Possible update

I thought that this was cool enough that I tried it :)

In-progress scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6441737

I haven't explicitly checked that all of the deleted patches are really unnecessary.

Comment 2 Andy Lutomirski 2014-01-22 22:38:06 UTC
man-pages-posix-2003-awk.patch would still apply (if updated), but I'm not sure what the point is.  man 1p awk renders correctly for me without it.

man-pages-posix-2003-man.patch could also be forward-ported.  I'm not nearly familiar enough with summary databases to have any intelligent comment on it.  That being said, if the POSIX page is indeed wrong, I'm not sure why Fedora needs to correct it.

man-pages-posix-2003-printf.patch is similar.

man-pages-posix-2003-readlink3p.patch has been fixed upstream.

I'm confused.  What's fixed upstream?

Sorry -- I was confused, and misspoke.

man-pages-posix-2013-man.patch

Michael,

there's this one usable patch for posix man pages. It fixes broken formatting on man(1p) man page:

grep −Ei '
name
name
...
' summary-database

->

grep −Ei 'name name...' summary-database

Peter

Why do you think the formatting is broken? Looking at the PDF version of the stadard, thr formatting is similar.

Comment 10 Peter Schiffer 2014-01-30 13:21:51 UTC
Michael,

I see, you are right. I'm not sure about the origin of this patch in Fedora, however, newline in grep should be correct syntax for OR. In that case, the patch actually breaks the command. I'm going to drop the patch from Fedora..

Thanks.
