Subject: man-pages-2.71 and man-pages-2.72 are released
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:46:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <476242FE.50805@gmail.com> (raw)
Gidday,
Repeating some old news:
* man-pages now has a website:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages
The site includes HTML versions of the current set of man-pages.
* Since man-pages-2.69, each man page now includes a COLOPHON
section at the end of the page which indicates the version of
man-pages in which this page is released, and also contains a
pointer to the man-pages web site.
* The list linux-man@vger.kernel.org has been created for
the purpose of discussing Linux man page bugs, patches,
and maintenance. To subscribe, send a message to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org, with the body:
subscribe linux-man
Back to the news as usual...
I recently released man-pages-2.71 and man-pages-2.72.
These releases are now available for download at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
(Note the s/manpages/man-pages/ in these paths;
a symlink with the old path will exist for
a limited time.)
Changes in these releases can be seen at
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html#release_2.71
and
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html#release_2.72
Many of the changes in these releases consist of formatting and consistency
fixes. A few of the changes that may be of interest to readers of this
list are summarized below.
Cheers,
Michael
