Follow-up Comment #40, bug #67207 (group groff): [comment #39 comment #39:] > I didn't get any actionable feedback on my changes to BuildFoundries or > gropdf, so I'm abandoning them for now.
That didn't work out well. Or it did, depending on your point of view.
> Issues with them can be addressed in future tickets.
Dave discovered at least one in bug #67268.
In trying to address it, I blundered into a bunch of familiar land mines. A
lot goes wrong because BuildFoundries.pl and gropdf.pl often neglect to check
for ill-formed input files or errors when writing files, and even when
problems are detected, these programs typically just throw warnings and keep
going.
That's not what we want when building _groff_ itself.
See bug #67268, which I'll be updating shortly.
