| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bash-scripts.patch | The *2graph scripts use $RANDOM, which is bash-specific | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | yes | 2018-03-05 | ||
| nroff-ifs.patch | Unset IFS at nroff startup It's questionable whether we should forward this; as noted in the bug trail, there's a decent argument that this is a dash bug. |
Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | no | debian | 2018-03-05 | |
| doc-gfdl.patch | Add GFDL references to manual pages licensed under GFDL | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | not-needed | debian | 2023-07-08 | |
| doc-gzipped.patch | Adjust documentation references to account for compression | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | not-needed | debian | 2023-07-08 | |
| extratmacdirs.patch | Allow adding a version-independent directory to the macro path This allows us to put /usr/share/groff/tmac at the end of groff's macro path in Debian. This uses GNU-make-specific code, so it may not be forwardable in its current state. A more upstreamable approach might be to add a --with-* option to configure. |
Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | no | 2018-03-05 | ||
| papersize-config.patch | Use /etc/papersize in preference to configure-time selection | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | not-needed | 2023-07-09 | ||
| load-desc-failure.patch | Display more helpful output when failing to load a device If the device is known to be one of the devices in the groff binary package rather than groff-base, refer the user to that. |
Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | not-needed | 2023-07-08 | ||
| mmse-note.patch | Note that groff_mmse(7) is only available in Swedish locales | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | no | debian | 2023-07-08 | |
| source-date-epoch-utc.patch | Display time from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in UTC. The semantics imposed in 1.23.0 are unsuitable for use with reproducible-builds harnesses, since those specifically want to vary the TZ environment variable to shake out other problems in build systems. However, my patch that Debian has been carrying for a while is unsuitable for general use, since most people expect the time displayed in output to use local time. A viable compromise seems to be to force UTC _only_ when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set. That will keep reproducible-builds harnesses working with no extra effort, while also preserving the expected behaviour for typical users of groff that don't go out of their way to set that environment variable. As a bonus, this corrects the behaviour of gropdf when the local offset from UTC is not a whole number of hours. * src/include/curtime.h (current_time): Return a `struct tm *`. Document behaviour. * src/libs/libgroff/curtime.cpp (current_time): If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, return the overridden time after passing it through `gmtime`. Otherwise, pass the current time through `localtime`. * src/devices/grohtml/post-html.cpp (html_printer::do_file_components, html_printer::~html_printer): * src/devices/grops/ps.cpp (ps_printer::~ps_printer): * src/roff/troff/input.cpp (init_registers): Adjust to new `current_time` signature. * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, return the overridden time after passing it through `gmtime`. Otherwise, pass the current time through `localtime`. (PDFDate): Fix output in the case where the local offset from UTC is not a whole number of hours. (Previously, the minutes offset field was always set to zero.) * doc/groff.texi (Environment): * src/devices/grohtml/grohtml.1.man (Environment): * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.1.man (Environment): * src/devices/grops/grops.1.man (Environment): * src/roff/groff/groff.1.man (Environment): * src/roff/troff/troff.1.man (Environment): Update. |

| doc-default-os-debian.patch | Set doc-default-operating-system to "Debian" | Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> | not-needed | debian | 2023-07-09 | |
| man-hyperlinks.patch | Enable OSC 8 hyperlinks for man pages The version of `less` in Debian stable supports these, provided that you're also using a suitable terminal emulator. |

| check-fp.patch | [troff]: Fix Savannah #65427 (check fp==nullptr). * src/roff/troff/node.cpp (ascii_output_file::outc) (ascii_output_file::outs, put_string, troff_output_file::put) (ascii_output_file::really_transparent_char) (ascii_output_file::really_print_line): Guard uses of standard C library `putc()` and `fputc()` functions with a null pointer check. They could fail if the output stream has been invalidated. Problem present from groff's birth and apparently exposed by man-db man's use of AppArmor. See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/2055402> and follow-up discussion there. Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65427>. Thanks to an anonymous submitter for the report. No apparent performance degradation, even _without_ optimization, on 20 rebuilds of automake.pdf, contrib/mom/examples/*.pdf, and groff-man-pages.pdf.

| ms-pic.patch | [ms]: Fix Savannah #64438. * tmac/s.tmac (@PS): Stop treating excess arguments as erroneous, foregoing preparation for pic(1) output. Fixes regression from groff 1.22.4. Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64438>. Thanks to Doug McIlroy for the report, Dave Kemper for root-cause analysis, and Deri James for usability feedback. |
