2008-06-26First pass at removing clauses 3 and 4 from NetBSD licenses.Ray Lai
Not sure what's more surprising: how long it took for NetBSD to catch up to the rest of the BSDs (including UCB), or the amount of code that NetBSD has claimed for itself without attributing to the actual authors. OK deraadt@

2000-10-30libexec man page fleshing. again, bored on the plane home.Aaron Campbell
2000-04-23With perl 5.6.0, GetOpt::Std is functional, use it.Marc Espie
Add -p (prick) and -t (test) option. reword error handling as follows: makewhatis tries harder to find section and/or subject lines in man pages, even when the formatting is slightly incorrect. -p mode diagnoses problems. -t can be used to quickly test a new man page. Approved by millert@. aaron@ would like `The options are as follows...' style, but: - I don't think this would be as clear, - he hasn't come up with actual replacement text yet... At least this is accurate documentation.

1999-07-07The proper order of the ``introductory'' macros in a man page is .Dd/.Dt/.Os.Aaron Campbell
Out of the approximately 1450 man pages, only about 90 of them were wrong. Thanks to kwesterback@home.com for coming up with a script and patch to repair this. The patch also inserted a .Os macro in the few man pages that were missing one.

1997-11-13From NetBSD:Todd C. Miller
makewhatis.sh rewrite by mrg@netbsd.org that uses getNAME(8). Much faster for unformatted man pages now that there is no need to format them on the fly. Removes duplicate inode entries, so files with multiple hard links are only parsed once. OpenBSD changes: set $PATH to a reasonable value avoid /tmp races via mktemp(1) obey $TMPDIR
