RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

zif.sgml - the source for a manpage

Description of problem:
rpmlint complained about the manpage generated by docbook2man in this package review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=631763#c6

The warning was:
manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man1/zif.1.gz 1: warning: `\"' not defined

The warning can be reproduced using a command like this:
gtbl < zif.1 | groff -mtty-char -Tutf8 -P-c -mandoc -mandoc -wmac >/dev/null
(where zif.1 was generated by docbook2man from the attached source)

groff does not like the first line in the file:
.\\" auto-generated by docbook2man-spec $Revision: 1.2 $

I believe the correct form would be:
.\" auto-generated by docbook2man-spec $Revision: 1.2 $

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
docbook-utils-0.6.14-23.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate a manpage from the attached source using docbook2man
2. verify it using the command mentioned above (that's basically what rpmlint uses)
  
Actual results:
a warning is produced

Expected results:
no warnings
