Description
groff-1.19.2
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
LFS explicitly states why it sticks with _patched_ 1.18.1.1:
================== Apply the patch that adds the ascii8 and nippon devices to Groff:
zcat ../groff_1.18.1.1-10.diff.gz | patch -Np1
Note
These devices are used by Man-DB when formatting non-English manual pages that are not in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. Currently, there is no working patch for Groff-1.19.x that adds this functionality.
==================
So new versions of groff will be ignored. New Debian patches is what one should watch for, and there is no groff_1.18.1.1-11.diff.gz yet.
