AFAICT no packages failed to build due to that gs "Error" message in the
build log. On the contrary, the compilation is invoked with a flag
generatePdf=0 which makes me assume that those errors are noise from the
latex subsystem that the upstream build system deliberately chose to
ignore.
If you insist that it is an RC error to not compile and ship PDF
documentation, or that upstream choices of suppressing exit codes for
parts of their routines, then please file bug reports about it and let
us work on fixing it all.
>Besides of that, documentation is important.
I agree that documentation is important. But do you say that it is RC? I
mean, would you rather not have CSound in Lenny, or an older,
technically broken CSound in Lenny, than a techically working CSound
missing some optional PDF files?
Sorry if I sound aggressive - I simply do not understand your point
here.
