Dblatex is actually a DB2LaTeX clone, since it takes the major part of its XSL stylesheets. So, why this project? The purpose is a bit different on these points: * The project is end-user oriented, that is it tries to hide as much as possible the latex compiling stuff by providing a single clean script to produce directly DVI, PostScript and PDF output. * The actual output rendering is done not only by the XSL stylesheets transformation, but also by a dedicated LaTeX package. The purpose is to allow a deep LaTeX customisation without changing the XSL stylesheets. * Post-processing is done by Perl, to make publication faster, and to parse things not so easily done by the XSL stylesheets like tables.
Created attachment 84306 [details] app-text/dblatex/dblatex-0.1.4.1.ebuild Ebuild for dblatex-0.1.4.1.
Created attachment 84307 [details] files/install-dblatex-0.1.4.1.sh Instalation doesn't work. It need some impovement in the ebuild.
Created attachment 85854 [details] app-text/dblatex/dblatex-0.1.4.1.ebuild Installation works good now.
Created attachment 85858 [details] app-text/dblatex/dblatex-0.1.9.ebuild New version.
Created attachment 85859 [details] files/install-dblatex-0.1.9.sh New version.
Installing the script as dblatex may conflict with dev-tex/tex4ht which install a script with the same name to convert files the other way (latex -> docbook)
Created attachment 102414 [details] app-text/dblatex/dblatex-0.2.ebuild Current version - Doesn't need the install script - The application script is renamed to "docbook2latex" to prevent collisions - Removed bibtopic dependency. v1.0 is included in tetex, maybe it works with that one (I don't have a docbook document with bibliography to check).

Created attachment 162135 [details] dblatex-0.2.9.ebuild Hiya guys, Just came across this package. Please note that you can use the distutils eclass to do all the setup.py installation for you. I've added a warning for people who may be familiar with that package that it's primary executable is installed as docbook2latex. Also, please note, the virtual/tetex dependency is not enough when using texlive, since this version also requires texlive-latexextra, texlive-mathextra and one other that I haven't tracked down yet (that contains ifxetex, so I'm guessing texlive-xetex)... I'm not sure how best to deal with this, possibly by using: || (>=app-text/tetex-3 ( app-text/texlive app-text/texlive-mathextra app-text/texlive-latexextra app-text/texlive-xetex ) ) I don't know if that rules out any other possible virtual/tetex combinations. Anyway, see what you think...
Created attachment 162136 [details] dblatex-0.2.9.ebuild Doh, just realized I left that one with an RDEPEND, rather than a DEPEND. New one has the suggested depdency split between texlive and tetex... The issue is, if neither can be satisfied, portage will seemingly go for tetex-3 every time (so even if texlive is installed, it'll try installing tetex-3, rather than fulfill the remaining dependencies)...
Created attachment 162150 [details] dblatex-0.2.9.ebuild Double doh, I got the categories wrong for the texlive additional builds. Hopefully this is the last one... 5:)
Created attachment 194351 [details] dblatex-0.2.10.ebuild 0.2.10 ebuild with added dependency for dev-libs/libxslt (which provides xsltproc).

In an as-yet futile attempt to get asciidoc working, I just tried this ebuild , and it fails thusly: [...] >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: app-text/dblatex-0.2.10 >>> Install dblatex-0.2.10 into /home/portage/tmp/portage/app-text/dblatex-0.2.10/image/ category app-t ext running install +checking XSLT xsltproc... yes +checking convert... yes +checking epstopdf... yes +checking fig2dev... no warning: not found: fig2dev +checking latex... yes [...] +checking textcomp... yes +checking titlesec... no +checking url... yes +checking wasysym... yes +checking xecyr... found in package Error: not found: changebar, footmisc, multirow, overpic, stmaryrd, subfigure, titlesec * * ERROR: app-text/dblatex-0.2.10 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_install * environment, line 2507: Called distutils_src_install * environment, line 710: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * ${python} setup.py install --root="${D}" --no-compile "$@" || die "python setup.py install failed"; * The die message: * python setup.py install failed [...] I've googled for the "not found" error message and came up empty.

(In reply to comment #15) > Error: not found: changebar, footmisc, multirow, overpic, stmaryrd,subfigure, titlesec > * > * ERROR: app-text/dblatex-0.2.10 failed. The ebuild is missing dependancies on texlive-latexextra and texlive-mathextra

Created attachment 226645 [details] dblatex-0.3.ebuild Updated ebuild for 0.3, and install documentation to the correct location.
Comment on attachment 226645 [details] dblatex-0.3.ebuild I discovered recently that my 0.3 ebuild is broken, as many files are installed to the wrong locations. I have not had time to look at it, sorry!
well, i wanted to build gimp-help from git repo and it needed dblatex, after installation i just symlinked docbook2latex to dblatex as that is what it seems it was looking for and now the make works, though i am not sure it really uses the program for generating html help which i was making. anyway, thank you for the ebuild.
Created attachment 331976 [details] dblatex-0.3.4.ebuild This ebuild is based on wagnerflo's overlay.
Created attachment 331978 [details, diff] dblatex-0.3.4-path-logging.patch
Created attachment 331980 [details, diff] dblatex-0.3.4-install_layout.patch Build fix.
I have found a more up to date ebuild in the "eva" overlay, that makes v0.3.5. (https://gpo.zugaina.org/Overlays/eva/app-text/dblatex) I have also checked the project web page, apparently there is an even more recent release 0.3.7 posted on 2015-08-07. I'll work on an ebuild based on these as this is needed to build KiCad documentation.
