From
Gidday

Some news: the man-pages web site at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
now includes a (Google-based) search facility for searching the pages that
are online there.

I've released man-pages-2.77.

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

A full list of the changes in this release can be seen at
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html
A summary of the changes in this release that may be of interest to readers
of this list is provided below.

Cheers,

Michael
