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.
Yup. BTW, that reminds me I need to ask how to update that website. Now that everything goes back to normal, I don't need to; but still should know how to.
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. ForHeh, including me ;)
Which part of that text includes you? "interested in reading up-to-date pages"? Or "need releases"? Or both? :-)
individuals, I recommend getting a copy of my manual pages' git repo and `make install`.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. But you seem to have access to the official man-pages project now, which is good to know.
Yup. Sorry, I was a bit lazy :)
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!Thanks for your hard, voluntary work!

BTW, I just released a signed git tag in my repo, to make it a bit more secure to know that you're getting my manual pages, and not some MITM fake stuff. <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/src/alx/linux/man-pages/man-pages.git/tag/?h=man-pages-5.19-rc1> My PGP key is signed by mtk. Only trust it if it has his signature. I'm attaching it in this email, so that it can be found in the list (I'm having some issue with the keyserver).I can spot it on the official git tree [2] as well, essentially via alx/main. Nice.
Yes, and soon in master. :) Still far from a release, however; I need help with that. Cheers, Alex -- Alejandro Colomar <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
