Re: maint-guide update: final confirmation before upload

[Jens Seidel <jensseidel@users.sf.net>]

Hi,

www-master seems to have problems building Korean PS, PDF documents.
Please note that this is fixed since many weeks and should work like a
charm.

It was asked by Osamu to update the debiandoc-sgml package on www-master
to version to 1.1.86. Such an update is possible [1] and happened
already in the past (thanks Joey).

Even without this update it should work (also in Woody) using an ugly
workaround from quick-reference but I want to remove bin/fixlatex, ...
and need further help (see below).

maint-guide.ko.ps: (not yet mentioned on website)

debiandoc2latexps -l ko maint-guide.ko.sgml
debiandoc2latexps: WARNING: overwriting maint-guide.ko.tex
debiandoc2latexps: ERROR: maint-guide.ko.dvi could not be generated properly

make[1]: *** [maint-guide.ko.ps] Error 1

Please send me www-master's maint-guide.ko.log file so that I can inspect it.
Try to remove temporary files (such as *.aux, ...) and check that
hlatex and hlatex-fonts-base are installed!

I asked for this already a few times! A list of installed packages would
also be nice (or is this a security risk?).

I do not know who has access to this host (maybe you Osamu, or
Yooseong?), but I know that I haven't.

Follow this discussion and ensure that we do not forget this. Check
Korean PDF documents at least once a day on www.debian.org and keep
us informed ...

Yes, apt-howto.ko.ps and pdf exists but are bogus. I can create this
file on my host but www-master has problems nobody cares about ...

Maybe your debian-history translation will fail to compile as well.

It's not too late to fix it.
