[PATCH] maint: run groff(1) when lint-ing man pages


From: Bernhard Voelker
Subject: [PATCH] maint: run groff(1) when lint-ing man pages
Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2023 15:10:19 +0200

Newer troff(1) complains about the TE macro:
  find/find.1:908: warning: tbl preprocessor failed, or it or soelim \
    was not run; table(s) likely not rendered (TE macro called with  \
    TW register undefined)

* build-aux/man-lint.sh: Change from troff(1) to groff(1).
