Let me start by saying that this isn't in fact accurate - for example, https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/mercurial-common/index.html was generated in November, and https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/mercurial-common/hg-verify.1.en.html on December 1st. It is, however, fair to say that many pages report a generation date of October 21st and I believe one can find a likely reason using only breadcrumbs from https://manpages.debian.org itself. The index page links to both https://manpages.debian.org/about.html and https://wiki.debian.org/manpages.debian.org , and each of those pages in turn reference the use of https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/ The most recently reported issue in the Github repo is https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/181 - "Testing version doesn't sync with archive after migration", which sounds likely to be related. Indeed, reading through the comments, a forced regeneration was performed on October 21st, explaining why many pages were modified on that date. The most recent public activity on that issue is also from October, so I don't know if there's been any further progress towards a solution. Regards, Adam (not a manpages.d.o maintainer)
