Release man-db 2.9.3
2020-06-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Avoid po4a confusion with \c
po4a >= 0.58 (I think) changes its handling of \c slightly, resulting in
incorrect output for the admittedly awkward uses of \c in man(1).
Rearrange markup to avoid this.
* man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): Recast description of the syntax of
locale environment variables using \f[BIR] rather than .B/.RI and \c.
(Controlling formatted output): Coalesce markup for the default prompt
into a single .BI macro, avoiding the need for \c. Unfuzzy most
translations.
* NEWS: Document this.
2020-06-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix po4a version comparison
po4a's versions don't quite conform to Perl's standard versioning
arrangements, producing very confusing results when trying to compare
two-component and three-component versions (because "0.47" is equivalent
to "v0.470.0"). Perhaps we should use some other version comparison
system instead, but in the meantime patch things up so that what we
currently use behaves more sensibly.
* man/po4a/Locale/Po4a/Manext.pm (_parse_version): New subroutine.
(shiftline, pushline, translate): Use _parse_version, and always use a
leading "v" on the right-hand side.

Clarify description of zstd in configure
Suggested by crabbed halo ablution in Savannah bug #57558.

utility".

Fix configure logic for enabling COMP_CAT
Only enable COMP_CAT if a compressor is defined. (We don't have all
possible decompression utilities set up to be compressors too.)
* configure.ac: Only enable COMP_CAT if $compressor is non-empty.
2020-05-31 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make gxditview work with seccomp sandbox
"man -X" and friends used to work by running groff with -X, causing it
to run gxditview itself. This didn't work with the seccomp sandbox: the
sorts of system calls that a text processor needs to make are not very
much related to the sorts of system calls that an X client needs to
make.
Instead, run groff with -X -Z to pass the appropriate options to troff
but stop it from running gxditview, and then run gxditview ourselves
without sandboxing. This also lets us set a better window title.
* src/man.c (make_roff_command): In gxditview mode, run groff with -Z as
well as -X.
(make_display_command): In gxditview mode, add an appropriate gxditview
process.
(display): In gxditview mode, call the ordinary "display formatted page"
logic, without saving a cat page.

Fix language/territory candidate comparison logic
When I extracted the COMPARE_LOCALE_ELEMENTS macro, I apparently left in

of pt_BR pages.

* src/man.c (main): Remove debugging output of ruid and euid, which was

items to this list already emits a more human-friendly debugging
message. Remove caller of print_list.

two spaces.

Refactor deduplication in create_pathlist

(canonicalized_path_new, canonicalized_path_equals,
canonicalized_path_hash, canonicalized_path_free): New functions.
(add_dir_to_path_list): Canonicalize the given path and (if it exists)
add both the original and canonicalized versions as a pair.
(create_pathlist): Simplify: rather than doing a second quadratic-time
pass to eliminate duplicates, we now avoid inserting them in linear time
as we go along.

Revamp man(1) to be a more accessible introduction
Fixes Savannah bug #53050.
* man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS): Delete details of most options, as it
had got much too long and indigestible. The OPTIONS section below
remains, and is better-organised and easier to read. Delete the "man
-c" form entirely, as it's only for internal use by catman.
(DESCRIPTION): Move list of default sections to ...
(DEFAULTS): ... here.
(EXAMPLES): Use a real example rather than the peculiar "alias"
terminology for "man -t".
(OVERVIEW): Various minor editorial improvements. Remove discussion of
index database caches: it's mostly irrelevant to users, and is already
better-documented in mandb(8), apropos(1), and whatis(1). Simplify
discussion of where pages are stored. Briefly describe what cat pages
are. Rewrite description of localisation support to read more fluently
and to take into account that most users will already have a suitable
locale set up. Drop discussion of translations of this package's own
messages: this should be standard rather than something that we
explicitly need to call out here, and the term "message catalogues" was
opaque.
(DEFAULTS): Remove discussion of index database caches, as above.
Remove discussion of cat pages, since this is an implementation detail
and confused matters here too much.
(Finding manual pages): Tighten up language in description of
--sections. Simplify description of --update, and tell readers that it
is normally better to run mandb(8) instead.
(FILES): Remove mention of index database caches from here. While
man(1) does use them, they're an implementation detail and are
better-documented elsewhere.
(SEE ALSO): Remove overly-detailed cross-references to setlocale(3),
ascii(7), latin1(7), the man-db manual, and the FSSTND. Add a paragraph
mentioning documentation in other formats, such as info(1) or HTML.
* man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Remove stray quote before the FSSTND
keyword.
* man/man8/mandb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Remove claim that index database
caches are usually maintained by man(1).
* man/man1/man.man1, man/man1/manpath.man1: Use the "..." style of
quoting rather than the `...' style.

Remove confusing use of "on-line"
Nowadays "on-line" tends to be understood as "on the internet" rather

* manual/intro.me (Introduction): Say "information" rather than "online

Fixes part of Debian bug #892230.
* configure.ac: Substitute troff_as_troff_input, which is the same as
troff but with suitable escaping so that "groff -mandoc" turns into
"groff \-mandoc".
* man/replace.sin.in (%troff%): Substitute @troff_as_troff_input@ rather
than @troff@.

Remove ability to undefine COMP_SRC
This was a minor optimisation that wasn't worth the extra code
complexity.

simply contain only the terminal entry if no compressors are configured.

Order results manually for NDBM as well as GDBM
Commit 3a753221a3dddaf4870a86a4dca4771ed2cd80b3 in 2003 (!) worked
around the fact that GDBM's firstkey/nextkey interface doesn't return
ordered results. However, at least when using GDBM's NDBM compatibility
interface, this may be true for NDBM too. Extend the manual result
ordering code to cover both of these backends.
* libdb/db_gdbm.c (parent_keys, datum_compare, datum_equals, datum_hash,
datum_free, empty_datum, man_gdbm_firstkey, man_gdbm_nextkey,
man_gdbm_close): Move to ...

functions, wrapping gdbm_firstkey, gdbm_nextkey, and gdbm_close
respectively.

wrappers for the generic man_xdbm_* functions.
* libdb/db_ndbm.c (man_ndbm_close): Move NDBM-specific code ...

(unsorted_firstkey, unsorted_nextkey): New functions, wrapping
dbm_firstkey and dbm_nextkey respectively.

wrappers for the generic man_xdbm_* functions.
* libdb/mydbm.h (man_ndbm_firstkey, man_ndbm_nextkey): Add prototypes.
(MYDBM_FIRSTKEY) [NDBM]: Rewrite in terms of man_ndbm_firstkey.

disable -Wsystem-headers and -Wmissing-field-initializers. Define
GNULIB_NO_VLA=1 to avoid tripping over -Wvla.
* src/accessdb.c (help_filter): Disable -Wformat-nonliteral around this
function.
* src/man.c (help_filter): Likewise.

-Wsuggest-attribute=pure, and -Wunused-macros.
2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pacify gcc -Wnull-dereference
* src/accessdb.c (main): Add an assertion to help the compiler prove
that dbf is non-NULL. (It doesn't know that error (FATAL, ...) is
non-returning.)
2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add several function attributes suggested by GCC
* lib/debug.c (vdebug): Mark first argument as a printf format string.

Update to Gnulib 20190821
2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pass database file name in function parameters
Storing it in a global variable with an unresolved symbol from libmandb
was never very clean, and caused linking complications on some
platforms.
Fixes Savannah bug #56734.
* libdb/mydbm.h (database): Remove external symbol.
* src/accessdb.c: Remove obsolete comment.
* src/catman.c (database): Remove global variable.
(parse_for_sec): Add database parameter. Update all callers.

2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Use MYDBM_FILE->name for error messages
We previously used the global "database" variable, but we were either
also passing a MYDBM_FILE around already or could easily do so, and it's
cleaner to get the file name from there now that it's consistently
available on all backends.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (gripe_corrupt_data): Add dbf parameter. Get file
name from dbf->name rather than from the global database variable.
Update all callers.
(gripe_replace_key, split_data, split_content): Add dbf parameter.
Update all callers.
(dblookup_pattern): Get file name from dbf->name rather than from the
global database variable.
* libdb/db_ver.c (dbver_rd, dbver_wr): Get file name from dbfile->name
rather than from the global database variable.

rather than from the global database variable.
* src/whatis.c (do_apropos): Likewise.
2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Store database file name alongside its handle
The GDBM backend already did things this way, but it's convenient to do
it the same way for all backends.
Rename libmandb's various backend-specific functions to be uniformly
man_<backend>_<operation>. In the cases of btree and ndbm there was
already no clash with the libraries they depend on, but this makes them
match the gdbm backend.
* libdb/db_btree.c (btree_close): Rename to ...
(man_btree_close): ... this.
(btree_flopen): Rename to ...
(man_btree_open): ... this. Wrap the returned file handle in a
man_btree_wrapper structure that remembers the file name.

man_btree_exists, man_btree_findkey, man_btree_firstkey,
man_btree_nextkey, man_btree_nextkeydata, man_btree_get_time,
man_btree_set_time): Take man_btree_wrapper parameter rather than DB *.
Update all callers.
* libdb/db_ndbm.c (ndbm_flclose): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_close): ... this.
(ndbm_flopen): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_open): ... this. Copy the given file name before passing it
to dbm_open, since at least GDBM's compatibility implementation declares
that parameter as non-const. Wrap the returned file handle in a
man_ndbm_wrapper structure that remembers the file name.
(ndbm_get_time): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_get_time): ... this.
(ndbm_set_time): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_set_time): ... this.
Update all prototypes and callers for all renames.
(man_ndbm_close, man_ndbm_get_time, man_ndbm_set_time): Take
man_ndbm_wrapper parameter rather than DBM *. Update all callers.

2019-08-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Reorganise using @system-service set
systemd defines a @system-service set now which covers some of the ones
that were previously isolated here, so reorganise to take account of
that. No functional change.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Reorganise using systemd's new
@system-service set.
2019-08-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Set default action to EPERM, not TRAP
Returning EPERM rather than raising SIGSYS is no less secure, and it's
more likely that code injected via LD_PRELOAD will be able to recover
from this somehow.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Set default action to
SCMP_ACT_ERRNO (EPERM), not SCMP_ACT_TRAP.
2019-08-14 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

Improve manual build portability slightly
* manual/Makefile.am ($(MANUAL).pp, .pp.dvi, .pp.ps, .pp.tdvi,
.tdvi.tps, .pp.cat, .pp.html): Use "mv -f" rather than just "mv", since
Automake seems to prefer that for its own rules.

Make manual build more robust against failures
Fixes Savannah bug #56254.
* manual/Makefile.am ($(MANUAL).pp, .pp.dvi, .pp.ps, .pp.tdvi,

Simplify case-insensitivity in word_fnmatch
Using FNM_CASEFOLD saves us from having to lower-case the pattern
manually, and it also fixes the behaviour of "apropos -w" when given a
non-lower-case pattern.
* lib/wordfnmatch.c (word_fnmatch): Use isalpha and FNM_CASEFOLD rather
than manually lower-casing string or expecting pattern to have already
been lower-cased.
* NEWS: Document this.
2019-02-05 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify case-insensitive comparisons in whatis
We can just use strcasecmp and similar functions rather than
lower-casing comparands manually.
In some corner cases this may result in matches that would not
previously have been returned (e.g. "whatis -w" with a non-lower-case
pattern).
* src/whatis.c (parse_name): Use strcasecmp and FNM_CASEFOLD rather than
manually lower-casing dbname or expecting pages to have already been
lower-cased.

whatis or expecting page to have already been lower-cased.
(parse_whatis): Remove lowpages parameter; pass pages directly to match
instead.

need it.

sandbox: Work around Microsoft SCEP
This is a proprietary antivirus program and I've only been able to guess
at how to handle it. Note that it is no longer supported by Microsoft
and so users should probably replace it with something else, but I still
want to minimise the number of support requests I get related to it.

then allow some system calls related to sockets and System V message
queues.
* NEWS: Document this.

release.sh: Simplify Lex handling
release.sh had a hack to ensure that flex-generated scanners are fresh
in release tarballs. This is more easily achieved by configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode, which causes Automake to enable the Lex

* release.sh: Configure with --enable-maintainer-mode; drop conditional
removals of src/lexgrog.c and src/zsoelim.c.

lexgrog: Fix handling of \- in RHS of NAME section
Fixes Debian bug #913351.
* src/lexgrog.l (MAN_NAME): Split into MAN_NAME (left-hand side) and
MAN_DESC (right-hand side). Most rules remain as before, except that \-

new whatis definition) transition to MAN_NAME.

config_file, not withval.
2018-08-20 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fail to configure if flex is needed but missing
Fixes Savannah bug #54541.
* configure.ac: Issue an error if AC_PROG_LEX didn't find a lexer
generator and either src/lexgrog.c or src/zsoelim.c is missing (as may
be the case when building from a git clone rather than a released
tarball).
2018-08-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix warning from gcc -Wcast-function-type
This exposed the fact that errors from unlink in the cleanup path were
previously ignored. We now issue a warning in the same way that
commit_tmp_cat does.
* src/man.c (cleanup_unlink): New function.
(open_cat_stream, close_cat_stream, display_catman): Use cleanup_unlink
rather than an incorrect cast of unlink.

Work around Gnulib/gettext mismatch
The versions of gettext infrastructure files installed by gnulib-tool
don't necessarily match our configured AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, so we
need to fix things up in bootstrap.

rather than gnulib/po.
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): Merge temporary gl/ref-po directory into

sandbox: Allow some shared memory operations
These were previously only allowed when ESET File Security is in use,
but the Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, there are
doubtless other such preload hacks, and they're relatively harmless.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Allow shmat (third argument
SHM_RDONLY), shmctl (second argument IPC_STAT), shmdt, and shmget
regardless of preloads.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-06-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

documented, not in the current directory. This was broken by the
working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3.
Reported by Josh Triplett. Fixes Debian bug #901007.
* src/man.c (NFMT_PROG, TFMT_PROG): Remove leading "./".
(make_roff_command): Refactor confusing #ifdef forest. Prefix dir to
TFMT_PROG/NFMT_PROG rather than looking in the current directory. Don't
look for an external formatter at all if dir is NULL.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-06-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Define an access(2) wrapper with clearer semantics
As usual for system calls, access(2) returns zero on success. However,
I generally think of it as "can we access this file in this way", where
boolean semantics would be more convenient, and find it too easy to
invert logic by accident when using the system call directly. Define a
CAN_ACCESS wrapper with boolean semantics.
* include/manconfig.h.in (CAN_ACCESS): New macro.

up-front.

2018-04-05 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Suppress spurious gettext headers in --help output
Some of man-db's commands have post-options help text but no pre-options
help text. Unfortunately, the way this works in argp (separating the
two sections using a '\v' character) means that this results in argp
trying to translate the empty string, which produces gettext catalog
headers. The easiest way to suppress this odd behaviour seems to be to
use a help filter function, so do that.
Reported by Rafael Fontenelle.
* src/accessdb.c (help_filter): Return NULL for ARGP_KEY_HELP_PRE_DOC.
* src/lexgrog_text.c (help_filter): New function.
(argp): Add help_filter.

sandbox: Allow kill and tgkill outright
This is unfortunate but unavoidable: groff uses kill to explicitly pass

search slightly more permissive.
2018-02-20 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Handle /etc/ld.so.preload
At least ESET File Security may be configured using /etc/ld.so.preload
rather than the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, so unfortunately we
need to check that too.
* lib/sandbox.c (search_ld_preload): New function, handling both
LD_PRELOAD and /etc/ld.so.preload.
(can_load_seccomp, make_seccomp_filter): Use search_ld_preload.

sandbox: Work around ESET File Security
This is a proprietary antivirus program, so this is only a best guess
from strace output. The choices are to disable the sandbox entirely or
to allow a few socket-related system calls if this antivirus program is
detected, and the latter is probably slightly better.
Reported by John Sivak.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): If LD_PRELOAD contains the
substring "/libesets_pac.so", then allow some socket-related system
calls so that the preload wrapper can talk to its daemon.

privileges.
2018-02-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Refactor sandbox attachment to be more composable
The sandbox interface now exposes the necessary load/free primitives,

Add fallback pager if the compile-time default is not executable
A problem with man-db's man is that in the case of the user giving no
configuration via conf files, argv, or environment variables; man
defaults to less as pager (PAGER); but less may not be present on the
system. Sure, other pagers may be selected in aforementioned ways, but
then the defaults are overridden, making that unsuitable for
install-time configuration.
This patch makes man check (if that becomes relevant) if PAGER is
executable, further defaulting to cat (which is basically ubiquitous,
being in original Unix, POSIX, and GNU Coreutils) if it is not. Thus
the poor beginner Unix users without less installed will be able to
get man pages.
* src/man.c (sh_lang_first_word): New function.

src/tests: Use /tmp for temporary directories

Fall back to ./tmp-* if 'mktemp -d' fails.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Eliminate dangerous setgid-root directories
man-db has created its cache directories as setgid root for nearly 20
years. This seems to have originated in https://bugs.debian.org/26002.
However, this has some dangerous consequences, such as:
http://www.halfdog.net/Security/2015/SetgidDirectoryPrivilegeEscalation/
It seems best to arrange for cache files and directories to be man:man
rather than man:root. To do this reliably, as well as adjusting various
chown and chmod calls, we make man and mandb be setgid man as well as
setuid man (except in the --disable-setuid case). This is a much
simpler and safer solution to the original problem, and doesn't
introduce any interesting new privilege since the man group's only real
purpose is to be the man user's primary group and nothing in cache
directories is group-writeable.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add lchown.
* lib/security.c (init_security): Record initial real and effective
group IDs as well as user IDs.
(drop_effective_privs, regain_effective_privs): Update gid.
* lib/xchown.c (xlchown) [HAVE_LCHOWN]: New function.
* lib/xchown.c (xlchown) [HAVE_LCHOWN]: Add prototype.
* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Set man_mode to 6755 rather than 4755 in the
--enable-setuid case.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Check for man_mode being 6755
rather than 4755. Set the group of man and mandb as well as their
owner.
* src/check_mandirs.c (chown_if_possible): New function. This is
somewhat more careful than previous implementations, changes the group
as well as the user if possible, and prefers lchown if it is available.
(mkcatdirs): Drop S_ISGID from cat directories. Use chown_if_possible.
(fix_permissions, fix_permissions_tree): New functions to remove setgid
bit from existing cat directories.
(testmandirs): Call fix_permissions_tree.
* src/check_mandirs.h (chown_if_possible): Add prototype.
* src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): Set cat file group as well as owner.
* src/mandb.c (check_chown): Remove.
(do_chown): Stop taking a uid parameter. Use chown_if_possible.
(mandb): Use chown_if_possible for CACHEDIR.TAG. Set ownership and
permissions of CACHEDIR.TAG even if it already exists.
(process_manpath): Set ownership of database files even if they have not
been changed.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make --disable-cache-owner imply --disable-setuid
* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Set man_mode="755" if --disable-cache-owner was
given and neither --enable-setuid nor --disable-setuid was given.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Update manual for cache-owner/setuid changes
* manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Add --enable-cache-owner and
--disable-cache-owner. Remove --enable-setuid[=ARG]. Adjust
description of --disable-setuid.
* manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): Add --disable-cache-owner to the
non-setuid modes. Mention --enable-setuid rather than
--enable-setuid=USER.
* README (Non-generic arguments to configure): Update.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Allocate dbpaths on the heap rather than the stack
process_manpath's stack may have gone out of scope by the time cleanup
functions are called.
* src/mandb.c (cleanup): Free dbpaths.
(process_manpath): Allocate dbpaths on the heap.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Handle cleanup stack more safely
If push_cleanup was called unexpectedly between a
push_cleanup/pop_cleanup pair, then the pop_cleanup would remove the
wrong cleanup function and chaos could ensue. Avoid this by being more
precise about which cleanup function should be popped.
* lib/cleanup.c (pop_cleanup): Take "fun" and "arg" arguments. Pop the
topmost matching function from the stack, rather than just the topmost
function. Update all callers and prototypes.

Separate cache owner from --enable-setuid option
It's useful to have a notion of the cache owner even when man is not
installed setuid. --enable-setuid no longer takes an argument, and the
owner is now set by the --enable-cache-owner option instead.
* m4/man-arg-cache-owner.m4: New file.
* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Stop accepting an argument. Only set man_mode,
not man_owner.
* configure.ac: Call MAN_ARG_CACHE_OWNER.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Only chown man and mandb if
man_mode is 4755 (as well as the existing test for man_owner being
non-empty).
2016-11-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

man: Avoid dubious use of freopen to reopen base streams
freopen doesn't actually work properly when base streams have been
closed (at least with glibc), and it seems better to simply refuse to
operate in such a non-conforming environment.
* src/man.c (check_standard_fds): New function.
(main): Call it rather than using freopen.

Allow building from git without gnulib-tool
Since we don't want to keep Gnulib translations in revision control,
we need gnulib-tool on $PATH when generating the build system in
order to fetch them, but it's unnecessarily awkward to require
everyone to have this just in order to build man-db from git. Allow
building without this, although it is still required for "make
dist".
* configure.ac: No longer issue an error if gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in
is missing. Instead, set the Automake conditional HAVE_GNULIB_PO to
true if and only if gnulib/po/POTFILES.in exists, and only create
gnulib/po/Makefile.in if gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in exists.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Only include gnulib/po if HAVE_GNULIB_PO is
true.

Don't store canonicalised versions of manpath elements
We still compare canonicalised versions, but don't store them.
Storing them results in looking up the wrong catpath in the case
where one of the configured MANDB_MAP entries is a symlink.
Broken by commit 01e5a4febfc7b6cd53991455315ae7744c8f31dd; fixes
Fedora bug #1043401.

* NEWS: Document this.
2014-09-16 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Don't use pointed-to name as title for database-located pages
For a pointer record, the pointed-from name is a legitimate alias

* src/man.c (display_database): Don't use the pointed-to name to
construct the title for display.

Order files by first physical extent before reading
Inspired by a similar change in dpkg. This takes 'mandb -c' from
104 to 32 seconds in a test installation, and 'man -K' from 74 to 38
seconds. On non-Linux systems where FIEMAP is not available, use
posix_fadvise instead to preload files.
Fixes Debian bug #574410.

Reorder functions in man to remove need for header file
man.h was only needed because of some poor function ordering in man.c.
Reorder functions so that definition comes before use, except in one
case of mutual recursion.
* src/man.c (main): Move to end of file.
(local_man_loop): Move to immediately before man.
(man): Add a prototype declaration just before local_man_loop, to
cope with mutual recursion.

2014-09-13 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove old and broken FAST_BTREE code
This was marked as experimental and broken when I took over man-db
13 years ago, and I've hardly touched it. There's no point in
keeping it around.

2014-09-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Move database mtime out of the database into file metadata
This makes the database reproducible between installations, as long
as the underlying database has predictable behaviour and the set of
installed manual pages (including their timestamps) remains
identical. As a bonus, we now use high-precision times in several
places.
Fixes Debian bug #760895.
* gnulib: Import futimens and timespec modules.
* libdb/db_btree.c (btree_get_time, btree_set_time): New functions.

database row.
(create_db, purge_missing): Get database file modification times
rather than fetching a database row.
(purge_missing): If the new will_run_mandb argument is true, reset
the database mtime to its value before purging; this ensures that
mandb will still run as expected afterwards.
* src/check_mandirs.h (purge_missing): Update prototype.
* src/mandb.c (xcopy): Copy access and modification times.
(process_manpath): Work out in advance of purging whether we will
need to run mandb, and pass that to purge_missing.
* include/manconfig.h.in (VER_ID): Bump to 2.5.0.
(KEY): Remove.
* man/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION), man/it/man8/accessdb.man8

2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Don't purge entries from databases that fail sanity checks
* src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): Return early if
sanity_check_db fails, for instance in the case of a version
mismatch.
2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Switch away from obsolescent utime function
POSIX.1-2008 marks utime as obsolescent. Switch to variants of the
futimens/utimensat family instead, via Gnulib. Use higher-precision
times for cat pages.
