Hello! I'm working on a new output format that I would like to offer as a
contribution (if my skills are up to the task). I want to build the XSL
distribution from my fork of the repository so I can test my changes. I
haven't worked with DocBook distribution builds in the past, and I think
I'm missing some important context.

It looks like CI will build release distributions in the DocBook
organization <https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets>. I don't think
that covers my fork of the repo though. Is that something I could turn on
in my forked repository configuration?

I also thought it might be easier to build locally using make. I tried
building on my MacOS laptop using the instructions in the xsl10-stylesheets
repository <https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/wiki/Building>.
That didn't work, because of invalid paths to the expected Ubuntu file
system. I'm considering running an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine to
replicate the expected build environment. Or maybe edit the .xmlc file
paths?

Thanks for your patience with my beginner build questions! Has anyone run a
build to generate a release distribution lately? Can you share how you did
that?

Peter
