From 0e7850eb8d6d22feaef51054e703e017658e54ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Pfaff Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:58:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] dist-docs: Fix text and HTML manpage generation with some groff versions. Some versions of groff use termcap sequences for bold, italic, etc. by default. The dist-docs script doesn't cope with those; it expects sequences based on backspacing and overprinting. This commit fixes the problem by setting an environment variable GROFF_NO_SGR that forces groff to use backspacing. Found on Fedora.
