And of course, that also means no releases since 5.13. Ah, that explains things. The man-page info page [1] was/is still pointing at that git tree, that's why I wondered what happened. >> >> 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.

The point I was missing is that there is a fork(). I haven't seen notice of that, that's why I asked. It might have been helpful to reply with something like "Patch applied to my man-pages git fork"., including an URL.

I can spot it on the official git tree [2] as well, essentially via alx/main. Nice.
