Hello all
We're preparing the upgrade of www-master to bookworm (RT #9603). There
is no xmlroff package in bookworm so I tested the builds of the
documentation written in DocBook (particularly, release notes for
bullseye) to see if there is any issue.
I didn't find issues not having xmlroff (indeed, I removed xmlroff from
my bullseye machine too, and the release notes for bullseye were built
just fine) but in the bookworm machine I had issues with another
package: the build of release notes for bullseye complained about not
finding the "nullfont" font and CharisSIL-R and CharisSIL-BI, even
having the fonts-sil-charis package installed. I removed it and
installed the fonts-sil-charis package from the bullseye suite and the
release notes for bullseye built fine.
I guess that with the new version of fonts-sil-charis the fonts should
be named differently in the .dbk files (CharisSIL-Regular and
CharisSIL-BoldItalic, see e.g.
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/debian-faq/-/commit/cdc7bc5f69311b36a0b56a10b1c54cf594eedd0a
), I have no idea about the fix for the "nullfont" issue but it seems
that fixing the other ones, this also disappears.
I am not sure about the best path to follow, maybe just disable the
builds of release-notes for bullseye when we upgrade www-master to
bookworm? (We would still offer the already built files but I'm not sure
about the lifecycle of the release notes and possible changes/updates
during LTS).
Kind regards,
