Gidday,
Some 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.
* Starting with 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.
Repeating some old news:
* As from now, my address as man-pages maintainer has changed to mtk.manpages@gmail.com. (Mail to the old address will continue to work for a while, but eventually I will close that account.)
* 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-2.69.
This release is 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 the release that may be of interest to readers of this list are summarized below.
Cheers,
Michael (man-pages maintenance is supported by Google, as a Google engineer 20% project.)
