Ruslan Ermilov c8c215e682 Pull up all vendor changes to mdoc(7).
This also replaces the local fix in r219209 that made .Ac emit
ASCII angle quotes with an official fix.  In the official fix,
ASCII quotes are output when using the .Aq, .Ao and .Ac calls,
but only when nested into the .An macro.

VERSION Flatten out vendor tree. 2010-01-15 12:01:25 +00:00

This is the GNU `groff' document formatting system.  The version
number is given in the file VERSION.

Included in this release are implementations of `troff', `pic', `eqn',
`tbl', `grn', `refer', `-man', `-mdoc', `-mom', and `-ms' macros, and
drivers for `PostScript', `TeX dvi' format, `HP LaserJet 4' printers,
`Canon CAPSL' printers, `HTML' format (beta status), and
typewriter-like devices.  Also included is a modified version of the
Berkeley `-me' macros, the enhanced version `gxditview' of the X11
`xditview' previewer, and an implementation of the `-mm' macros
contributed by Joergen Haegg (jh@axis.se).

See the file `INSTALL' for installation instructions.  You will
require a C++ compiler.

The file `NEWS' describes recent user-visible changes to `groff'.

`groff' is free software.  See the file `COPYING' for copying
permission.

The file `PROBLEMS' describes various problems that have been
encountered in compiling, installing, and running `groff'.

The most recent released version of `groff' is always available by
anonymous ftp from `ftp.gnu.org' in the directory `gnu/groff'.

The current development version of `groff' is available from a `CVS'
repository.  You can access it by first selecting a parent directory
in which to create a working copy (call it, say, `~/cvswork'), and
then executing the commands

  cd ~/cvswork
  CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH
  cvs -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org/cvsroot/groff -z5 co groff

(Note that you need an `ssh' client for security reasons.)

This will create a subdirectory, `~/cvswork/groff', with a "checked
out" copy of the `CVS' repository.  An update of this working copy may
be achieved, at any later time by invoking the commands

  cd ~/cvswork/groff
  CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z5 update -dP

Please read the `CVS' info pages for further details.

Finally, it is possible to access the `CVS' with a web browser by
pointing it to

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=groff

Alternatively, you can download snapshots (which are updated twice a day).
The complete `groff' source as a single file is available at

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz

A diff file relative to `groff-<version>', the latest official `groff'
release is available at

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/devel/groff-<version>-current.diff.gz

Assuming that `groff-<version>.tar.gz' and
`groff-<version>-current.diff.gz' are in the same directory, do the
following to apply the diff file:

  tar xzvf groff-<version>.tar.gz
  cd groff-<version>
  gunzip -c ../groff-<version>-current.diff.gz | patch -p1

Depending on your requirements, you may need at least some of the
following tools to build `groff' directly from its source:

  ghostscript
  the psutils package
  the netpbm package
  texinfo 4.8
  bison >= 1.875b or byacc

Note that `texinfo' and `bison' or `byacc' are required only for
building from `CVS' sources (either a checked out working copy, or a
daily snapshot).  They are not required for building from a stable
release tarball.  Also note that the version numbers stated are the
minimum supported.  No version of `texinfo' < 4.8 will work, and the
original release of `bison' 1.875 is known not to work; you *may* find
that `bison' releases < 1.875 will work, but in case of difficulty,
please update to a later version *before* posting a bug report.

For *all* sources, you need ghostscript for creation of either `PDF' or
`HTML' output; the `netpbm' and `psutils' packages are required only for
`HTML' output.  If you don't intend to produce output in either of these
formats, then these packages are unnecessary.

In Linux Debian, the installation of `texinfo' is dangerous.  For it
creates a file `install-info' that will block the system installation.
So the created `/usr/local/bin/install-info' must be renamed.

The `groff' configure script searches for the X11 headers and
libraries `Xaw' and `Xmu'.  So the corresponding developer packages of
your system must be installed, otherwise `groff' does not install
`gxditview' and the `-TX*' devices.  In Debian, the developer packages
are `libxaw7-dev' and `libxmu-dev'.

Please report bugs using the form in the file `BUG-REPORT'; the idea of
this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix
the bug.  At the very least, read the `BUG-REPORT' form and make sure
that you supply all the information that it asks for.  Even if you are
not sure that something is a bug, report it using `BUG-REPORT': this will
enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.

Three mailing lists are available:

  bug-groff@gnu.org          for reporting bugs
  groff@gnu.org              for general discussion of groff
  groff-commit@gnu.org       a read-only list showing commitments
                             to the CVS repository

You can post mails directly to the `bug-groff' list, without subscribing;
to post mails to the `groff' list you must subscribe to it.

To subscribe, send a mail to <list>-request@<domain> (example:
groff-request@gnu.org for the `groff' list) with the word `subscribe'
in either the subject or body of the email (don't include the quotes).
Alternatively, you may subscribe by visiting the web pages at

  http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-groff
  http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
  http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff-commit

Each of these web pages also provides a link to a browseable archive of
postings to the corresponding mailing list.
