Global changes
--------------
- Build system:
- [Breaking change!]
Require the user to pass '-R' to make(1). This is necessary to be
able to do the following change. When GNU make(1) releases a new
version, it will not be necessary to pass -R, but in current
versions of make(1) it is necessary.
- [Breaking change!]
Use '?=' assignments instead of ':=', to support setting make(1)
variables in the environment. Now one can do this:
$ export prefix=/usr
$ make -R
$ sudo make install -R
(The -R is only necessary in GNU make(1) versions prior to the
yet-unreleased 4.5.)
- Escape '#' in regexes, to support old versions of GNU make(1).
This fixes a regression in man-pages-6.10, which caused issues in
users with an old-enough version of GNU make(1), such as the one
present in Debian old-old-stable.
- Fix duplicate overview-panel entries in the PDF book.
- CONTRIBUTING.d/:
- Add C coding style guide.
- RELEASE:
- Document the production of the book.
- man/:
- Refresh bpf-helpers(7) from Linux v6.13.
