Re: docbook2x: collision with docbook-utils andcommonprogram-transform-name

Peter Volkov — 2008-05-31T06:37:59

Hello Daniel. I was waiting a bit for other opinions but still no answers... В Вск, 25/05/2008 в 14:02 +0200, Daniel Leidert пишет: Well we are not alone with this problem :) Ok, then this is not a solution. Your mail did not get mailing list so Steve could miss your mail thus I've added him to CC list now. Uh I've mixed names. Our package is called app-text/docbook-sgml-utils. But yes it's the same as docbook-utils. I've changed the subject to better reflect name. I was not aware about pre-history of these packages. I'm curious now, why maintainers of didn't change names in docbook-utils? It seems rather hard (as too many packages depend on docbook-utils in Gentoo: http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/app-text/docbook-sgml-utils ) but still possible to change names in docbook-utils and naming is rather obvious, taking your suggestion as an example - docbooksgml2man and docbooksgml2texi as this package works with sgml only and only docbook2man and docbook2texi collide. What do you thing about this? On the other hand I have not problems with your suggestion... P.S. I've just found that there is a list for inter-distribution communication: distributions< at >lists.freedesktop.org May be we should raise this problem there to try to get responses from other distributors too?

Seems that we found the issue. That was missing dependency on dev-perl/XML-LibXML which was not mentioned in installation instructions. In any was thanks for your time, and may be you have some comments :)

docbook2x: collision with sgml-common-utils andcommonprogram-transform-name

Peter Volkov — 2008-05-21T08:19:43

Hello, guys. There exists file collision between sgml-common-utils and docbook2x packages and that's why most distributions use --program-transform-name to make different naming of programs in docbook2x. Recently I've received bug report that our naming convention does not follow debian one. I've checked few other distributions and found that they use: AltLinux: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/' Redhat EL, Fedore: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/' Debian: --program-transform-name="s/^docbook2/docbook2x-/" OpenSuse: just moves files to docbook-to-man and docbook-to-texi Mandriva: does nothing Gentoo: --program-transform-name='s,$docbook2.*$,\1.pl,' So what I'm looking for is some consistent naming that we could agree on and ask upstream to add some notes into their package. Personally I like names which starts with the same name as original utility to simplify search of necessary tool in shell (with tab competition). But what do you think about this? What upstream can suggest? P.S. It's not always obvious for me if I picked up correct maintainer, so in case I did mistake, please, forward this mail to correct maintainer in your distribution. Thank you. With best regards,

literal layout in funcsynopsisinfo

Baurzhan Ismagulov — 2007-10-01T15:34:28

Hello, I need to have multiple #include lines in funcsynopsisinfo, as in socket(2). With docbook2man from Debian's docbook-utils 0.6.14, I get funcsynopsisinfo translated as \fB #include #include This makes all #includes formatted as one line. socket(2) uses .B #include .br #include How can I do this with docbook2man? Thanks in advance,

Is docbook2x under active development?

Noah Slater — 2007-08-10T15:13:34

Hey, Is docbook2x under active development? I am currently using docbook2x as a critical component with a GNU package. GNU are also using docbook2x to format many texi files for a large amount of packages. I have submitted a number of bugs at the sourceforge project but nothing seems to be happening with them - perhaps I have been submitting them to the wrong place? Thank you, Noah

Where *exactly* do I add this? Sorry, totally naive about this stuff. I tried adding it to my xml imput but get: /usr/bin/db2x_xsltproc -s texi -o /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.txml /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.xml-info /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.xml-info:295: namespace error : Namespace prefix xsl on template is not defined ^ /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.xml-info:296: namespace error : Namespace prefix xsl on text is not defined PLplot ^ /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.xml-info:299: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document ^ unable to parse /export/home/orion/fedora/plplot/devel/plplot-5.7.3/fedora/doc/docbook/src/plplotdoc.xml-info Do I need to modify the texi stylesheet directly? I this case I cannot modify the installed version, I would need to make a copy and somehow point db2x_xsltproc to that version. Makes sense.

Re: Help with info page generation

Steve Cheng — 2007-07-05T17:23:53

Yes, but it requires a little stylesheet customization. You can add this small template: PLplot (I haven't yet tested this myself, I'll try to do when I get back home this weekend.) In all likelihood, I will also just make it the default, in the next version of docbook2X, to use the "abbreviated" titles for the directory entry. Hope this helps, and if you need further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. -- Steve Cheng 鄭君博 http://www.gold-saucer.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
