DESCRIPTION: ============ Man, apropos and whatis. CYGWIN NEWS: ============ Please remove the following lines from /usr/share/misc/man.conf or copy /usr/share/misc/man.conf.default to /usr/share/misc/man.conf as these directives are not supported anymore with the latest man: JNROFF LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 /usr/bin/groff -Tnippon -mandocj KNROFF /usr/bin/groff -Tkorean -mandoc JNEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tnippon KNEQN /usr/bin/eqn -Tkorean - Update to latest upstream release - makewhatis -s patch made it upstream - Patch for displaying man pages with :: in their filenames made it upstream - Fixed postinstall script: Added chmod 644 ${datadir}/misc/man.conf - Additions for makewhatis man page - Added -s sections to output for makewhatis -h - Changed reference for man.config to man.conf in various man pages - Problem reported by Hannu E K Nevalainen is fixed See also: o http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg01158.html man NEWS: ========= man-1.5o: - Polish messages, non-dummy codesets (Jakub Bogusz ) - CYGWIN fix for perl manpages (with :: in filename) - Fix for certain awk versions in mansec (NISHIMURA Daisuke) - When asked for a nonexisting page in section 1p, do not also try section 1 man-1.5n: - Added "0p 1p 3p" in sections string - Added mess.??.codeset (with dummy content) - No funny Russian messages - man2html: handle .so with trailing whitespace - replace -grepsilent by >/dev/null 2>/dev/null More details about the individuell bugs can be found under the URL o http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=XXXXX where XXXXX represents the numeric bug id. * Sun Aug 1 2004 Alan Cox - Fix requirements (#126601) * Wed Mar 31 2004 Adrian Havill 1.5m2-6 - reorder MANSECT so that normal pages (with translations) take precedence over the English-only POSIX pages (#119554) * Fri Mar 12 2004 Adrian Havill 1.5m2-4 - direct nroff stderr to /dev/null so no broken pipe err msgs appear when the user quits an error page prior to the full display (#117463) - removed bogus whatis search-n-destroy trigger (#117961) - don't complain about no lang resource when lang is C/POSIX (#108934) * Mon Feb 09 2004 Adrian Havill 1.5m2-2 - add all locale man pages - convert all msgs and manpages to utf-8 - downconvert via transliteration C locale man pages just in case - patch #3, #8, #10, #17, #29, #31 no longer needed-- made it upstream - patch #9, #14 and #19 now superfluous-- strs already termed and len checked - disable patch #22: defer cat creation to existence of dir, not conf directive - patch #32 mostly merged upstream. Keep the "-a" in grep though so all locales' grep see man pages as text not binary (patch 37) - iconv patch no longer needed now that utf-8-to-legacy conversion is not needed - patch #52 and #53 not needed: CJK all point to nroff instead of groff, let the nroff script decide, based on the charset of the environment and/or the charset of the man page, as to what parameters to pass to groff (and whether iconv preprocessing is necessary) - the string "NROFF_OLD_CHARSET", if present in the man.config for the NROFF path, will now be replaced by the old character set so that nroff can figure out what the character set/encoding is - fix man to reflect status codes returned by forked child processes (#115204) - lots of makewhatis changes: re-add custom rh client stuff (/usr/bin vs /usr/sbin), -o option, /var/cache/man, utf-8 verification, convert the encoding spaghetti in the makewhatis awk script to UTF-8, identify languages in comments man-1.5m: - Greek man pages and messages - makewhatis fix INSTALLATION: ============= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
