Package: xml-resume-library Version: 1.5.1-9 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Hi!
Thanks for maintaining this interesting package in Debian!
I took a look at
/usr/share/doc/xml-resume-library/debian-examples/Makefile
and saw that it uses fop to produce the PDF output.
Package fop is currently in contrib: I do not want to use
packages from contrib, hence I thought I could find a way
to generate the PDF output by only using packages from main...
I found out that this is indeed possible: using xmlto
and xmltex suffices!
The attached file is a modified version of .../debian-examples/Makefile
which only uses packages from Debian main.
I think you could ship this example Makefile, instead of the one
based on fop.
Moreover, you could add xmltex to the Recommends list (xmlto is
already recommended).
I hope mine is a useful contribution.
Now some legal details.
I hereby license my modifications to .../debian-examples/Makefile
under the same terms adopted by its original author (Colin Walters),
which I presume are the following ones (as most of the package):

WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE

IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
BTW, I think the debian/copyright file is quite incomplete and should
be updated as soon as possible, to be consistent with the actual
complete licensing status of the various parts of the xml-resume-library
package...
