- Update from version 2.11.2 to 2.12.0
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
2.12.0
Fixes:
* Fix some manual page portability issues with groff 1.23.0.
* Fix test failures when a working `iconv` is not available.
* Ensure that timestamps read from the database can go past the year 2038,
even on systems where this is not the default.
* Fix `manpath` not parsing `PATH` entries with trailing slash correctly
for guessing `MANPATH` entries.
* More accurately document the behaviour of passing file names as arguments
to `man` without the `-l`/`--local-file` option.
* Avoid duplicate cleanup of old cat pages by both `man-db.service` and
`systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service`.
Improvements:
* Update system call lists in `seccomp` sandbox from `systemd`.
* Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202307`.
* Work around the Firebuild accelerator in `seccomp` sandbox: if this is in
use then we need to allow some socket-related system calls.
* `man -K` now deduplicates search results that point to the same page.
* Warn if `mandb` drops to `--user-db` mode due to running as the wrong
user.
* Change section title recommendations in `man(1)` to mention `STANDARDS`
rather than `CONFORMING TO`, in line with `man-pages(7)`.
* Add a `STANDARDS` section to `man(1)` itself.
* Document that `man -K` may suffer from false negatives as well as false
positives.
* Take advantage of newer `groff` facilities to implement `man
--no-hyphenation` and `man --no-justification`, if available.
* `man -f` and `man -k` now pass any `-r`/`--regex` or `-w`/`--wildcard`
options on to `whatis` and `apropos` respectively.
* Always pass a line length to `nroff`, even if we believe that it matches
the default.
* Allow disabling `groff` warnings via `man --warnings`, by prefixing a
warning name with `!`.

- Changelog
man-db 2.11.2 (8 January 2023)
Fixes:
* Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`.
* Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed.
* Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats.
Improvements:
* Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were
changed.
man-db 2.11.1 (15 November 2022)
Build:
* Transfer Git repository to https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db.
Fixes:
* SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing
`less` prompts.
* Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with
a nonexistent cache directory.
* `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis
references are from a section with higher priority.
Improvements:
* Add section `3type` to the default section list just after `2`. This is
used by the Linux man-pages package.
* Recognize more Hungarian translations of the `NAME` section.
man-db 2.11.0 (15 October 2022)
Fixes:
* `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached
whatis information.
* Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11.
* The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH`
and `MAXCATWIDTH`.
* Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were
entries for the ultimate source of the page. They are now stored with
the correct type.
* Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link
rather than of the ultimate source file.
* Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already
exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching,
and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases.
* `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff`
does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page's preprocessor
string.
* Fix building on MinGW. (I haven't been able to test this; help from
MinGW experts would be welcome.)
Improvements:
* Add more recognized case variants for localized versions of the `NAME`
section.
* Maintain multi keys in sorted order, improving database reproducibility.
* Pick a more consistent name for the target of a whatis entry in the
database.
* Extend rules for when to replace one database entry with another,
producing more stable behaviour.
* Fully reorganize databases after writing them, allowing the reproduction
of bitwise-identical databases regardless of scan order (at least with
GDBM).

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)
