Apparently he handed off maintainership: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg24435.html And indeed, he's listed as comaintainer at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/maintaining.html I dunno what the keys are for updating kernel.org/doc/man-pages. Many moons ago (http://landley.net/hg/kdocs) I used to maintain kernel.org/doc but I lost access after that whole kernel.org breakin and the move to kgit or whatever that nonsense was, since I could no longer rsync https://landley.net/kdocs up to the site. I at least made puppy eyes at konstantin until he hacked up something for https://kernel.org/doc/html/ and https://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ and so on to update, and hey, he even salvaged the README finder, cool. Although my https://web.archive.org/web/20120121090059/http://www.kernel.org/doc/menuconfig/ Horrible Python Script was beyond him and he wound up just removing that... Anyway, back when I _did_ have access I created a man-pages subdirectory that Konstantin chowned so mkerrisk could write to it, but I dunno what he used to update it? Especially after I lost the ability to do so. (They wanted me to do some sort of "check your thing into git and it'll do an automated git checkout", and I was going "you took down Greg KH's 2 gigabyte tutorial video so I was gonna mirror it until it could get better hosting, do you really want that permanently in the git history even after I delete it again?" I blogged quite sarcastically about this at the time...) Ha, the c99 html link is a bit stale there. I mean it's still there, but dude... Oh, the "legacy reasons" link moved, I'll ping konstantin. Huh, several of the links further down are broken now, not sure what to do about the linux-journal archives. The individual articles are still there but the index isn't... > which is pretty debilitating for anyone who > doesn't have a local git clone of man-pages.git, which is "basically > everyone" :-( ) The new guy says it moved to: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/ >> Good grief, the Bell Labs Unix v1 was the ONLY 6-bit version of Unix, V2 was >> the >> port to PDP-11 (in 1971) and they NEVER LOOKED BACK.

Does this mean the stupid compiler "optimizing" out explicit checks for signed integer overflow will STOP DOING THAT?
