            Bug ID: 273565
           Summary: latest groff 1.23.0 is incompatible with FreeBSD
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org

There is a new groff release 1.23.0. It contains a tiny change, the parameter
-man no longer works as expected,  you have to use -mandoc now.

Unfortunately, this breaks some of our core tools, contrib and ports.

This will affect all FreeBSD releases/branches (12/13/14/15) that we support. A
possible workaround is to downgrade the groff port to 1.22.4 locally.

for our src repository:

git grep -l 'roff.* -man[^d]'
contrib/byacc/aclocal.m4
contrib/byacc/configure
contrib/dialog/makefile.in
contrib/ee/ee.1
contrib/ldns/makewin.sh
