- Update to version 6.00
* Updated manual pages and interface documentation
* Move definitions of types to separate pages in man2type/ and
man3type/. Previously, they were spread (and duplicated) in other
pages, or in system_data_types.7 (with links in man3/).
* Add man3head/ for pages that document header files.
* Add man3const/ for pages that document constants.
* Improve consistency of man(7) source
* Manual pages sections:
* Title (.TH):
* Remove 5th argument to TH (middle-header).
* Specify "Linux man-pages" and the version in the 4th argument
(left-footer).
* Add the LIBRARY section. This section standardizes a way to
document the library that provides a given interface.
* Add the CAVEATS section. BUGS and NOTES were serving that purpose
before, but CAVEATS is more appropriate.
* Rename the CONFORMING TO section to STANDARDS for consistency with
other projects, such as the BSDs.
* SYNOPSIS: Add the ISO C2X [[deprecated]] attribute for functions
that have been deprecated or removed.
* EXAMPLES: Improve consistency of C source code. Also, reduce the
number of warnings that several linting tools emit.
* COLOPHON: Remove section (its purpose is now served by the title).
- Update to version 6.01
* Updated interface documentation
* Manual pages' sections:
* Title (.TH):
* Remove the hardcoded date (TH 3rd argument), and replace it by a
placeholder that should be changed when creating the tarball.
This removes the need for a tstamp commit before each release.
- Update to version 6.02
* Updated manual pages and interface documentation, noteable:
* copy_file_range.2: Fix wrong kernel version information
* process_madvise.2: Fix capability and ptrace requirements
* madvise.2: Update Transparent Huge Pages file/shmem documentation
for Linux 5.4+.
* Use correct letter case in manual page titles, instead of uppercase.
* Use \" t comments when appropriate (Lintian needs this).
* SYNOPSIS:
* Add _Nullable for functions that receive NULL as a meaningful
input.
* Use VLA syntax to clarify the meaning of size parameters, rather
than hiding it in possibly-confusing text.
* Use [[noreturn]] instead of noreturn, which will be deprecated
soon.
- Rebased man-pages-tcp_fack.patch
- Added keyring and signed source (forwarded request 1045577 from susnux)
