Summary: mdoc: handle OpenBSD-style $Mdocdate CVS keyword Project: GNU troff Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tue 12 Aug 2014 02:46:10 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: in OpenBSD, we are using CVS keyword substitution to automatically update the manual page date when committing to the manual page - updating the date was too often forgotten before this was implemented, and typos crept into the dates as well. It looks like this: .Dd $Mdocdate: March 5 2011 $ .Dt CAT 1 .Os To make groff handle that, i'm using the following patch. Maybe you want to include it upstream? It costs very little, and it helps people who want to read OpenBSD manuals on other operating systems. _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue 12 Aug 2014 02:46:10 PM UTC Name: Mdocdate.patch Size: 610B By: None patch to tmac/doc-common <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=31889> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42968> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ bug-groff mailing list bug-groff@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
