[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.6.2 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.6.2.

Description
-----------

man-db contains an implementation of the man command, which is the
primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages).  Other
utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching
the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual
page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and
zsoelim.  The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU
troff) to format and display the manual pages.

About this release
------------------

Along with a small handful of bug fixes, this release makes apropos much
faster when run with many arguments, and makes it possible to pass the
full path of an executable to whatis.

The source for this release is available in both .tar.gz and .tar.xz
formats.  Absent objections, future releases will only be available as
.tar.xz.

For full details, please see the files NEWS and ChangeLog in the source
distribution.
