Nope, I ship these by hand every one in a while. But they're generated
from a database of patches and error codes that I've accumulated as I've
worked on doclifter. I suppose that's a bit bottish :-).
Actually, you can consider yourselves part of a...privileged...few. Only
about 5% of man pages have the sorts of defects my validator catches. Here
are more precise figures from my latest torture test, run just an hour ago
on a full Fedora Core 6 installation:
Total: 13462
Pages throwing errors: 31 (.0023%)
Pages throwing warnings: 642 (4.7%)
Patched: 499 (3.71%)
Pages validating with patches: 13431 (99.77%)
Pages validating without patches: 12932 (96.06%)
I think I shipped about 20 defect notices this round.
