This one perhaps needs some discussion...
Is it better to keep the current nsgmls until we know whether all of the
supported platforms are working before removing it? ie: Introduce
support for running the system version (and not building the CDE
version) in one patch or patches. Then when we are ready, we can remove it?
I am all for using the system version of things rather than embedded
versions, but it need to be done carefully so as to not break something
else.
This patch also assumes that dtudcfonted exists. It currently does not,
therefore it will fail to apply right off the bat.
If you create patches that depend on other patches, you should send them
all in one go (email). But keep in mind, if one fails, all of the
following ones will fail too.
This is why it is a good idea to keep each topic branch you develop in
as self-contained as possible for this very reason, and use many smaller
commits addressing one sensible thing at a time rather than all of it in
one large patch. This also makes it easier to review.
I also see that you default Nsgmls in Imake.tmpl as /usr/bin/onsgmls .
Why? At least on my Ubuntu 16.04 box, you need to install the 'sp'
package, which provides nsgmls. The default should be just 'nsgmls',
without the full path included. If debian boxes are using a different
name for this program, then that is a problem we would need to deal with
as well. How do we detect and handle this case? We only have one
linux.cf file. What's it called on the BSD's?
I also see that there is yet another version (ancient) called 'sgmls' in
programs/dtdocbook/sgmls/
That one should go too I suppose.
I can't merge this as-is, but it's goal is a good one.
