  • Date: 2008-08-17 22:42:28 UTC
  • Revision ID: teddy@fukt.bsnet.se-20080817224228-nhor2yuv230if01i
* Makefile (DOCBOOKTOMAN): Use the local manpages/docbook.xsl file, do
                           not rely on a stylesheet declaration.

* mandos.xml: Removed <?xml-stylesheet>.  New entity "&OVERVIEW;"
              refers to "overview.xml". Changed all single quotes to
              double quotes for consistency.
  (DESCRIPTION): Use the term "TLS" and not "GnuTLS" for the protocol.
                 Refer to the "OVERVIEW" section for reason for IPv6
                 link-local addresses.
  (PURPOSE): Shortened a lot.  Refer to "OVERVIEW" section for details.
  (OVERVIEW): New section.  Include &OVERVIEW; and add a paragraph
              about what the role of this program is.
  (SECURITY/CLIENTS): Refer to the "CHECKING" section for details on
                      checking.
  (SEE ALSO): Changed from an <itemizedlist> to a <variablelist>.
              Added a short text for each entry.  Removed reference to
              plugin-runner(8mandos).  Add reference to RFC 4291 and
              RFC 4346.

* overview.xml: New file, containing a single <para>.  The idea is to
                use this in all the man pages.

* plugins.d/password-request.c: Updated comments about spurious
                                warnings.
