> cygwin-doc does not meet this requirement... I think it is a good thing if packages are buildable as-is. But it is a rule of thumb, since we really need cygwin-doc, it is a good thing to have this package, htough it is not buildable with a standard cygwin installation. The problem with gtk-doc is that there is also a runtime dependecy to jade/openjade. It is useless without Jade. I'm thinking about putting together a package with an older jade version. Older version are sufficient to use gtk-doc. The best solution would be to have a complete docbook toolchain (+maintainer). Gerrit -- =^..^=
