Of course. The question was just: do we want to republish on the web when
changes in the Sarge branch are made (doesn't have to be for every little
dotted i or crossed t of course).

These are the main packages that are required and are known to work:
Package Sarge version Woody version
============== ============== ======================
openjade 1.4devel1-13 1.4devel1-8
xsltproc 1.1.8-5 1.0.16-0.2
jadetex 3.13-2.1 3.12-2
docbook 4.3-1 4.1.99really4.2.cr1-2
docbook-xml 4.3-1 4.1.99really4.2.cr1-2
docbook-xsl 1.66.1-1 1.50.0-2
docbook-dsssl 1.79-1 1.76-1
sgml-data 2.0.2 1.5.5
gs-common 0.3.6-0.1 0.3.3.0woody1
w3m 0.5.1-1 0.3-2.4
Note: I have not checked dependencies; also, I could not test everything
because some steps failed quite early.
I have done a testbuild using Woody, and the results are that _at least_
the following packages will need to be backported from Sarge:
- - xsltproc (broken handling of --output option)
- - docbook-xsl (stylesheet errors during build)
- - sgml-data (missing files?)
- - w3m (woody version does not support 'display charset' option)
Also, I got an error from sed in function create-text (when replacing
unprintable characters) in buildone.sh. That could probably be worked
around or else a backported version of sed is also required.
In the end I was able to build all formats by using some intermediate
files build using Sarge.
Cheers,
FJP
