I would like to see an ebuild for DocBook Wiki: http://doc-book.sourceforge.net/homepage/ DocBookWiki can display DocBook documents online. Different from the other applications, which convert a DocBook document into HTML first, in order to display it online, DocBookWiki converts it on the fly, so that the format for saving the document will still be XML (DocBook). In order to do this efficiently, DocBookWiki splits it first into chunks, according to chapters, sections etc. It can also display a list of books, and for each book it can support multiple languages (translations). When the reader is reading a certain section of a book and he changes the language, he will see the same section in the selected language. DocBookWiki can also be used to edit a DocBook document online, from the web. Editing is done one section at a time, so the editor selects first the section that he wants to edit, and then edits it. He can edit it in several modes: text (like wiki), xml (the original format), html, latex, texi, etc., whichever is more suitable for him. The changes, however, are always saved in the XML(DocBook) format. Authentication of the editors (with username, password) can be enabled as well, if necessary. Also, different editing permissions can be assigned to editors. It allows the viewers of a document to download the document in other formats, like PDF, RTF, Plain HTML, LaTeX, PS, etc. which can be generated automatically from the DocBook format.
No upstream activity since 2001... Is there still any user demand for adding this package to Portage?
*Since 2008. I guess it can be dismissed.
I meant 2011 (the latest SVN commit dates back to the 3rd of April that year), sorry about the typo. Anyway, closing the bug as WONTFIX following feedback from the reporter but feel free to reopen if there is interest after all.
