man-db (2.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Fix an uninitialised variable when sorting manual page candidates that
      could lead to excessive memory allocation and possible crashes
      (thanks, Dustin Marquess; closes: #519647).
    - man(1): Fix missing backslash in -r default (thanks, Will Day; closes:
      #519162).

man-db (2.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Fix handling of pages that declare a non-default encoding in their
      preprocessor lines. Thanks to Hugo Herbelin for some of the ideas here
      (closes: #519095).

man-db (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Exit as soon as possible if database writes return ENOSPC (closes:
      #167159).
    - Make it possible to override man's default of discarding stderr when
      stdout is a terminal (closes: #480996).
    - Reorganise lexgrog to stop on any unrecognised roff request, rather
      than continuing and often littering the database with garbage (closes:
      #271402).
    - Make handling of terminal widths for cat pages configurable (closes:
      #121997).
    - Improve sorting and de-duplication of manual page candidates (closes:
      #389762, #496172).
    - Consider SO_MAN equivalent to ULT_MAN for the purposes of sorting
      candidate pages for display (closes: #384301).
    - Add regular expression and shell wildcard search facilities to man
      (closes: #461319).
    - Add option to disable hyphenation (closes: #166701).
    - Line length is a property of output, not input, so only check whether
      standard output is a terminal, not also standard input (closes:
      #512233).
    - Partially rewrite building of manpath according to locale. The
      previous code was completely wrong: as well as handling duplicates
      rather oddly, it effectively handled LANGUAGE in reverse order
      (closes: #516133).

man-db (2.5.3-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Update manual page search order to permit FHS-compliant installation
      of packages in /opt. Reported by Matt Domsch.

man-db (2.5.3-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Explicitly configure --with-lzma=lzma.
  * Increase versioned dependency on groff-base to (>= 1.18.1.1-15) for a
    working -w option in nroff (closes: #494287).

man-db (2.5.3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Cleaned up a number of possible crashes, memory leaks, and missing
      error checks found by the Coverity Scan project.
    - The LANGUAGE environment variable is now tokenised properly, rather
      than only taking the first two characters of each element.
    - man now correctly propagates the exit code of whatis or apropos when
      called with the -f or -k option respectively (closes: #477305).
    - Fix several manual page synopsis problems (thanks, Yuri Kozlov;
      closes: #480678, #481226, #482424, #482791, #482792, #482810, #483589,
      #483862, #483951).
    - Reduce the number of warnings emitted when using an unrecognised
      locale (closes: #494989).
    - manconv and zsoelim are now called internally rather than by executing
      external programs, to improve performance.
    - Manual pages may now be compressed with LZMA (although this is
      probably only worth it for very large pages).
    - Duplicate manual page hierarchies due to symlinks (e.g. /usr/man ->
      /usr/share/man) are detected and removed from the search order.
    - A locale modifier (e.g. @latin) in a directory name must now match the
      locale if the former is set, in addition to the language and
      territory.
    - Bare .so includes (e.g. ".so foo.1" rather than ".so man1/foo.1") now
      work, although only within the same manual page hierarchy for now
      (partially fixes #503472).
  * Add Homepage field.
  * Policy version 3.8.0: no changes required.
  * Pass CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to configure rather than make so that we don't
    have to keep up with the set of warnings that configure decides to
    enable.

man-db (2.5.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Remove premature optimisation that
      sometimes caused us to write incomplete output.
    - src/encodings.c (add_manconv): Always use manconv even if iconv could
      theoretically do the job, as manconv has slightly more permissive
      behaviour that is generally more suitable for converting manual page
      source (closes: #498082).

 -- Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync <email address hidden>   Wed,  05 Nov 2008 10:40:17 +0000

man-db (2.5.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS parsing code from policy 3.8.0.
  * Skip building the database on buildds (just Ubuntu buildds for now,
    since Debian buildds aren't detectable; see the comment in the postinst
    for more detail).
