Illumos mandoc import

[Michael Dexter]

Hello all,

In case you did not see this, it appears that Illumos (formerly
OpenSolaris) imported mandoc four days ago:

Wow.  I did not see this, thanks for the pointer!

That is certainly good news.  Who would have thought it -
communication to Illumos only progressed haltingly in the
past, and they never seemed very active from an outside
position.  All the better if that changes...

It seems strange that they chose to import mandoc-1.12.1
which is more than two years old by now.

They discuss -mdoc -Tman in the rational for this step,
but that old version still has a -Tman that is barely useable
in practice.  They also discuss -Tuft8, and 1.12.2 and 1.12.3
have various fixes related to that.

Well, no doubt they will update over time not that the first
step has been done.

Yours,
  Ingo
