Stamp the versions on the pages at install time, instead of dist time. This change is important, because downstream packagers will need to `make install` instead of just copying the pages. The benefit of this is that downstream distributors are now able to set their own distro-specific version strings. The most common thing that I'd expect is setting a suffix such as '-1', which can be done with `make install EXTRAVERSION=-1`. Another benefit is that downstream patches that apply near the TH line will have to be refreshed less often, since the TH line will not necessarily change in every release. - Reorganize build system - Improve support for Darwin systems. - Remove any generated files (fonts) from the repository, and generate them at build time. - Various improvements to the generation of the PDF book. - man - Move manual pages to a new directory man/, so that they are now under man/man*/. Symlinks have been added for convenience. - git - Import pthread_*.3 link pages' git history from debian/glibc.git - CONTRIBUTING.d - Add help for using git-config(1), git-send-email(1), git-range-diff(1), and [neo]mutt(1). Changes to individual files --------------------------- The manual pages and other files in the repository have been improved beyond what this changelog covers.
