Debian Changelog groff (1.18.1.1-12)

2006

groff (1.18.1.1-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * src/devices/grohtml/post-html.cc: Remove extra qualification on
     char_block constructor (closes: #356248).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:05:51 +0100

2005

groff (1.18.1.1-11) unstable; urgency=low

   * Build-depend on x-dev, libx11-dev, libxmu-dev, and libxt-dev rather than
     the transitional xlibs-dev package.
   * Use debhelper v4.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 16 Dec 2005 13:28:09 +0000

groff (1.18.1.1-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Configure gxditview with 'xmkmf -DBuildXaw=NO' to override imake's
     incorrect ideas about library linkage and avoid libXp when linking with
     libXaw7. We don't need Xprint support anyway.
   * Build-depend on just libxaw7-dev, dropping the alternative.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 13 Sep 2005 10:38:10 +0100

groff (1.18.1.1-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Move www.tmac to groff-base (closes: #319506).
   * Fix non-XSI code in groff.postinst (part of #256226).
   * Improve CJK support (closes: #324107):
     - Add support for Chinese GB2312/GBK and BIG5 encodings (in the
       increasingly-misnamed nippon driver), with kinsoku tables borrowed
       from Emacs. Simon Law eyeballed the GB2312/GBK table.
     - Expect UTF-8 input when running under a ko_*.UTF-8 locale. Functional
       Korean support still requires a kinsoku table and a groff font
       covering Hangul.
   * Fix use of DoCharacter() in multibyte case; some calls to it were
     missing the fourth argument (closes: #285524).
   * Policy version 3.6.2. No changes required.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 31 Aug 2005 12:54:37 +0100

groff (1.18.1.1-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Avoid double fclose() in grn, which causes a build failure with glibc
     2.3.5.
   * Move gxditview from /usr/X11R6 to /usr.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Mon, 23 May 2005 16:34:34 +0100

groff (1.18.1.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Too many fonts are missing the Unicode HYPHEN character, so I give up.
     Render "-" as HYPHEN-MINUS (ASCII 0x2D) by default. (Of course, manual
     pages using "-" when they should be using "\-" should still be fixed.)

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 18 Mar 2005 17:57:51 +0000

groff (1.18.1.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Refer to /usr/share/doc/groff-base/copyright or
     /usr/share/doc/groff/copyright in the header of all manual pages
     licensed under the GFDL, per GFDL section 6 "COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS"
     (closes: #292229, #292230).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 26 Jan 2005 09:28:10 +0000

2004

groff (1.18.1.1-5) unstable; urgency=high

   * Upstream fix for temporary file handling vulnerability in pic2graph
     (closes: #286371).
   * Upstream fix for temporary file handling vulnerability in eqn2graph
     (closes: #286372).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Mon, 20 Dec 2004 14:26:25 +0000

groff (1.18.1.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix use of anonymous structs at top level, which gcc-4.0 doesn't like
     (patch backported from upstream, by Art Haas; closes: #282682).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 11 Dec 2004 14:39:11 +0100

groff (1.18.1.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Clarify copyright file (closes: #279904). Some items of documentation
     are under non-free licences; this is exempt for sarge, and in any case
     will be resolved when I update to a new version of groff after sarge.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 17 Nov 2004 19:36:29 +0000

groff (1.18.1.1-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * [SECURITY] Fix a race condition in groffer leading to a temporary file
     handling vulnerability (closes: #278265).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 26 Oct 2004 23:52:13 +0100

groff (1.18.1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * The "Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!" release.
   * New upstream release. The only change is an updated groffer script.
   * Policy version 3.6.1. No changes required.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Jun 2004 01:44:41 +0100

groff (1.18.1-15) unstable; urgency=low

   * Create eqn2graph's temporary files in /tmp, not /usr/tmp (thanks, Einar
     Karttunen; closes: #216819). How did I miss this when doing the same for
     pic2graph?

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:37:26 +0000

2003

groff (1.18.1-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Document Unicode hyphen configuration in README.Debian.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 15 Nov 2003 17:43:03 +0000

groff (1.18.1-13) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add sample code to /etc/groff/man.local and /etc/groff/mdoc.local to
     make "-" render as Unicode HYPHEN-MINUS on the utf8 device. This is
     commented out by default because man pages which require this are buggy:
     "\-" should be used instead when a real dash as opposed to a logical
     hyphen is required.
   * Fix some typos in groff(1) (thanks, Göran Weinholt; closes: #181375).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 6 Nov 2003 12:52:18 +0000

groff (1.18.1-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Create pic2graph's temporary files in /tmp, not /usr/tmp (thanks, Alex
     Withers; closes: #216819).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 21 Oct 2003 09:24:37 +0100

groff (1.18.1-11) unstable; urgency=low

   * Never recode input or output for the ascii8 device. It doesn't work in
     non-trivial locales, since ascii8 isn't supposed to be prepared for
     input in, say, UTF-8, and the point of ascii8 is to be a trivial hack
     device for use when you know your input encoding is the same as your
     output encoding. This makes man(1)'s life easier, and incidentally fixes
     a problem with iconv replacing certain Polish characters with question
     marks (closes: #170320).
   * Revert part of the original attempt at fixing #170320 (in 1.18.1-2),
     which made ascii8 accept U+0100 to U+0200. This is no longer necessary
     with the above, and it broke the assumptions in
     font::get_font_wchar_metric(), causing problems for KOI8-R input.
   * Stop output devices breaking when given the 'x init' command in an
     intermediate output file rather than 'x init <encoding>'.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 14 Sep 2003 16:17:41 +0100

groff (1.18.1-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix wrong devps Japanese font metrics (thanks, Masatoshi Suehiro and
     Junichi Uekawa; closes: #194016).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 19 Aug 2003 02:54:34 +0100

groff (1.18.1-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix segfault in grotty when changing the colour before setting the
     initial font (closes: #189384).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 18 Apr 2003 00:47:43 +0000

groff (1.18.1-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Make sure that the default input character encoding is always
     ISO-8859-1, except for the ascii8 device and for Japanese locales. This
     is required for compatibility with upstream.
   * Automatically load latin1.tmac when using all terminal devices except
     ascii, not just the latin1 device.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Apr 2003 00:11:40 +0100

groff (1.18.1-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use groff's font metric instead of wcwidth()
     (src/devices/grotty/tty.cc): add cols to tty_font
   	add_char takes font parameter
   	tty_printer:add_char calculate hpos by using font metric
     (src/include/encoing.h src/libs/libgroff/encoding.cc):
   	put_wchar returns number of bytes written, not columns.
   * font metric fixed, X*/M.proto,
   * fix sed script in font's Makefile.sub. sed doesn't see + as regex metachar.
     replace [0-9]+ to [0-9][0-9]*.

 -- Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>  Mon, 24 Feb 2003 10:59:09 +0900

groff (1.18.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use wcwidth() to find the width of UTF-8 characters. This seems to work
     well for both en_GB.UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF-8, so both CJK and non-CJK
     output should finally be correct (closes: #173764).
   * Recommend libpaper1 instead of libpaperg.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 23 Feb 2003 19:33:50 +0000

groff (1.18.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * put_wchar() returns number of columns for char
   * add UTF-8 support for Japanese.

 -- Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>  Fri, 7 Feb 2003 00:32:00 +0900

groff (1.18.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix over-zealous backspacing in UTF-8 output (closes: #173764).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 6 Feb 2003 01:31:57 +0000

groff (1.18.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Recode this changelog to UTF-8.
   * Clarify README.Debian to mention the error message you get if you've
     forgotten to install groff as well as groff-base (see #175585).
   * Build with g++ 3.2. Drop hppa -fno-strength-reduce hack from 1.17.2-12,
     which I hope should no longer be required.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 8 Jan 2003 03:26:13 +0000

2002

groff (1.18.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Backport upstream patch to fix segfaults in
     node::add_discretionary_hyphen() observed while building aegis and
     aegis3 (closes: #173058, #173063).
   * Fix pic2graph syntax error, thanks to lintian. Patch also sent upstream.
   * Patch from Fumitoshi UKAI to fix ISO-8859-2 output through devascii8
     (closes: #170320).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 15 Dec 2002 14:59:20 +0000

groff (1.18.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
     - Includes 'Am' string in mdoc from NetBSD (closes: #163195).
   * Amend debian/copyright to reflect that the papersize fallback patch has
     been merged upstream.
   * Actually call the GROFF_LANGINFO_CODESET macro as well as defining it.
 
   * New multibyte patch from Fumitoshi UKAI, with adjustments by me. Fixes
     Japanese HTML output, among other things (closes: #149006).
 
     groff (1.18.1-0.u1) unstable; urgency=low
 
       * for C or POSIX locale, use ascii8 encoding handler
       * xditview supports ENABLE_MULTIBYTE (at least Japanese)

     groff (1.18-6.u1) unstable; urgency=low
 
       * new multibyte support patch based on japanese patch
         - use iconv
         - add .encoding directive (default encoding is determined from locale)
         - \[u<code>] supported
         - font/*/DESC:
            add fontset
         - font/*/<font>
            add u<code>..u<code> range
         - grotty and grops works (japanese)

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 10 Nov 2002 23:16:32 +0000

groff (1.18-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Policy version 3.5.7:
     - Drop DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug support; compile with -g by default.
     - Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt.
   * src/roff/troff/node.cc (bracket_node::copy): Fix a segfault on copying
     an empty bracket_node, such as '(\bu' (closes: #162595).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Sep 2002 16:03:22 +0100

groff (1.18-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Backport upstream patch to m.tmac for the benefit of gpresent: the VM
     macro definition was missing a backslash (closes: #160713).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 13 Sep 2002 00:54:39 +0100

groff (1.18-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Document the Debian groff macro path in README.Debian.
   * Map \- to Unicode HYPHEN-MINUS in UTF-8 mode, for more convenient
     searching in man pages (closes: #159872).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 6 Sep 2002 22:34:21 +0100

groff (1.18-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upstream patch to freeze unbreakable spaces, preventing a failed
     assertion on latin1(7) (closes: #155969).
   * Install text versions of meintro.ps, meref.ps, and pic.ps. Other
     documents either aren't very useful in plain text or don't format well
     (closes: #155226).
   * Reorder clean target a little.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 10 Aug 2002 10:54:54 +0100

groff (1.18-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * src/devices/grohtml/html-table.cc: Initialize another variable properly.
     This really fixes the segfault during the arm build.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 31 Jul 2002 02:52:20 +0100

groff (1.18-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * src/include/encoding.h: Fix broken token-after-#endif syntax.
   * src/devices/grohtml/post-html.cc: Make sure pointsize is initialized
     properly. This fixes an infinite loop in the ia64 build, and perhaps arm
     too.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 27 Jul 2002 18:41:46 +0100

groff (1.18-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Highlights:
     - Colour support (although see below).
     - New macro set, mom, mainly for non-scientific writers. The aim of
       these macros is to make groff accessible for ordinary use with a
       minimum of convoluted syntax.
     - 'eu' and 'Eu' characters available for Euro support.
     - Improved support for TeX hyphenation files.
     - New means of setting the line length, which now works for -mdoc manual
       pages as well as -man. Use man-db >= 2.4.0 to take advantage of this.
     - Documentation of the differences between groff and Unix troff is now
       in groff_diff(7).
     - groff_mwww(1) has been renamed to groff_www(1).
     - groff_ms(7) has been completely rewritten.
     - New scripts: groffer, pic2graph, and eqn2graph.
     - Substantial improvements in grohtml (although it's still alpha),
       including dealing with overstriking properly (closes: #67545).
 
   * Many thanks, again, to Fumitoshi UKAI for forward-porting the Japanese
     patch.
   * Disable the new ANSI colour/bold/underline escapes in nroff mode,
     because most pagers either fail to cope with it or need special options
     to do so. It can be re-enabled by editing /etc/groff/man.local and
     /etc/groff/mdoc.local, or by setting the environment variable GROFF_SGR
     to something non-empty.
   * Drop most current /etc/papersize patches, as the 'papersize' DESC
     keyword is now available upstream. We now only patch the DESC files and
     extend the papersize keyword to allow falling back to something else if
     /etc/papersize doesn't exist.
   * Fix the removal of final newlines when reading /etc/papersize.
   * Translate the 'oq' character to an apostrophe (0x27) rather than a
     backquote (0x60) when using devices other than utf8 (closes: #149086).
 
   * Merge groff-x11 back into groff, since this release doesn't have to
     worry so much about smooth upgrades from potato (closes: #129835).
   * Accordingly, remove the debconf note about this, since it was an abuse
     of debconf anyway. README.Debian describes the package organization.
   * Include more documentation in the main groff package (closes: #121475).
   * Build-depend on gs, netpbm, and psutils for HTML documentation. Mention
     in README.build that people bootstrapping a new port or otherwise
     building the base system from scratch don't need these three.
   * Recommend these three packages for the grohtml driver.
   * Recommend imagemagick for pic2graph and eqn2graph.
   * Downgrade libpaperg dependency to a recommendation, since we fall back
     to a4 now if it's not installed.
   * Use debhelper v3 mode.
   * Upstream ships pre-built info files now, so use them. You need texinfo
     (>= 4.2) if you want to regenerate them.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 21 Jul 2002 18:33:04 +0100

groff (1.17.2-17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Back to unstable, now that there's no concern about disrupting woody.
     Merge changes from -15.woody.1 (unstable) and -16 (experimental).
   * Delete excess charset information in M and G font files that also use
     the fixedkanji directive, after consultation with Fumitoshi UKAI. This
     saves over 1.6Mb.
   * Move ps device to base, now that it isn't quite so large. It's needed
     there because it's the default device (closes: #131410).
   * Update the descriptions of groff-base and groff for the move of the
     PostScript device.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 4 May 2002 18:03:40 +0100

groff (1.17.2-16) experimental; urgency=low

   * Experimental upload for the benefit of the NetBSD porters.
   * Document the build-dependency loop with xfree86, and allow people
     constructing new ports to override this temporarily with
     DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=no-groff-x11 (closes: #130312).
   * Import AM_LANGINFO_CODESET macro from gettext, and use it for
     --enable-japanese to provide an emulation of nl_langinfo(CODESET) for
     systems that don't have it (closes: #130356).
   * Fix build without --enable-japanese.
   * Build-depend on a version of debhelper which pulls in debconf-utils
     (closes: #130357).
   * Test that Makefile.clean doesn't exist before clobbering it in the
     configure target.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 6 Dec 2001 17:15:20 +0000

groff (1.17.2-12) unstable; urgency=high

   * Use -fno-strength-reduce on hppa, as a temporary workaround for a
     compiler bug.
   * Display package-split note when reconfiguring (closes: #122420).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 5 Dec 2001 17:24:08 +0000

groff (1.17.2-11) unstable; urgency=high

   * Use lpr as the print spooler, even if it happens not to be installed on
     the build system. This broke 'groff -l' (thanks, Mike Fontenot).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 30 Nov 2001 21:41:29 +0000

groff (1.17.2-10) unstable; urgency=high

   * Install lbp.tmac (closes: #121765).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 29 Nov 2001 20:28:18 +0000

groff (1.17.2-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add Fumitoshi UKAI to Uploaders, in case of emergencies.
   * Move refer to groff, as this saves over 100K in groff-base and I don't
     think refer is very useful without additional macro packages.
   * Document refer in groff's description.
   * Move ChangeLog.jp and README.jp to groff-base.
   * Replace createM.c with a Perl implementation to aid cross-compilation
     (thanks, Fumitoshi UKAI; closes: #114338).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 14 Oct 2001 04:35:20 +0100

groff (1.17.2-8) unstable; urgency=medium

   * The "Texas Armadillo" release.
   * Policy version 3.5.6 (support build-arch and build-indep targets).
   * Reduce size of devnippon fonts, and include devnippon in groff-base
     (thanks, Fumitoshi UKAI and GOTO Masanori; closes: #112622).
   * Upstream fix for overzealous warnings from -mm and -ms (closes: #69129).
   * Fix building in a subdirectory (closes: #111229).
   * Remove spurious substitutions of '..' for '.' in groff_man(7).
   * groff depends on libpaperg so that /etc/papersize is always present.
   * Urgency medium as the above has broken some builds of other packages.
   * Correct quoted-printable remnant in Brazilian Portugese debconf template

groff (1.17.2-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * Back with a new GPG key after a disk crash. Thanks for the NMU in the
     meantime (closes: #107998, #108705).
   * Document that -E can't suppress messages output to stderr by macro
     packages using .tm or .tm1 (fix from upstream CVS; closes: #69130).

groff (1.17.2-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * src/preproc/eqn/text.cc: Initialize wc to the value of the current

     nulls instead of normal characters (closes: #106551).
   * Conflict with jgroff as well as with pre-split versions of ordinary

groff (1.17.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Urgency medium to get a halfway recent groff into testing for the base
     system freeze. This version should be a significant improvement for
     non-ASCII/Latin-1 users.
 
   * New Japanese patch from Fumitoshi UKAI:

groff (1.17.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Fixes \s[0] escape (affects non-tty use of mdoc).
   * debian/rules:
     - The clean target now cleans the source tree better.
     - Use version detection from Makefile.in: it's friendlier to syntax
       highlighting.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Mon, 9 Jul 2001 03:35:20 +0100

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 24 Jun 2001 03:45:43 +0100

groff (1.17.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Of course, the library directory has moved with the new version number.
     Add a symlink, /usr/share/groff/current, which points to the current
     library directory; also add a versioned conflicts on troffcvt, which I'm
     about to fix to cope with this. If you rely on some particular version,
     use it; if not, use current.
   * Autogenerate debian/groff-base.files and debian/groff-base.links.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 23 Jun 2001 00:54:37 +0100

groff (1.17-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Back out patch supporting transparent decompression of groff's input
     stream. Since programs using groff have to support systems where *roff
     doesn't know how to decompress things, it doesn't really simplify
     anything else greatly; more importantly, using gzip means that argument
     parsing didn't always work the way we expected (closes: #75990).
   * The lj4 and ps drivers already support /etc/papersize due to an earlier
     Debian patch, and it turns out that lbp supports it upstream but wasn't
     previously configured to use it. Altered its DESC file to meet libpaper
     standards (closes: #19681, #19722).
   * Move the error unwind for groff-base's preinst into its postrm (oops).
   * New German debconf translation (thanks, Sebastian Feltel;
     closes: #100681).
   * Add README.Debian, describing the recent package reorganization.
   * Update copyright file to describe all upstream-relevant patches.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 20 Jun 2001 00:43:45 +0100

groff (1.17-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Restore /usr/share/groff/tmac to the macro path, as some third-party
     programs install macros there (should fix #100139, but I'll leave it to
     the vgrind maintainer to check that groff 1.17 hasn't broken anything
     else).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 8 Jun 2001 19:06:15 +0100

groff (1.17-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Brown paper bag bug: move grotty to groff-base!
   * Also move the doc macros to groff-base; some man pages use them. (This
     and the above bloat -base by some 200K, I'm afraid.)
   * Mention in the debconf note that groff-base supports Latin-1 and UTF-8
     as well as ASCII.
   * /usr/share/groff/site-tmac contains mdoc.local as well as man.local as
     of 1.17, so make that whole directory a symlink to /etc/groff and
     migrate the old /etc/tmac.man.local conffile to /etc/groff/man.local.
     This seems to need some ugly migration code.
   * Back out the autoconf 2.50 diffs for now, as they were polluting the
     .diff.gz. I've sent them upstream, though.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Jun 2001 17:02:12 +0100

groff (1.17-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New maintainer (ciao, Fabrizio).
   * Thanks for the NMUs (closes: #75722, #90765).
   * New upstream release, with corresponding debian/copyright updates.
   * Follow upstream's move to versioned subdirectories of /usr/share/groff.
   * The components of groff required to support normal use of man-db are now
     in a separate package, groff-base (thanks, Elrond; closes: #53225).
   * Also split out gxditview and the devices that use it into the groff-x11
     package. I'd have preferred them to stay part of groff, as discussed on
     -devel, but the necessary xlibs dependency would mean that everybody
     dist-upgrading from a potato base system would get the X libraries.
     Added a debconf note to avoid silent loss of functionality; maybe in
     woody+1 they can be merged back into groff.
 
   * New packaging, using debhelper.
     - This shouldn't generate invalid syntax in the prerm (closes: #86437).
     - All binaries should be correctly stripped now (closes: #96786).
   * Add build dependencies (thanks, Daniel Schepler; closes: #80844).
   * Don't bother running configure in the clean target.
   * Touch configure in debian/rules to avoid a build-dep on autoconf. This
     means I have to remember to run the autotools manually every time. Ugh.
   * Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS debug and nostrip.
   * Mark /etc/X11/app-defaults/GXditview as a conffile.
   * All this brings us to Standards-Version: 3.5.2.
 
   * New Japanese patch (version 0.0.2) from Fumitoshi UKAI. This may not be
     quite right yet; please let me know if there are any problems.
   * Replace mdate.sh with something whose results are more predictable
     (thanks, Florian Lohoff; closes: #62554).
   * Force LC_ALL to C so that makeinfo doesn't insert some localized strings
     for the package builder's environment (closes: #84370).
   * s/man/man-db/ in the package description.
   * Remove an autoconf hack from aclocal.m4; the bug it's working around is
     now fixed and the hack broke with autoconf 2.50 (closes: #98916).
   * Set gxditview's fontpath in debian/rules, restoring
     /usr/local/share/groff/font.
   * Preserve the Makefile to avoid a large diff.
   * Back out single-page an.tmac patch; upstream did it more neatly.

   * In src/roff/groff/groff.cc , added gzcat command before soelim; it

     previous one to apply the dumb patch.
     Thanx to Taketoshi Sano for the right patch!

     unstable: uploading something broken and ask for help to fix it,
     yeah!)

groff (1.15.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * re-enabled default font in Dvi.c, thanx to Kevin Ryde.
     closes: #63491, but opens probably some other i18n related bug,
     sigh.
   * changed version to 1.15.3 (waiting for 1.16 :-) to be grater than
     the version in slink and than the one in potato.
     This means that I must reupload the sources ... which were gone from
     woody anyway (why it's possible?).
   * Applyed patch submitted by Tomohiro KUBOTA:
     * Added a new device type 'ascii8', which is 8 bit clean (like latin1)
       but does not use Latin-1 character for hyphenation and so on (like
       ascii).  This device is intended to be used for codesets other than
       ASCII and ISO-8859-1.  This device should be temporal till all
       charsets (ISO-8859-*, KOI8-R, EUC-KR, EUC-ZH, TIS620, and so on so on)
       in the world are implemented, though this is almost impossible.
     * Added a new character 'sy', which is soft hyphen.  This character is
       defined only for latin1 device.  This 'sy' is used for hyphenation
       instead of [char173], because [char173] may not be a soft hyphen,
       though [char173] is a soft hyphen in ISO-8859-1.
       Tomohiro KUBOTA <kubota@debian.or.jp>  Wed, 19 Apr 2000 23:47:18 +0900

groff (1.10-3.5) stable; urgency=high

   * Compiled under debian-1.3.1 (libc5) as a security bugfix; used
      version number 3.5 (instead of 5) to avoid downgrading for hamm.
   * Avoided execution of arbitrary code embedded in documents;
      added warning WARN_SECURITY, enabled by default, to warn about .sy
      directives, but not yet documented in manpage. Warning mode enabled
      by default via ifdef, should be toggled by option flag. (need
      coordination with upstream maintainer.)
   * Applied patch from Brian Mays <bem5r@virginia.edu> to pic/tex.cc to
      cast a long double value to double (fixes #13788)
   * Changed name of manpages me and msafer to groff_me and groff_msafer.
