Follow-up Comment #6, bug #40967 (project groff):

OK. Then this bug should be left open to indicate that there is still work to
be done. Although I'm the submitter, there does not appear to be a way for me
to reopen it.

I simply don't have the time (and admittedly a certain lack of interest also)
to take care of that. Sorry.

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #40967 (project groff):

I note that one of the non-Bjarni patches in this list was not applied:

patch: resubmitted -me documentation fixes
12 Nov 2013 01:19:46 -0600
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-groff/2013-11/msg00007.html

Are there problems with this patch that prevent its being applied to the git
repository?

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #40967 (project groff):

The patch from Dave <barx> hat not yet been applied.

My patches from this time can be considered now as applied, if not I or
others will rediscover them.

Follow-up Comment #9:

Reassigning to self. As Bjarni said, likely many of these have been fixed
recently or rendered inapplicable.

But as I'm the cause of a lot of recent changes to in-tree documentation, and
I didn't know this collection of fixes existed, I'm curious to review them and
see if any stragglers are left behind.

Reassigning to self.

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #40967 (project groff):

As far as I know, only the patch mentioned in comment #4 hasn't been applied.
I'm attaching an updated version of it that works with the latest code in git.

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #40967 (project groff):

I've modified the patch again; it now only affects the files doc/meintro.me
and doc/meref.me. It no longer adds text to tmac/groff_me.7.man: this man
page provides a terse high-level overview, and the level of detail my previous
patch added was inappropriate for that.

If anyone applies this fourth version of this seven-year-old patch -- or gives
feedback on what about it needs to be improved -- I'll contact the
meintro_fr.me translator and ask him to translate the added text for that
file. (I considered contacting him preemptively to get a translation to add
to the patch, but since this patch has been in limbo since I submitted the
first version in 2011 [at which time doc/meintro_fr.me didn't exist], there's
little point in getting a translation until someone reviews the English
wording and accepts the patch.)

If you like ancient history, the patch originated by request from Werner
Lemberg: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2011-07/msg00033.html

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #40967 (project groff):

I've reviewed the changes and they look fine.

I actually think it is all right to have the change to groff_me.7.man; a
behavior change to a low-level request is surprising enough that it's worth
calling out, in my view.

I'm doing a build now and A/Bing the affected output documents.

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #40967 (project groff):

Thanks for applying this. I've emailed Grégoire about the translation.
Possibly this bug report should be left open as a reminder that that still
should be added. Alternately, I can open a new bug report for that, since
this one covers a lot of ground and everything else here has been addressed.

Hi Dave,

Yes--please file a new bug for the translation update.

With any luck we can get it folded into 1.22.4 final.

Thanks again for your patience with this issue.
