[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.8-1
New upstream release. Please signoff. Anybody ever heard of the mentioned "libpipeline"? It seems so far it hasn't been packaged in any form for Arch. I'll have to bring this in when 2.6.0 comes out. -Andy Changes: This release reduces installation footprint by building much of man-db as shared libraries, and permits building with an external libpipeline (http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/). man-db 2.6.0 will stop shipping its own copy of libpipeline. Among other things, this release fixes an assertion failure on 'man -l', fixes catman saving corrupted pages in some locales, and prevents mandb from repeatedly rescanning manual page hierarchies on every run when a whatis entry turns into a broken link.

Looks like it is a project he started as a spinoff of what man-db does, reading the site. So it isn't too much of a surprise you haven't seen it before, people like to home-roll this type of stuff. -Dan

A quick fix release is out. Please signoff version 2.5.9! -Andy About this release ------------------ This is a quick release to correct errors in man-db 2.5.8: some systems encountered test failures due to excessive sensitivity to directory ordering, and './configure --disable-nls' was broken.
