 Note: SF isn't allowing me to grab docbook public uri
 (v4.4) from oasis. I'm investigating the issue.

Everyone,
This is just pathetic. I can't even remember doing a simple task. :-(

Anyway, I'm now able to validate our docbook xml. I'll continue working
on the new build script.

I just ran daily.sh. I had to place the docbook xml 4.4 dtd in my shell
space. SF is blocking all http requests from the shell. External catalog
entries fail. Anyway, let me know if you see any problems.

Re: [leaf-devel] Flash Stick Image

 Hello Everyone,
 
 Some more results from testing of USB Sticks.
 
 Looking at the physical properties on the USB sticks it seams we are in for
 some fun.  It seams to me that they all have different physical attributes.
 I tested with some other ones as well including the brand new 256mb stick.
 All had different metrics.
 
 I've just rolled a new image and uploaded this.  To this image I've applied
 the mbr.bin that came with syslinux v3.11 - maybe that works better.  Now  -
 we are in for some more fun - have a look at this article:
 http://syslinux.zytor.com/usbkey.php
 
 Natanael - maybe you have a Award bios?

I have no idea. Its Dell.

 I've noticed that on certain of my
 machines the stick (with the image applied) look completely messed up.
 Howver - the image do boot with all the different stick I have, and on the
 three different test machines I got at home.  Very strange indeed.

The usb stick got partitioned and mounted just fine. I just didnt want
to boot.

 All - maybe we should try to roll a USB-ZIP image as well? For that we can
 use the Syslinux tool mentioned in the link above.

I'd say: ship a .tar.gz (or .zip) file that the user an unpack on
his/her usb drive and the run syslinux. You could even ship syslinux.exe
for windows users.

 I've tried with the image model that David described however presently I
 have no luck with that. I've tried Erics image as well - no luck there
 either. Eric - this is a full device image - right?
 
 We really should have some more folks testing the different images/models.
 
 Had a quick look on the DSL's pendrive_usbhdd.sh script.  I'm quite sure we
 shold be able to use this as well.  The package can be found here:
 ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/damnsmalllinux/archive/pendrive_usbhdd.tar.gz

KP,
Not yet. I'm still working on doc-build.sh. The current revision in cvs
is 1.6.

Pending: 
* feedback on shell code in doc-build.sh
* addition of man pages
* addition of function to move built documentation from
  /tmp/persistent to our project shell space.

In addition some other stuff I'm probably forgetting right now.

 Three remarks 
 
 - pdf does still not work, no pb, but can you remove the link until it works?

Understood. This is just an initial run.

 - Can we have the chapters/subchapters less deeper (only 1 and 1.1 not three 
 or four levels deep as it is now)?

I'll address this when I start work on the XSL customization layer.

 - Current version starts with developer guides, I'd like to have Installation 
 Guide's and User Guide's before Developer Guide's - expecting developers 
 having a closer look and more patience than mere user's :)

I'll attend to the requested reordering.

 thx for taking care of the guides/docs.

yw

I finally got a few free minutes to look at this.

Your script looks very clean except for one issue with the check_errors
function.  You're removing the lockfile in this routine, which is
required for expected operation if one of the document building commands
fails.  You are also using the check_errors procedure for testing
whether the lockfile generation worked or not.  That means if you run
this script while another instance is already running, it will not be
able to grab the lockfile, but will then forcibly remove the lockfile
without owning it (a BadThing :).

It looks like the easiest way to handle this is to special case the
create_lockfile error checking (ie: put the logic inside the
create_lockfile function).  If you want the lockfile forcibly grabbed
after some amount of time (ie: 8 to 24 hours or so...something that's
much longer than document generation should normally take), you can do
this with the -l switch, ie:

  lockfile -l 72000 ...

would force removal of any existing lockfile older than 20 hours.

Ok. I made the changes in doc-build.sh r1.8. I hope I did it correctly.
