Would it be possible to update htmltidy to a more recent source release? The current gentoo ebuild relies on a version that's well over a year old, and there are bug fixes (such as fixing block-sensitive indentation) in newer version not present in the one in gentoo. I can't even apply the current ebuild patch against the new sources since the build tree has changed significantly. If no one is on top of this, I'll be glad to work on putting an ebuild together with a more recent source, but I'm sure the package already has a maintainer.
marking as text-markup metadata. ill get onto this.
Okay, I've ebuilt (past tense of 'to ebuild'?) version 3.10.29, or the not so wacky tidy version 031029. You're correct in saying the source has changed significantly, and it looks like the docbook patch we have currently, won't apply to the new tree. I have found http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/tidy/ however, which may achieve similar results. Any opinion on including this ? I'll try and wait for feedback before I commit the new version to the tree.
Okay, I've updated the patch for the tidy source, and patched html2db, and included it in the htmltidy-3.10.29 ebuild which is now in portage.
