Ideally each man page renderer would highlight references, but currently some rely on styles in the page itself. * man/help2man: Implement a --bold-refs option that will mark up references like "name(1)" with bold style around the "name" component. * man/local.mk: Pass --bold-refs to our help2man unless disabled. * configure.ac: Add a --disable-bold-man-page-references option.

Use the dummy-man page generator if cross compiling. Set TZ to avoid a distcheck failure where man pages used a diffent month than those rebuilt (with a .timestamp). * man/dummy-man: Only fall back to generating a stub if copying an existing man page fails. * man/help2man: Sync portable TZ=UTC0 specification from upstream help2man. * NEWS: Mention the build-related change.

Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway. 2015-11-27T11:42:53Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2015-11-27T11:13:06Z urn:sha1:93e83ff52f3af65023f7a95fb0f79e660603ebe3 Sync with version 1.47.3 which provides these significant changes: - support for reproducible builds by using $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. - Adjust spacing of italic text at roman/italic boundaries. 2014-09-11T09:53:06Z Pádraig Brady P@draigBrady.com 2014-09-10T10:53:50Z urn:sha1:e8715100cb2824fbd8ec724728a21fffdbcdb9f5 * src/system.h (emit_ancillary_info): Add a direct reference to the corresponding online info documentation. Corresponding redirects were put in place on www.gnu.org to allow for concise links. * help2man: Adjust to add the "online help" link (and subsequent translation bugs link) to a "REPORTING BUGS" section. Also add the concise links for further information in --help to the "SEE ALSO" section, and dispense with the more verbose default for that. 2013-09-12T06:02:22Z Bernhard Voelker mail@bernhard-voelker.de 2013-09-11T22:02:33Z urn:sha1:b3578fc9ffe70b9466687f9f6470a85f1a0ab14f Commit cde1ea0e separated the coreutils-specific patches from help2man. Most changes had been made to accommodate to the coreutils style guide, i.e., to avoid syntax-check failures like sc_long_lines. Yet 2 changes had to be put into the patch help2man.diff. But this added the dependency to patch(1) in distribution builds. Incidentally, the 2 remaining parts of the patch can easily be done outside of help2man. Therefore, this commit partly reverts the recent separation of help2man into 'help2man.in' and 'help2man.diff', and instead uses the original help2man script. * man/help2man.in: Rename to ... * man/help2man: ... this file. * man/help2man.diff: Remove. * man/local.mk (mandeps): Remove man/help2man. (man/help2man): Remove recipe. (.x.1): Add the --info-page option when calling help2man in order to change the name of the texinfo manual from the default, "info PRG", to "info coreutils 'PRG invocation'". Furthermore, use an sed pattern to remove the sentence starting with "For complete documentation". * .gitignore (/man/help2man): Remove entry. * .x-update-copyright: Replace the entries for the files 'man/help2man.diff' and 'man/help2man.in' by 'man/help2man'. * cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Instead of 'man/help2man.in', exempt 'man/help2man' from this test. (sc_po_check): Likewise. (sc_space_tab): Instead of 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man' from this test. (sc_trailing_blank): Likewise. (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of 'man/help2man.in' and 'man/help2man.diff', exempt 'man/help2man'. * man/dummy-man: Recognize the option --info-page=... as no-op. 2013-09-09T20:52:18Z Bernhard Voelker mail@bernhard-voelker.de 2013-08-02T06:28:50Z urn:sha1:54a155a37ea2736671bbbf5bf45446425314a77a Instead of diverging further from the upstream GNU help2man project (http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/), hold a copy of the original script and keep track of our changes in a separate patch file. The man pages created with the new version show the following, non-invasive differences: a) command options in the EXAMPLE sections are no longer in bold format, b) file names are underlined now consistently. * man/help2man: Rename to ... * man/help2man.in: ... this file, and update content from the upstream GNU help2man project. * man/help2man.diff: Add patch file for help2man to remove the sentence "For complete documentation ..." (see commit 5d4f09d8), and to emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man pages (77abf69a). * man/local.mk (mandeps): Add help2man to the dependencies of the man pages. (man/help2man): Add rule to generate this script from the upstream help2man.in file and the help2man.diff patch. * .gitignore: Add man/help2man as it is no longer version controlled. * cfg.mk (sc_long_lines): Exempt help2man.in from this check. (sc_po_check): Likewise. (sc_space_tab): Likewise. (sc_trailing_blank): Exempt man/help2man.diff from this check. (sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation): Instead of help2man, now exempt both help2man.in and help2man.diff from this test. * .x-update-copyright: Add new file and add the above new help2man files as well as the COPYING file.
