I've looked at the permissions we had originally and the permissions
you now have and I cannot see what is wrong. Ok, you have some more
write permissions, but if this was the problem (that some process wants
to write to the files), allowing writing is not ok. At least all files
in our original package are readable for everyone which should be
sufficient. So, can you give me more details what exactly was broken?
Because I do not want to directly copy the permissions from the vendor
tarball (because it contains the extra write permissions).

Taken over now with the latest OpenPKG-CURRENT packages of "opensp"
and "openjade". Thanks for your contribution.

I'm currently looking at the docbook-toys. But have you checked our
"xmlto" package? It is similar stuff...
