Hi Holger,

jenkins builds them, cause they exist in trunk/manual/build/arch-options/ 
:-) - and because jobs for the html versions build those fine.

I'll omit those three kernel archs in my jenkins script now.

And indeed, http://jenkins.debian.net/view/d-i_manual/job/d-i_manual_en_pdf/3/ 
was successful now. I'll trigger the other translations.

(And jobs for the other type of manual translations should follow soon.)

for the manuals, I build them using a custom script, the above fix is here
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/holger/jenkins.debian.net.git;a=commitdiff;h=5d4bcb4808b78fe989b9c955d7ab23e0075a60b4

the full script is at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/holger/jenkins.debian.net.git;a=blob;f=bin/d-
i_manual.sh - it's really simple.

you can view also the jenkins configuration yourself, eg for this job the url is 
http://jenkins.debian.net/view/d-i_manual/job/d-i_manual_en_pdf/configure-readonly
(there is a link in the sidebar of each job.)

but those commands I use there are really taken from svn/trunk/manual :)


thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

cheers,
	Holger
