This is really a very simple fix - just correct the errors in api-gal.sgml that are noted below. There are a number of <title> sections in docs/gal-api.sgml that are imporoperly ended with <title>. instead of </title>. This causes a recursive loop in the processing of that document. Breaking out of the loop aborts the build. Adding the missing / to the close of the title sections where the / is missing fixes the problem and the ebuild succeeds. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gal 2. 3. Actual Results: endless loop inprocessing of gal-api.sgml I don't know that I would classify this bug as critical - but it does cause the ebuild to hang so that is where it fits best I guess.
afaik its not endless, it will at a certain point go on. But indeed if it can be fixed easily, then that would be nice. Care to fix us a patch ?
i've added a patched to that effect. it doesn't speed up the docs compilation by anything dramatic fashion though.
