Follow-up Comment #4, bug #64619 (project groff): Not sure why you interpret
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273903 as being mad. That's merely a list of things FreeBSD needs to deal with when upgrading to groff-1.23, and it happens to be public. It's normal that a major version upgrade of software that is actively used requires some work. For upgrading groff in OpenBSD ports, i know that the list of issues i will have to deal with will be *much* longer than that, but i'm not planning to make that list public. Regarding https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273599 that particular (very minor) issue actually goes away if groff follows my recommendation of no longer validating OS release numbers. Regarding colonization, there is a summary at https://mandoc.bsd.lv/ports.html Most BSDs plus illumos use mandoc as the formatting engine, but for apropos(1), man(1), and man.cgi(8), which implementation various BSD systems use varies wildly. As far as i'm aware, the only systems using mandoc by default in *all four* capacities are OpenBSD and Void Linux. One reason why Wolfram Schneider probably cares about this is that he is the maintainer of the old Perl4 man.cgi(8) that FreeBSD is still using, and which, i believe, is running groff under the hood: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi/source _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64619> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
