Gidday,
Repeating some old news:
* 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.
* The list [email protected] has been created for
the purpose of discussing Linux man page bugs, patches,
and maintenance. To subscribe, send a message to
[email protected], with the body:
subscribe linux-man
Back to the news as usual...
I recently released man-pages-2.71 and man-pages-2.72.
These releases are now available for download at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
(Note the s/manpages/man-pages/ in these paths;
a symlink with the old path will exist for
a limited time.)
Changes in these releases can be seen at
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html#release_2.71
and
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html#release_2.72
Many of the changes in these releases consist of formatting and consistency
fixes. A few of the changes that may be of interest to readers of this
list are summarized below.
Cheers,
Michael
(man-pages maintenance is supported by Google, as a Google engineer 20%
project.)

A fairly significant rewrite to clarify operation of abort().
