I've checked upstream, <http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/>.  The 0.8.8

Fedora's version is out of sync with upstream I'd appreciate it.

Fedora packages the docbook2X version of docbook2texi as
db2x_docbook2texi (in package docbook2X). The binary it provides as
docbook2texi comes from RedHat's own docbook-tools:
http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/
which are packaged as docbook-utils, sic.

That's helpful. Perhaps I can look for db2x_docbook2texi first, then. However, if they don't have the docbook2texi package installed but have docbook-tools installed it will fail on invocation.

It looks like RedHat's docbook-tools is even older than docbook2x. I'm not sure if docbook-tools is commonly installed. Do either of you think
this approach is feasible?
