Yes, what Matthew said below is the way to go - you don't have to throw everything away and start over from scratch -- though you will need to start a new, clean branch from master and "construct and maintain" it properly as Matthew outlines below. It is important to rebase from time to time a

I guess we should at some point discuss the whole SGML infrastructure in CDE. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO/sgml.html This link provides a decent 'demystification' of docbook and where it is going. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO/ XML is the current

I guess I'm just having trouble understanding what I must do differently, does my patch simply need to be rebased and the commits deleting dtudcfonted can be reversed on your end, or do I need to manually readd all the previous files by hand from a previous version and repatch? Because one solut

To answer a previous question you posed, It worked fairly well, with one minor problem that dtinfogen keeps throwing a very nondescript error of "dtinfogen: sgmls not found make[4]: *** [usersGuide/TOC.sgm] Error 255" Thank you for your time, -Chase ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On July 31,

Did you try running dtinfo and looking at some of the guides? That's definitely an error... Maybe you had a previous install already there? Anyway, I'm just guessing, but it would fail the build (the make[4]: *** [usersGuide/TOC.sgm] Error 255" line). -jon On 07/31/2018 07:03 PM, Chase wrote

I think Matthew explained it pretty well. You might do some reading up on git, and typical git workflows - there's tons of docs out there. But essentially: You create a branch from current master, revert the 2(?) previous commits that removed dtudcfont* programs (look at the "git revert" com
