Needed for xerces to be built from surce completely Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 47110 [details] xml-stylebook-bin-20041208.ebuild since we have circular dependencies with xerces and xalan we should add this package as a binary version to the portage tree. xerces needs xml-stylebook, xml-stylebook needs xalan and xalan needs xerces. we could break the dependency chain by adding this package in a binary version. since this project is only available via cvs atm i've made a snapshot which can be found here: http://the-luckyduck.de/~lucky/xml-stylebook-20041208.tar.bz2
Could we rather bootstrap xml-stylebook inside xerces? I.e. compile xerces with the bundled xml-stylebook.jar, then compile xml-stylebook.jar with the freshly compiled xerces? Both would be dojar'ed into /usr/share/xerces-<slot>
i've played around with xerces a lot, i.e. with the build process and on runtime and figured out that we don't need xml-stylebook at all. it was needed to generate some docs but we can still generate javadocs without this package. that makes life for us much easier. because of this i close this one, no other package relies up on xml-stylebook.
I think stylebook would be useful not just for xerces, but e.g. building docs of batik too. Javadocs aren't everything. Now, who can find the sources somewhere? :)
You will need to do a snapshot ebuild for this as there is no official release. Fortunately, that shouldnt be a big deal as the project is fairly stagnant (the last change being made ~3 years ago). svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/stylebook/trunk/ xml-stylebook
