help2man (1.46.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Include architecture.mk and buildflags.mk into rules to replace the
multiple calls to dpkg-architecture and to pick up the correct
hardening flags.
* Add $(LDFLAGS) when building preload to pick up -z relro (see
https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening).
* Minor correction to Norwegian Bokmaal translation.
* Minor correction to Brazilian Portuguese translation.
* Escape dashes in --name flag for groff (see lintian tag:
hyphen-used-as-minus-sign).
* Fix example using AM_MISSING_PROG in documentation: this macro no
longer requires the third argument.
converters/help2man does not embed an rpath into bindtextdomain.so, and
it will fail PKG_DEVELOPER checks on platforms that don't have native
libintl like DragonFly. This was fixed back in July but the patch got
removed during the update to the current version.
Re-introduce the equivalent patch to fix the build on DragonFly.

Perhaps due to updated PKG_DEVELOPER checks, help2man begin to fail
during the install stage with this option set:
ERROR: lib/bindtextdomain.so: missing library: libintl.so.8
I checked the rpath definition of bindtextdomain; the only value was
provided by the system compiler. The LD_CONFIG hint file on DragonFly
provides /usr/pkg/lib as late runtime search path option, so the
libintl.so library would get found anyway if help2man was installed
without PKG_DEVELOPER=yes set.
The updated patch-aa adds ${prefix}/lib to bindtextdomain.so rpath so
it will pass PKG_DEVELOPER checks now.

* Move all translated text into .po files (previously .h2m include
files were handled seperately).
* Submit package to the Translation Project (translationproject.org).
* Add Vietnamese translation.
* Add some comments for translators.
Version 1.37 November 14, 2009
* Update GPL to v3.
* Add --version-string option.
* Add --no-discard-stderr option.
* Add line breaks into bug reporting section.
* Add Brazilian Portuguese and German translations.
* Select a reasonable configure default for --enable-nls.
* Revise preload mechanism to not require preloadable libintl.

help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from
program output.
It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a
manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that document.
Given a program which produces resonably standard --help and --version
outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something
which resembles a manual page.
