According to the sgmltools-lite website there are several symlinks that should be made for sgmltools, these are not made in the ebuild and often seem to break the documentation build process of other apps/ebuilds.
I've searched through the site (sourceforge) for these docs which mention symlinks, but I am unable to find them. Could you provide me with a URL to the docs, please? From what I can see, the sgmltools package (the old old one in RPM format) provides sgml2html, this sgmltools-lite package provides sgmltools -b or some such flag. Please let me know.
This was the original page which led me to believe the symlinks should be made: http://linux.bankhacker.com/en/software/SGMLTools/ The original package that I was trying to build the docs for was the libusb package. I believe it was looking for sgml2html specifically, but I cannot find where it references it at this time. I believe it also had something to do with jade. I know it's vague, I should have taken down more information at the time. The links were present in 'SGMLTools', so as the apparent next version of SGMLTools, you would think SGMLTools-Lite would have the same symlinks... by my reasoning anyways.
It is confirmed that those symlinks are not created in this package. There is another package which a Debian guy forked off from the original sgmltools which contains these sglm2blah links/binaries called linuxdoc-tools. I will upload that package to portage soon.
After examining the linuxdoc-tools tarball, I decided to forego its addition into portage. Instead, I have created shell script front ends for sgml2: html, txt, rtf, dvi, and ps; complete with corresponding man page links to the sgmltools-lite manpage. However, I have masked this ebuild until it can be tested further. If you are up to the challenge, please do: ebuild /usr/portage/app-text/sgmltools-lite/sgmltools-lite-3.0.3-r4.ebuild merge to install it, and then test it let me know how it performs.
