[groff] [PATCH] man page patches for 1.22.4.rc5/final


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [groff] [PATCH] man page patches for 1.22.4.rc5/final
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 11:46:43 -0500
User-agent: NeoMutt/20180716

It's starting to sound like (1) either there's going to be an rc5 or
we're about to close in on final; (2) there have been some other
documentation fixes committed since the beginning of the month; (3) I
don't want my local tree to get badly desynced from Savannah again and
(4) mom NEVER lets me commit any documentation fixes ( ;-) ), I figured
I'd summarize and attach my pending changes for opinions and review.

[1/9]    NEWS, man pages: Fix typos.
[2/9]    *.man: Regularize (sub)section cross references.
[3/9]    man pages: Set filespecs in italics, not bold.
[4/9]    groff_me(7): Prefix .TH release info with "groff".
[5/9]    man pages: Escape hyphens in filenames.
[6/9]    man pages: Hyphenate phrasal adjectives.
[7/9]    groff(1): DESC files describe devices, not fonts.
[8/9]    groff(1): Update "Availability" section.
[9/9]    troff(1): Fix bad grammar.

Most of these (all but #2 and #3) are very small.  You can find their
diffstats below.

#1 fixes a typo in a highly visible place.

#2 has the weakest case for a commit before release and I'm not
passionate about it.

#3 is a continuation of 1eb479103854518db2cc4254c1f2601c30be7380, from
28 November, when I checkpointed and halted work because of the release
freeze.

#4 would make the page's footer consistent with the other 60 pages.

#5, #6, and #9 are low-impact but don't scream with urgency.

#7 and #8 correct false (or misleading) information.  #8 in particular
corrects outdated information about our mailing lists.

Does anyone feel that any of these are important to get into the final
release?
