build log

SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/sgml/catalog \
SGML_SEARCH_PATH=../..:../../doc:.. \
        jade -t sgml -i html -d ../../docbook-utils.dsl\#html \
                -V '%use-id-as-filename%' ../../doc/docbook-utils.sgml
jade:/etc/xml/catalog:2:78:E: name expected
jade:/etc/xml/catalog:2:18:E: cannot find "PUBLIC"; tried "/etc/xml/PUBLIC", "../../PUBLIC", "../../doc/PUBLIC", "../PUBLIC"

The last two lines are repeated over and over again. /etc/xml/catalog appears to contain entries from e.g. app-text/xhtml1-20020801-r4 and app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.79.1-r2. It starts like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">

Looks sane enough to me, in terms of xml, but might not be what sgml tools expect here. I have app-text/openjade-1.3.2-r7 on my system. I encountered this during a world re-emerge for the 17.0 profile migration.

Workaround: temporarily disabling the line

CATALOG "/etc/xml/catalog"

in /etc/sgml/catalog did make the build succeed for me. Not sure where that line came from, and whether it should be removed permanently. I doubt I added it manually.

FWICS docbook-sgml-utils build is broken by most of xml DTDs installed.  However, we can't really remove them because they're needed by other packages.  I'm not even sure if it's a problem with this package or with openjade in general.  In either case, I believe it's time we consider pruning it.

I'm going to start filing bugs for packages that use it unconditionally.

Nevermind, I found a good solution for my problem.
