Thanks for your pleasant comments. Please send future abuse to /dev/null. Getting groff into a distributed VCS so that I can more easily hack on it locally is in fact the first stage for me in figuring out how to get the Debian packages updated without regressing things for Japanese users: i.e. completing the character-class work that Brian Carlson started but hasn't yet had time to finish. I've also recently been adjusting man-db to cope more appropriately with groff 1.20, which is also a prerequisite. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
