Re: early adopters of groff 1.23.0

[Alexis]

Hello all,

after having tested the RCs on darwin nixpkgs for the past weeks
and seeing the message about the 1.23.0 source archive being available
I felt the time was right to create a GitHub Pull-Request¹ and update
the groff package on NixOS and nixpkgs.

Folks reviewing said PR have reported potentially related man-db
test failures caused by:

  grotty:<standard input>:(<standard input>):9: warning:
  unrecognized X command 'sgr 0' ignored

which might be due to bug #61561:

  [grotty] remove 'sgr' device control command²

Does anyone have more context on this and is willing to share
their take on it and how to possibly fix the test failures
should they be related to the update to groff 1.23.0?


Regardless of any NixOS/nixpkgs related woes:
Thank you for all the work and effort put into the release!!


Best
Alexis
