Hi Eric,

    devnag.1
    -\dn and converts it into a form with which TeX is familiar.
    +\\dn and converts it into a form with which TeX is familiar.

We've discussed that one already. It is (and has been) fixed in both the
TL sources and runtime, but apparently never gets updated in your
database :).

    List syntax error. This means .IP, .TP or .RS/.RE markup is garbled.

I take your word for it. Fix committed in TL r48008.
However, your change:

    +.Bl -bullet compact

FYI, the "compact" is not understood by either the unmodified upstream
GNU groff 1.22.3, or groff as distributed with CentOS 7 (fully patched).
Specifically, after applying your patch, the command:
    groff -man -t -rS11 synctex.1
results in the error:
  mdoc warning: Unknown keyword `compact' in .Bl macro (#17)
with both of those versions of groff.

For our purposes, I just left out the "compact". You may want to
adjust your setup not to suggest it. --best, karl.
