Subjectman-pages-6.05 released
Gidday!

I'm proud to announce:

man-pages-6.05 - manual pages for GNU/Linux

The release tarball is already available at <kernel.org>

Tarball download:
<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/>
Git repository:
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/>

A change from man-pages-6.04 merits a mention in this release, as it
wasn't properly documented in the previous release notes:

- Add make(1) 'check' target. This has been split from 'lint'.
'lint' will check the source code, and 'check' will check the
rendered pages (as a user will read them). There are currently
several pages that fail this `make check`, and distributors that
depend on this can workaround it by touching a few files:

$ make check -k -j >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;
$ make check -k 2>/dev/null;
GREP .tmp/man/man1/memusage.1.check-catman.touch
TROFF .tmp/man/man2/fanotify_init.2.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man2/gettimeofday.2.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man2/s390_sthyi.2.cat.set
GREP .tmp/man/man3/mallopt.3.check-catman.touch
TROFF .tmp/man/man3/unlocked_stdio.3.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man4/console_codes.4.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man4/lirc.4.cat.set
GREP .tmp/man/man4/smartpqi.4.check-catman.touch
GREP .tmp/man/man4/veth.4.check-catman.touch
TROFF .tmp/man/man5/proc.5.cat.set
GREP .tmp/man/man5/slabinfo.5.check-catman.touch
TROFF .tmp/man/man5/tzfile.5.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man7/address_families.7.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man7/ascii.7.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man7/bpf-helpers.7.cat.set
GREP .tmp/man/man7/keyrings.7.check-catman.touch
GREP .tmp/man/man7/uri.7.check-catman.touch
TROFF .tmp/man/man8/tzselect.8.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man8/zdump.8.cat.set
TROFF .tmp/man/man8/zic.8.cat.set

After touching the previous files, `make check` will succeed:

$ make check -k 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}' | xargs touch;
$ make check -j >/dev/null;
$ echo $?
0

Global changes
--------------

- Types:
- Document functions using off64_t as if they used off_t (except
for lseek64()).

- Build system:
- Keep file modes in the release tarball.
- Fix symlink installation (`make install LINK_PAGES=symlink`).
- Add support for using bzip2(1), lzip(1), and xz(1) when installing
pages and creating release tarballs.
- Create reproducible release tarballs.
- Move makefiles from lib/ to share/mk/.
- Support mdoc(7) pages.
- Relicense Makefiles as GPL-3.0-or-later.
- Build PostScript and PDF manual pages.
- Add support for running our build system on arbitrary source
trees; this makes it possible to easily run our linters on another
project's manual pages as easily as `make lint MANDIR=~/src/groff`

- Licenses:
- Relicense ddp.7 from VERBATIM_ONE_PARA to Linux-man-pages-copyleft.
- Relicense dir_colors.5 from LDPv1 to GPL-2.0-or-later.
- Use new SPDX license identifiers:
- Linux-man-pages-1-para (was VERBATIM_ONE_PARA)
- Linux-man-pages-copyleft-2-para (was VERBATIM_TWO_PARA)
- Linux-man-pages-copyleft-var (was VERBATIM_PROF)

- ffix:
- use `\%`
- un-bracket tbl(1) tables
