Gidday,
Some news:
* man-pages now has an (irregularly updated) blog.
http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/
* man-pages now has a website:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages
The site includes HTML versions of the current set of man-pages.
* Since man-pages-2.69, each man page now includes a COLOPHON
section at the end of the page which indicates the version of
man-pages in which this page is released, and also contains a
pointer to the man-pages web site.
Back to the program as usual...
The Linux man-pages maintainer proudly announces:
man-pages-2.73.tar.gz - man pages for Linux
This release is now available for download at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages

some work has been done to improve the HTML used for the online pages
(http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online_pages.html ).
