Can somebody please remove my previous version man-1.5m2-1 from the
distribution. Some users posted problems with ESC output sequences.
Although this version is not the latest version available on the net
it incorporates a couple of patches from the Red Hat people (see below).
I would also mark this version as test release and let Christophers version
be the latest stable version for a while.
The following is from the package README:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrade to the latest version man-1.5k-12.src.rpm found at
o http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/
This version includes almost all of the fixes found in the above rpm
archive. Some of them are not relevant for cygwin.
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.

Cygwin specific changes:
========================
o added m and 8c to the default man sections list, cygwin has man pages
in directories /usr/share/man/man8c and /usr/X11R6/man/manm
o fixed italian man page
o added /usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/local/man to the default
manpath in makewhatis
o postinstall script adds symlinks from man to manpath for binary and
manpage
Additionally the following things have been changed since the interim
version man-1.5m2-1:
o The following two lines in man.conf
NROFF /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
PAGER /usr/bin/less -isrR
seem to fix the output of ESC sequences
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of
/usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x
into
/var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x.
The keyword FHS in man.conf will cause this behaviour and is now the default.
Explicitly given catdirs override. See comments in the man.conf file.
I would like to ask other package maintainers to remove /usr/.../share/catx
directories from their packages, as man.conf can be edited by the user and
will not be overwritten by the next version of the man package.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao
