Re: xsltproc segfaults after upgrading to docbook xsl stylesheetsv1.60.1
Hi Jeff, I'm waiting already for more than a month for this to happen. Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated. But despite Robert claiming to take care of this in his initial response you cited below, no update was ever published. All further inquiries were silently ignored. The interpretation of this behaviour and consequences are up to you. Right now, Cygwin is not usable for XML editing. I recommend switching over to some other *nix and a VM. Alternatively you can use the Windows ports of the xml libaries provided by Igor Zlatkovic. His ports are always up to date: http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/index.html Disappointed, Patrick Robert Collins said on 19 Feb 2003 07:57:58 +1100: Yes, and this takes the current version from 'old' to 'old + buggy'. I've upped my priority to get a new release out. Uhmm, end of the week should do it. Please, could we/you somehow get xsltproc associated libs in the cygwin installation repository brought up-to-date? I'm trying to use xsltproc with some docbook stuff (we're using docbook to write the next phase of ProjectLiberty specs, and I use cygwin as my *nix environment), and said docbook stuff uses xinclude. The old xsltproc et al included (still) in the cygwin install (I updated this morning) barfs on the xinclude stuff, plus it doesn't properly handle (eg skip over) included mediaobjects (eg EPS). The latest version of xsltproc et al (the various *xml* libs) handles both of these just fine. thanks, JeffH -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

If you're frustrated, imagine how frustrated Rob is receiving all these complaints for his efforts to make this package available to you (at any version level). Makes one wonder why anyone would spend their time to support a package. Anyway, it's a point to ponder the next time you are frustrated with a particular package and feel like you'd like to lash out at someone.

OK, perhaps your message just suffers from poor timing and too much innuendo. Or perhaps I saw more in it than there was. ;-) Anyway, it looks like this is working out in your favor. Despite Rob's announcement that he's dropping maintainership for these packages, Elfyn has offered to pick it up. This is good news for anyone who wants to use these packages with Cygwin. I'd like to thank Rob for his efforts on this package and Elfyn for stepping in to take over.

Re: xsltproc segfaults after upgrading to docbook xsl stylesheetsv1.60.1
I started working on this one last night. Thanks! Now I know what you mean by these packages being a bugger to build OOTB. That's what I was afraid of and why I'm not at liberty to volunteer, fwiw. In the coming week I'm going to be testing this and release a test package for people to try, if you don't mind of course. :-) I'll do some limited testing by running our docbook-based specs thru the libs/xsltproc et al. another thing that'd be great to get in the cygwin distro is eps2pdf if anyone has the cycles to take that on. our toolchain uses it too so I can try it out. fwiw, the toolchain includes TeX, and I've folded passivetex into my installation and it appeared to work. passivetex is a tex macro package, and is available here. would be nice to have it automagically folded in, too... http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Software/passivetex/ As for maintainership I volunteer, as this is a package I don't want to see pulled from the distribution. thanks again, and as I said I can do some testing.
