Changelog
man-db (2.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Make man(1) refer to the "Warnings" node in 'info groff' for a list of
available warning names (closes: #545805).
- Don't run tests if cross-compiling.
- Add option to disable justification (closes: #440047).
- Do what the user probably means when the full path to an executable is
given as an argument (closes: #505465).
- Search man<sec><ext> directories in the GNU layout (closes: #519807).
- Prefer getting a page from the best manual section over getting a page
in the correct language; I have my reservations about this, but it
seems to be what people are requesting (closes: #519547).
- 'man -f' and 'man -k' now pass through any -s option to apropos/whatis
respectively.
- All programs now support a MAN_DEBUG environment variable which can be
used in place of the -d/--debug option. This is useful in some
situations where a program is being called deep in a process tree.
- Fix off-by-one error when write returns EAGAIN (thanks, Samuel
Thibault; closes: #564818).
- "%s: nothing appropriate." is an error; write it to stderr, not stdout
(closes: #565255).
- Don't bother printing error messages for SIGINT and SIGQUIT, since
these correspond to explicit user actions (closes: #568000).
- Fix sense of directory check while decompressing (closes: #537434).
- Always save cat pages in UTF-8 (closes: #446741).
* Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt).
