man-pages MT attributes status / update
Hello Ma Shimiao
Now that you have started sending patches that bring the man-pages and glibc MT-safety into agreement, I think we'll soon be ready to release a lot of pent up patches (~350!) into a mainline man-pages release. My thanks to you and you colleagues at Fujitsu for all of this work!
I imagine that there are still some remaining differences between the man-pages and glibc MT-safety markings. Do you have an idea of how many pages remain to be fixed?
By the way, as far as I can tell, we now have all man-pages attributes markings in the "new look" boxed format. Can you confirm?
With all of the preceding in mind, I've done a bit of Git reorganization. I've removed the 'attributes_reformat_2' branch at http://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git . In its place, there is now a new branch 'mt_attributes'. I made that change for a couple of reasons:
1. I rebased the changes in the attributes_reformat' branch against man-pages-3.77. In the process, I resolved a handful of conflicts, and as a result of the rebase the SHA-1 IDs changed.
2. Into 'mt_attributes', I have merged all of the other MT-safety patches that were in a private branch that I was running. These were the patches in the last few months that added ATTRIBUTES to pages that did not have them.
I hope that switching to the new branch does not present any inconvenience to you. Of course, with this change, now the 'mt_attributes' branch shows all of the patches from you and your colleagues that I have merged. With luck, the view in that branch should be completely consistent with your local copy.
Cheers,
Michael

I think there are still 24 pages need to be fixed. I hope I can finish them in this week.

There is a page man3/iconv.3 which is still not in the "new look". Peng has sent a patch to fix it at 10/14/2014 03:39 PM, but the patch has not been applied.
