Comment:
> Thank you for your inputs. The `libgroff` package in Void wasn't actually shipping `libgroff.a`, rather the following files (i.e., everything installed under "$destdir/usr/lib")

Ah, thanks, I had forgotten about those since refactoring them away.

> The changelog mentions that groffer/*, groff_opts_{no,with}_arg.txt, and grog/subs.pl were all removed. Although not sure about the other ones.

Yes, `grog`, `groffer`, `gpinyin`, and `glilypond` (all written by the same contributor) had a similar structure, and on the _groff_ development mailing list we thought it would be simpler if these programs all became stand-alone scripts.  So everything they need is now embedded in their executables in `$DESTDIR/bin`.  Except for `groffer`, which we withdrew entirely.

You didn't find them in the `ChangeLog` because items in the `contrib` directory in _groff_'s source distribution (usually) maintain their own change log files as a consequence of their somewhat independent history.  [Our LICENSES file](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/LICENSES?h=1.23.0#n31) suggests the basis for this, and [our HACKING file](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/HACKING?h=1.23.0#n46) covers it explicitly.

The Git history is probably easier to search because it records the changes to *everything* in one place.

    [glilypond]: Make script stand alone.
    
    * contrib/glilypond/args.pl:
    * contrib/glilypond/oop_fh.pl
    * contrib/glilypond/subs.pl: Delete, moving their content into...
    * contrib/glilypond/glilypond.pl: ...here.  Also bump overall license to
      GPLv3 from GPLv2 because all of the deleted files were GPLv3.
    * contrib/glilypond/glilypond.am (dist_glilypond_DATA): Delete.
```

    * contrib/gpinyin/gpinyin.am (dist_gpinyin_DATA): Delete.

Does this help?
