Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.6-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello!
On Mon Jul 13 13:40:17 BST 2009, upstream implemented a subpage lookup, that
is, the ability to display pages such git-add(1) when called “man git add”.
This is very useful for software suites composed of commands with several
sub-commands, such as git. However, some software suites use a different syntax
for their man pages, for instance lh_binary(1).
Here is a patch to look for underscore-separated subpages, in addition to
dash-separated ones.
Regards,

Description:
man-db - on-line manual pager
Closes: 570247 572233 574641 608490 609347
Changes:
man-db (2.5.9-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add debconf translations:
- Slovak (thanks, Slavko; closes: #609347).
* Fix test failure with groff 1.21.
* Upload to unstable.
.
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
.
* Fix build with 'ld --no-copy-dt-needed-entries'.
.
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.
