Created attachment 401834 [details, diff] Proposed patch to scrnsaverproto The scrnsaverproto package has a doc useflag but it fails to actually build or install the protocol documentation in a usable form. This process requires the xorg-sgml-doctools package which is not in the gentoo tree. All that gets installed is the docbook XML source, saver.xml, which is pretty much useless. If I manually download install the xorg-sgml-doctools package from X.org, the current ebuild will automagically install the human-readable HTML and plain-text documentation. PDF documentation for this package further requires dev-java/fop. I recommend adding xorg-sgml-doctools to the tree, and applying the attached change to scrnsaverproto. With these changes the package actually installs usable documentation.

Created attachment 401836 [details] Proposed ebuild app-doc/xorg-sgml-doctools-1.11 Trivial ebuild for xorg-sgml-doctools.
Ping? Is this the wrong place to submit fixes?
It is the correct place, but it is probably better if you report a separate bug for the new package, and make it block this bug.
x11-proto/* packages have all been merged upstream into x11-base/xorgproto. Patches would need to go upstream to that project. FWIW, I don't see any support for building documentation using the Meson build system (which we use).
