I have been trying for the past two days to install the necessary software
|
|
to update the Hebrew HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
I now understand that:
|
|
- Docbook 4 is not supported.
|
|
- The link to the db154.zip on the tool page is broken since that version
|
|
is no longer available on Welsh' website (IMHO).
|
|
- The big-howto-template-ld.sgml uses <!doctype linuxdoc system> but from
|
|
my reading of the mail archives the use of linuxdoc is now deprecated in
|
|
favor of pure docbook. In any case, there is no link anywhere in the
|
|
website to a linuxdoc.dtd. I am also not an expert in SGML (I started
|
|
learning it for this project) but shouldn't that line be
|
|
<!doctype system linuxdoc "linuxdoc.dtd">
|
|
|
|
Could you update the HOWTO-HOWTO to reflect this?
|
|
|
|
I think part of my problem is the version stuff in docbook visa vi
|
|
sgml-common. Maybe it would help if the HOWTO hardcoded the proper versions
|
|
of a known configuration that works, with names of the proper no-arch RPMs.
|
|
Here is what the redhat/updates site has to say:
|
|
|
|
Red Hat Linux 6.2:
|
|
|
|
Architecture neutral:
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/docbook-3.1-4.noarch.rpm">ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/docbook-3.1-4.noarch.rpm</A>
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/sgml-common-0.1-8.noarch.rpm">ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/sgml-common-0.1-8.noarch.rpm</A>
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/stylesheets-1.54.13rh-1.noarch.rpm">ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/noarch/stylesheets-1.54.13rh-1.noarch.rpm</A>
|
|
|
|
Source:
|
|
docbook-3.1-4.src.rpm
|
|
sgml-common-0.1-8.src.rpm
|
|
stylesheets-1.54.13rh-1.src.rpm
|
|
|
|
So these, at least, should work together. I mistakenly downloaded
|
|
sgml-common-0.2-3
|
|
|
|
Unfortunatley this has yet to get me to a state where I can compile
|
|
big-howto-template.sgml.
|
|
|
|
Another suggestion would be to include EXACTLY how to run jade on a known
|
|
file, and allow one to compare the output to see that indeed the
|
|
installation is working.
|
|
|
|
I realize that you are trying to hit a moving target, and that this stuff
|
|
changes fast, and appreciate that we are all doing this for free. But it
|
|
has taken me too long to understand what I need to do to start working.
