PS. Did you know that 2.9 builds on OpenSuse 12.1? I did a test build
yesterday and it works. If I was to write up a set of instructions on
building publican from source on OpenSuse, would you want it for the
User's Guide?
Hell yeah :)
Ok. Consider it done!
You can either apply for membership of the FAS group to get commit
access, or you can open a bug and attach the XML and we'll get it
included in 2.9.

Awesome work, thanks :)
No problem. Just giving a little back.
Anyway, if you are interested, I built a new 12.1 install in a
VirtualBox VM and followed the instructions in the new chapter. All went
well, except:
Build test: Cannot build the PDF with FOP. Java Null Pointer Exception.
This doesn't happen with a large (200 plus pages) pdf of my own, or a
quick test with publican create --type book - just, so far, the user guide.
publican build cannot build epubs on OpenSuse. It works fine on Fedora
16. (I've put a note to this effect in the manual.)
OpenSuse cannot install wkhtmltopdf as the ghostscript-fonts are called
ghostscript-fonts-std on OpenSuse. I tried to force it in with a nodeps
check which was fine, but it doesn't create PDfs at all.
I also managed to get Publican 2.9 installed on OpenSuse 11.4 - by
adding a few more modules using cpan, but it's a wee bit flaky.
Had a lot of fun sorting it out though! ;-)
And as for current trunk, let's not go there! :-(
Cheers,
Norm.
