man-pages-6.05-a1 - manual pages for GNU/Linux
This is an alpha release, which I only released for testing some changes
that affect packaging. For distributors, you can ignore this tag,
except that it may be useful to test a few things:
- Support for installing pages compressed with bzip2. This was only
for testing, and the results of the tests were quite interesting:
man-db's man(1) is 20x slower for .bz2 pages than for .gz ones. So,
please do yourself a favor and don't use this compression for man
pages.
- Provide .tar.bz2 tarballs. Funnily enough, I'm not going to provide
release tarballs this time, because that's one of the things I'm
testing.
- Reproducible tarballs. By running `make dist -B` from a release tag,
you should be able to produce a tag as good as the one I'll sign in
my computer. I'll send the signature via email, so if you want to
test this, please ask me to send you the signature, and then you can
verify the tarball you produced against it. In my local tests it
worked; let's see if that holds.
- Symlink link pages. They were already supported, but there was a bug
and some link pages were broken. It should be fixed now.
