I have a few issues/questions. 1. This doesn't apply cleanly to current sources in version control. Would you be able to provide a patch that does? I can probably resolve the clashes OK, but I know little about groff, so I'm not sure if other man-page changes/additions might also require fixing, so it'd be better if someone who knows more what they're doing could look at it. 2. My system (Mac OS X) doesn't like the UTF-8 encoding. The existing Latin-1 encoding works for me (in fact, the =F8 is replaced by just an o for me automagically somewhere). I guess this is locale-related. This means we need to figure out how to do an encoding conversion appropriate to the host system as part of the build/install process, or find a groff directive that makes it interpret the file as a particular encoding, or something, rather than just change the encoding. I'm happy to change the encoding to UTF-8 if we can figure out how to make all systems interpret the files properly. Any ideas? 3. Could we keep the separate issues in separate patches? If the encoding change is in one patch, the hyphen issue in another, and the content changes in another, that'd be nice (and I can then easily apply any that have no issues while continuing to discuss any that do). Cheers, and thanks again, Ben. On 22/01/12 8:08 PM, Thomas Goirand wrote: > Hi, > > Please also apply these man page fixes.
