Hi,
The documentation build system is currently undergoing some changes,
which have caused problems with the doc generation over the past few days.
During the past few days I have been working on:
* merging the build system for the book with the build system for the
public howto
* adding multi-language support(there is currently a project to
translate the documentation to french, and one to translate it to
german). This will
make it easier for them to track updates in the english version, etc.
* completely complying with the Docbook/XML standard. The
samba-specific elements should have a prefix
* random fixes for better stability
I am doing my best to get all this (except for the internationalization)
fixed before friday.
Some crazy ideas for the future:
* get (some) hosts in the buildfarm to generate the docs. We have
already encountered problems with inconsistencies between various
versions of
libxslt, xsltproc or db2latex
* generate param/loadparm.c from the information in the docs (or at
least use it to check whether the data in param/loadparm.c and the data
in the docs
is consistent)
Cheers,
Jelmer
