Groff-base 1.18.1.1-21
GNU troff text-formatting system (base system components)
This package contains the traditional UN*X text formatting tools
troff, nroff, tbl, eqn, and pic. These utilities, together with the
man-db package, are essential for displaying the on-line manual pages.
groff-base is a stripped-down package containing the necessary components
to read manual pages in ASCII, Latin-1, and UTF-8, plus the PostScript
device (groff's default). Users who want a full groff installation, with
the standard set of devices, fonts, macros, and documentation, should
install the groff package.

Changes
| Version | Changes | Author | Date |
| 1.18.1.1-21 | * Build-depend on xutils-dev rather than xutils (thanks, Daniel Schepler; closes: #485203). * Update DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS parsing code from policy 3.8.0. * Build-depend on x11proto-core-dev rather than x-dev (thanks, Lintian). * Use /bin/bash for eqn2graph and pic2graph due to use of $RANDOM, even though that's only a fallback in case mktemp fails (closes: #489604). * Display more helpful output if a device was not found but is known to be one of the devices in the groff binary package rather than groff-base. * Define .PS and .PE to empty strings in pic output to inhibit -wmac warnings (closes: #495713); similarly, define .EQ and .EN to empty strings in eqn output. * Add information to debian/copyright (a file from newer groff releases and a clarifying e-mail) noting that upstream has relicensed the groff documentation under the terms of the GPL (closes: #374569). * Remove some fallback constructs from groffer that aren't necessary with POSIX shells and that break dash (closes: #489604). | cjwatson@debian.org | 2008-08-26 08:27 UTC |
