I just realized, it's not good that the docbook-xsl version number is
hardcoded here. This will break the next time docbook-xsl is updated.
Does anyone know how to improve this?
The relevant bit in the package Makefile that is being modified is this:
DOCBOOK2XMAN=xsltproc --param man.authors.section.enabled 0
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl
Can we modify this command to avoid giving the full pathname? Or should
we modify our docbook-xsl package to add a symlink that allows us to
omit the version number?
Mark
