And of course, that also means no releases since 5.13.
I'm not very concerned about this, since in essence, a fork of the manual pages is still very well maintained on my server, and free for anyone interested in reading up-to-date pages. And since I do this on a hobby basis (my company doesn't pay me to do this at all), I don't care at all about not having released in almost a year now. That's more of a problem for distros and companies, which need releases. For individuals, I recommend getting a copy of my manual pages' git repo and `make install`.
I applied recently for a kernel.org account, so maybe the official repo can be maintained again soon. Still, I don't expect releasing soon even if I get access to kernel.org and can update the git repo. I need to learn how to do a release properly before I'll release a new version, and that will take a lot more effort and time from my side than updating the repo.
Thanks for your patience! Cheers, Alex -- Alejandro Colomar <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
