04 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

11374 * ja_JP.ujis/man1/man.man1: Likewise.
11375 * ja_JP.ujis/man1/manpath.man1: Likewise.

11383 Tue Apr 17 15:23:30 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11385 * End of the Great CVS Sync.
11386 * Debian release 2.3.17.1-3.
11388 * src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Return an error when ult_softlink()
11391 * src/man.c: Use latin1 character set for C and POSIX locales.
11393 * po/ja.po: Update Japanese translation.
11394 * man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/apropos.man1: New file, updating Japanese
11395 translation in new character set.
11396 * man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/man.man1: Likewise.

11403 * man/ja_JP.eucJP/man8/mandb.man8: Likewise.
11405 * man/THANKS: Updated (new Japanese eucJP translation).
11407 * src/man.c (main): Support LC_MESSAGES being set differently from
11408 other locale categories (internal_locale).
11410 * src/man.c (main): Multiple locale preferences can be set with
11413 * src/version.c (ver): Remove previous maintainer address.
11415 * configure.in: Find version number correctly.
11417 Sun Apr 1 14:37:28 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11419 * Debian release 2.3.17.1-2.
11421 * src/whatis.c (main): Disable regex searches if -w (wildcard)
11424 * docs/ToDo: Using zlib rather than gzip would be good.
11426 Sat Mar 31 18:07:46 BST 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11428 * Debian release 2.3.17.1-1.
11430 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Check if the result of symlink
11431 and hard link resolution is in the cache before looking for .so
11432 links. This provides a substantial speedup when many symlinks
11433 exist in the mantree.
11435 * src/catman.c (main): Initialize full locale by calling setlocale()
11436 with LC_ALL rather than LC_MESSAGES (GOTO Masanori). Remove manual
11437 getenv() calls accordingly.

11439 * src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
11440 * src/manpath.c (main): Likewise.
11441 * src/whatis.c (main): Likewise.
11443 * include/manconfig.h.in: Add 3perl to section names, following 3pm;
11444 Debian is using this to allow other packages to shadow pages from
11445 core Perl packages.
11447 Wed Feb 28 21:02:41 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11449 * Debian release 2.3.17-3.2.
11451 * configure.in: More fixes for Debian troff and /dev/null input
11452 files. This restores detection of -mandoc macros.
11454 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Typo: "It's" -> "Its".
11455 * man/man1/zsoelim.man1 (OPTIONS): Likewise.
11457 * man/man1/man.man1 (OPTIONS): Mention that argument to -M must be
11458 the root of a mantree.
11459 (SEE ALSO): Add reference to man-db manual to explain the above.
11461 Wed Feb 21 00:54:47 GMT 2001 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
11463 * Debian release 2.3.17-3.1.
11465 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): Fix format string vulnerability in
11466 printing of error message.
11468 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Fix segfault if whatis reference is
11471 * src/man.c (local_man_loop): chdir() to original working directory
11472 so that 'man -l' works again on relative paths to compressed
11475 * src/compression.c (decompress): free() file if the decompressor
11476 failed so that atexit() doesn't try to remove it again.
11478 * src/mandb.c (main): Reverse sense of -s option to agree with the
11481 * configure.in: Work around change in the behaviour of Debian nroff,
11482 which no longer accepts /dev/null as an input file.
11484 * GNUmakefile.in: Restore full clean rules.
11486 Fri Apr 7 10:50:45 EET 2000 fab (fpolacco@debian.org)
11488 * Checked in by Colin Watson during SourceForge CVS sync.
11490 * Upstream changes from Debian changelog (2.3.17-2):
11491 - Commented away call to distclean_root in GNUmakefile: need to
11492 leave the Makefile and configure in the tarball.
11493 - Found and fixed subtle bug which made wrapper uselessly linked
11494 with -ldb2. When invoked by root on a system which enables
11495 group.db, then the call to initgroups() segfaults due to the
11496 libc link to libdb!
11498 * Other changes not mentioned in Debian changelog:
11499 - man-db.gnu: Update date and prerequisites (libdb2 becomes weak
11501 - man-db.lsm: New file.
11502 - src/lexgrog.l: Cosmetic changes.
11503 - src/wrapper.c: Add debugging code.
11505 Fri Apr 7 10:50:45 EET 2000 fab (fpolacco@debian.org)
11507 * Checked in by Colin Watson during SourceForge CVS sync.
11509 * Upstream changes from Debian changelog:
11510 - Corrected apparent disappearing of option -e in apropos.
11511 - Corrected wrong usage of undocumented option -X which produced
11512 error when passed to filters. This is now parametrized as
11513 optional argument, defaulting to use devX75. Documented in
11514 usage : -X = -TX75, -X100 = -TX100, -X100-12 = -TX100-12.
11515 - Applyed patch submitted by Tomohiro KUBOTA:
11516 - roff_device and LESSCHARSET are determined by user environment
11517 rather than language of manpage for English manpage.
11518 - roff_device "ascii8" is used for non-English/non-ISO-8859-1
11520 - Added new check for libdb in configure.in
11521 - Added /usr/local/{share/}man to config file, due to bug in FHS,
11522 thanx to Gregor Hoffleit.
11523 - Added new message catalog po file for cs (czech) (4 new
11524 messages), thanx to Vladimir Michl.
11525 - tired of people continously complaining that man behaves
11526 differently than in RedHat (which is "The Reference Linux", you
11527 all know that), I'll add tbl as default filter for man. This
11528 will fix those three or four manpages that do not take the
11529 burden to declare their dependency on the tbl formatter (usually
11530 because upstream uses RedHat and so ...). Now what would I do if
11531 someone fill a bug against this because of wasting of CPU cicles
11532 for un-necessary filtering on the hundreds of pages that do not
11533 need tbl? I would certainly agree with them. Therefore I will
11534 fix this introducing scanning of manpages a la grog in mandb,
11535 and storing the result in the database. ...[noise of hacking
11536 and debugging]... Well, I did it (use accessdb to see it!). It
11537 took 4 weekend (stolen to the implementation of man 2.4) to
11538 complete and debug. Now you can announce the world that man-db
11539 2.3.17 knows in advance which filters to run when processing a
11540 manpage which is in the database.

11839 * src/whatis.c (display): add free(string)
11841 * src/whatis.c, src/Makefile.in: produce separate object files for
11842 apropos and whatis so that the programs know which one they are
11843 regardless of actual program-filename.

11846 ./configure or make to the standard $(CPPFLAGS) variable.
11847 Allows configuring with unusual #include directories, eg.
11848 CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/src/gdbm LDFLAGS=-L/usr/src/gdbm ./configure
11850 * configure.in (--with-db=LIBRARY): override the default database
11851 interface library on systems having a choice. Options={db,gdbm,ndbm}
11853 * configure.in: Re: sec 5.6 of the autoconf manual, replace
11854 (if test a=b -o a=c) with

11879 replaces ac_version and is more robust
11880 * configure.in, aclocal.m4: rename non-autoconf macros so that
11881 future versions of autoconf won't clash
11883 * gencat/gencat.c, gencat/genlib.c: tidy up header includes and
11884 remove unused variable definitions
11886 * configure.in: check for gencat
11888 Mon Mar 27 12:51:47 BST 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)

11894 Thu Mar 23 18:09:46 GMT 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
11896 * src/man.c: man will only _create_ user db's if
11897 MAN_DB_CREATES is #defined (It is not defined by default)
11899 * add ability to install programs/man pages with transformed names.
11900 ie --program-prefix=PREFIX,
11901 --program-suffix=SUFFIX and
11902 --program-transform-name=EXP
11903 arguments to configure are now observed.
11905 * src/man.c (try_db): store an info->addr==NULL entry in the
11906 hashtable if we fail to access this db. Only try to open the
11907 db once. If the db access succeeds, but the lookup fails to find
11908 anything, store info==NULL in the hashtable.
11910 * libdb/db_ver.c (dbver_rd): don't die if wrong version. Issue a
11911 message, return 1 and let the caller decide what to do.
11913 Mon Mar 20 16:13:23 GMT 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
11915 * src/whatis.c (get_whatis): new. Use the pointer member of mandata
11916 structure to access the whatis string.
11917 (display): modify to use get_whatis().
11919 * src/checkmandirs.c (splitline): don't store whatis referenced
11920 `whatis' lines in the db.
11922 * libdb/db_lookup.c (make_content): store a NULL whatis as "" rather
11925 Sun Mar 19 16:37:58 GMT 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
11927 * src/lexgrog.l: wipe out roff comment lines (again).
11929 * src/whatis.c: use BSD style regex if POSIX unavailable. Ignore
11930 --regex if neither available. Fix failed-regex-compilation error
11933 * lib/regex.c, lib/regex.h: remove
11935 * configure.in: account for regex changes.
11937 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): don't barf on delete request of a
11938 multi-key that is not listed in the main key, return NO_ENTRY.
11940 * src/man.c (try_section): don't try to delete db entry for missing
11941 straycat. Return 0 and leave that to the caller.
11943 Sat Mar 18 12:31:48 GMT 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
11945 * Replaced strncasecmp() calls with strncmp(). Removed partial

11952 * All Makefile.in, include/Defines.in, include/manconfig.h.in:
11953 use standard (GNU coding) installation variables:
11954 bindir, sysconfdir, man?ext, man?dir, localedir, manroot.
11955 These variables, along with prefix and exec_prefix may be specified
11956 on the `make' command line.
11958 * configure.in: move definition of BINDIR and config_prefix to
11959 include/Defines.in to allow dynamic evaluation. Rename config_prefix
11962 * libdb/db_lookup.c (list_extensions): fix return count.
11964 * libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): take account of situation
11965 where there were multiple name entries and they are subsequently
11966 deleted. When deleting the last one (which still has a multi-key
11967 entry), delete the standard key too, rather than recomputing it's
11968 content (which would be nothing and cause a "corrupt db" message).
11970 Fri Mar 17 23:36:44 GMT 1995 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
11972 * src/man.c (glob_for_file, make_names): remove
11973 src/globbing.c: new file
11974 lib/glob.c, lib/glob.h, lib/fnmatch.c, lib/fnmatch.h: replacements
11975 from GNU glob.tar.gz
11976 configure.in: glob changes.
11977 Use POSIX glob replacement.
11978 Allow --extension to be used in globbing environment. Don't search
11979 for cats in alternate cat directory if no index.
11981 * All Makefile.in: add standard (GNU coding) targets: all, clean,
11982 mostlyclean, distclean, realclean, install, uninstall, TAGS, dist
11983 Other configuration/goal modifications
11985 * Makefile.in: force config.status to do selective re-creation
11987 * src/zsoelim.l: cater for ".SH \f?NAME\f?"
11989 * acconfig.m4 (AC_FUNC_PCLOSE), src/man.c (display): small changes
11992 * Makefile.in, README: change `make all' to equal `make nls=off'
11993 rather than `make nls=all'
11995 * include/Defines.in: move -DDEFAULT_MANROFFSEQ to
11996 include/manconfig.h
11998 * include/manconfig.h: change inline parsing. Use autoconf-2.2

12016 * src/lexgrog.l: modifications to whatis parser, mainly for
12019 * src/man.c (main): add drop_effective_privs() and
12020 regain_effective_privs() around manpath configuration so that
12021 users' `hidden' manpaths are found and used.
12023 * substantial configuration changes regarding all Makefiles to
12024 allow `alternate build directory' support. man_db may be built
12025 in *any* directory. Aids multi-architecture builds and testing
12026 of various configuration options.
12028 * rationalised source files to #include "local_header" and
12029 #include <system_header>. CPPFLAGS uses -I- to limit -I paths
12030 to "" resolving only. Other alternate build directory mods.
12032 * src/comp_src.h.in: moved to ./comp_src.h.in
12033 src/manconfig.h, src/path.h.in: combined into ./manconfig.h.in
12035 * *ensure* that lib/{regex,fnmatch,getopt}.h are only #included
12036 if the replacement c source is used. Otherwise use system routines
12037 and system headers.
12039 * ./configure.in, acconfig.h, aclocal.m4 (AC_FUNC_PCLOSE,
12040 BROKEN_PCLOSE): new autoconf macro
12042 * gencat is not installed by default. (cd gencat && make install)
12044 * tools/mkcatdirs: re-written
12045 tools/checkman: new utility to check for duplicate manual pages
12046 across manual page hierarchies.

12367 src/man.c (make_cat_file): replace execle() with execve().
12369 * src/catman.c: added ARG_MAX support and use execve() instead of
12370 system(). This should now behave on systems with small execve()
12371 argument capacity by batching more, but smaller, man jobs.
12373 * Makefile: `make all' now equates to `make nls=all'
12375 Thu Dec 8 00:03:12 GMT 1994 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)

12395 provide file locking mechanism for ndbm.
12396 src/db_storage.c (btree_trunc_flopen): renamed (btree_trunc_open),
12397 add mode argument to open() call.
12399 * src/db_storage.c (make_content): add `static' to declaration of
12402 * src/man.c (try_db_section): ensure db found file entry is
12403 consistent with the physical file, if not, update the db entry
12404 before proceeding. Cache consistency should be getting much better
12405 in a wide variety of circumstances now. This check is not performed
12408 Tue Dec 6 12:05:57 GMT 1994 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)

12412 * aclocal.m4, configure.in (AC_PROG_GNU_ROFF): test for GNU nroff
12413 src/man.c: Do not use col with GNU nroff -Tlatin1 as (a) it is not
12414 needed: see grotty(1) and (b) it is not 8 bit clean. continuation
12415 dashes should now reappear.
12417 Wed Nov 23 16:49:48 GMT 1994 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
12419 * src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Provide better checking for
12420 the existence of both foo.1 and foo.1.gz type problems. This should
12421 catch any problems earlier and relieve the db interface code of the
12422 job of identifying such problems.
12424 * src/man.c (manopt_to_env): cater for $MANOPT option arguments
12425 that contain spaces (for -r).
12426 src/man.c (man_getopt): revise, change duplicate option behaviour,
12427 modify -[tTZ] handling and add option -D.
12428 src/man/man1/man.man1: document.
12430 * src/man.c: create LESS_OPTS and LESS_PROMPT and move their
12431 definitions to src/paths.h[.in].
12433 * configure.in: append -s by default to whatever pager is found.
12434 favour db.h and -ldb above gdbm.h and -lgdbm.
12436 db creates index.bt
12437 gdbm creates index.db
12438 ndbm creates index.dir and index.pag
12440 Wed Nov 23 16:46:59 GMT 1994 Zoltan Hidvegi (hzoli@cs.elte.hu)
12442 * src/man.c: changes relating to (less_options) and (prompt). Add

12451 * src/mydbm.h, src/db_storage.c: incorporate completely new
12452 database type: a binary tree method using the Berkeley db-1.85.1
12453 library. Currently experimental and is not used by default, it has
12454 the potential of enhanced speed and easy maintenance as it allows
12455 storage of identical keys, thus reducing the amount of work necessary
12456 to store and lookup multi sectional manual pages such as manpath.1
12457 and manpath.5. During initial tests, the `walk through' algorithm,
12458 used in apropos searches was 65% faster and the general database
12459 open function is 100% faster when compared with gdbm-1.7.3.
12461 * src/whatis.c (apropos): #define-optimised for btree database type.
12463 * src/convert_name.c (convert_name): reorder actions to stop certain

12490 `required_argument' in (long_options).
12492 * src/man.c, src/compression.c, src/straycats.c: ensure that a
12493 failed child process is recognised and dealt with (normally exit(0)).
12495 * src/man.c (make_cat_file): removed need to filter-then-copy if not
12498 * src/man.c, src/mandb.c (main): optional profiling support if
12499 __profile__ defined.
12501 * configure.in (config_file, config_prefix): don't work unless
12502 --prefix=<something> is a command line option, temporarily setting
12503 them to /etc/man_db.config and /etc respectively.
12505 Wed Nov 16 20:34:54 GMT 1994 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
12509 * src/man.c (format_and_display_file): Fix bug which caused
12510 `man -l -' to fail. Produce sensible error message when -l file
12511 is inaccessable. Allow compressed manual pages to be specified when
12512 using -l (must have correct extension)
12514 * soelim/soelim.l (main): ensure (progname) is the basename of
12517 * src/manpath.c (main): remove local declaration of (quiet).
12518 add `--global' option.
12520 Wed Nov 16 20:29:20 GMT 1994 Markus Armbruster (armbru@pond.sub.org)

12547 (union) member with (void *) and simplified. Modified users.
12549 * src/man.c (make_cat_file): fixed NULL ptr reference in call to
12551 src/man.c: determined and fixed memory leaks using Checker.
12553 Mon Nov 14 03:33:37 GMT 1994 Wilf. (G.Wilford@ee.surrey.ac.uk)
