file .ck00MAN should not be in the tree

[filbo]

.ck00MAN is a build/install output file. Its presence means that the 'manifest check' does not run unless you answer in the non-default affirmative to the second question in this dialog:

You can call the Inventory script directly at any time to take
inventory.  You can inhibit the inventory step permanently by
creating the file ./.neverInv, and you can tell the Configure script
to skip the inventory and customization steps with the -n option.

Do you want to take inventory (y|n) [y]? 

======================================================================

The lsof distribution inventory in 00MANIFEST has already been checked.

Do you want to check the inventory again (y|n) [n]? 

Running it generates the following error outputs (minus all the success outputs):

Lack of running the manifest check has led to the manifest being out of date. lsof.8 is now Lsof.8, lsof.man is no longer being provided, and the empty directory dialects/uw/uw7/vm no longer exists. (These omissions affect the 'osr' and probably the 'osr6' and 'uw' Configure targets, but they aren't currently supported so that's OK. I can step up to support those targets, if that's OK.)

To fix:

1. remove .ck00MAN

2. add empty directory dialects/uw/uw7/vm

3. figure out what to do about lsof.8 vs Lsof.8:

• 00MANIFEST mentions Lsof.8
• all of the individual dialect Makefiles look for lsof.8
• Lsof.8 is used only by support/makeman; the whole support/ subdirectory appears to be Vic Abell's private lsof-FTP-site-maintenance suite

4. fix dialects/osr/Makefile to treat lsof.8 as other dialects do

I can submit changes later, just wanted to submit my findings before I lose track of them.

@filbo, are you interested in maintaining the uw dialect?

[filbo]

I can maintain the 'osr' (and 'osrgcc') dialect(s) with 10+ years experience working on that product; I can maintain 'osr6' and 'uw' with moderately passing familiarity + access to people with deep knowledge.

[masatake]

O.k. We should not delete osr and uw dialects as far as you are here.

[filbo]

I serious think you shouldn't delete any dialects. You have a list of supported dialects, which is shorter than the list of implemented dialects. If someone raises a bug about an unsupported dialect, the response is: ok, please fix it yourself (themself), or find a maintainer for it. Not 'rip it out'.

[masatake]

I don't agree with you. However, I, the person who wants to remove unmaintained dialects, don't have enough time for removing the dialects. So I think the removing will not be occurred in lsof-4.x series.

[masatake]

I have invited you to this organization.
