  • man-db (2.5.9-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Add debconf translations:

  • man-db (2.5.9-3) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * Use 'dh $@ --options' rather than 'dh --options $@', for
        forward-compatibility with debhelper v8.
      * Avoid assertion if no path elements with manpaths were found (closes:
        #608490).

  • man-db (2.5.9-2) experimental; urgency=low

  • man-db (2.5.9-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release:
        - Fix test failures on some systems.  A change made in 2.5.8 was overly
          sensitive to directory ordering.
    
    man-db (2.5.8-2) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * Build-depend on pkg-config.

  • man-db (2.5.8-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release:
        - Explicitly set groff's hyphenation language, to ensure that it only
          hyphenates languages it knows about (closes: #570247).
        - Add support for XZ-compressed manual pages, thanks to Darren Salt
          (closes: #572233).
        - Try underscore-separated subpages as well as hyphen-separated ones,
          thanks to Tanguy Ortolo (closes: #574641).
        - Build libman and libmandb as shared libraries, considerably reducing
          executable size.
        - Warnings about unrecognised locales are now suppressed if the
          DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION environment variable is set (i.e. man-db is
          running within a Debian package's maintainer script), since the system
          locales are often out of sync with the C library in that context.
          Thanks to the Debian Perl maintainers for the idea.
        - In catman mode, never try to guess whether a page argument is a
          section, as it's too easy to get this wrong (LP: #664211).
        - mandb should no longer repeatedly rescan manual page hierarchies when
          a whatis entry turns into a broken link.
      * Use a separate build directory, eliminating the requirement to preserve
        some files by hand.
      * Build with external libpipeline.

  • man-db (2.5.7-6) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Move po/fr.gmo aside during build so that it gets regenerated based on
        translation-fr.patch, and build-depend directly on gettext for this
        (closes: #598066).
    
    man-db (2.5.7-5) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from hardening-includes, since man and mandb are
        optionally setuid man.
      * Update French translation from Translation Project (thanks, David
        Prévot; closes: #598621).
      * Make sure that man/po4a/po/* are kept unchanged during a
        patch/build/clean cycle.
      * Update French documentation translation from Translation Project
        (thanks, David Prévot; closes: #598066).

  • man-db (2.5.7-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Backport from trunk:
        - Fix a regression introduced in 2.5.7 when running catman in some
          locales, most notably in the C locale: while converting the output to
          UTF-8, iconv was run after the compressor rather than before it
          (closes: #593350, LP: #615045).
