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
The most notable changes in this release (man-pages-6.05) are:
New and rewritten pages -----------------------
man2/ ioctl_pipe.2
man3/ regex.3
man5/ erofs.5
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages ---------------------------------------------
bpf.2 EAGAIN
ioctl_userfaultfd.2 UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS
prctl.2 PR_GET_AUXV
recv.2 MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC
statx.2 STAT_ATTR_MOUNT_ROOT
syscall.2 ENOSYS
resolv.conf.5 no-aaaa RES_NOAAAA
tmpfs.5 CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
ip.7 IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE
rtnetlink.7 IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS
New and changed links ---------------------
man3type/ regex_t.3type (regex(3)) regmatch_t.3type (regex(3)) regoff_t.3type (regex(3))
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
