2017-01-14maint: modernize URLsPaul Eggert
A lot of this is converting http: to https:. 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.
2015-11-27doc: update to latest help2manPádraig Brady
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.
2014-09-11doc: reference online info pages directly from man pagesPádraig Brady
* 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.
2013-09-12maint: avoid patching help2manBernhard Voelker
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.
2013-09-09maint: update help2man to 1.43.3Bernhard Voelker
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.
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.

2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-09-21doc: mention the texinfo documentation in --helpPádraig Brady
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C' (and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page. Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command. Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it. * man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the --help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man. Suggestion from C de-Avillez
2009-02-02doc: preserve --help line breaks in 'REPORTING BUGS' man page sectionJim Meyering
* man/help2man: Insert .br between adjacent lines.
2009-01-27doc: restore "REPORTING BUGS" section to generated man pagesJim Meyering
* man/help2man ($PAT_BUGS): Update regexp to match the newer "Report PROG bugs ..." --help output, as well as "Report bugs...". Reported by Eric Blake.
2008-12-17doc: Remove curly quotes from shell examples in man pagesPádraig Brady
Use \(aq rather than a literal ' as groff will convert apostrophe to a right quote (\u2029) in utf8 locales for example. Stepan Kasal details the issue and fix here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-12/msg00124.html

2008-05-06help2man: fix perl 5.10 problem properlyJim Meyering
* man/help2man: Do pull LC_ALL via "use POSIX". Instead, limit the importing of gettext-related symbols to just those two we'll use: gettext and textdomain.
2008-05-05help2man: avoid failure with Debian unstable's Perl 5.10.0Jim Meyering
Avoid failure that produced this diagnostic: Constant subroutine main::LC_ALL redefined at /.../Exporter.pm * man/help2man: Don't include LC_ALL in the "use POSIX" list, since Locale::gettext->import will get it.
2008-01-26Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,Jim Meyering
rather than just "info PROG". The latter would often fail or simply display the man page. * man/help2man: Change the template. Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684
