I use DocBook, but I don't use Publican. Somewhat related... I manage the sources manually, edit the XML using a text editor, and build the book using a shell script. If you are interested in just DocBook, then here are the install instructions I use: <https://github.com/noloader/Dockbook-Install>. It works on Ubuntu and Fedora. You can download the docbook-install PDF, which was produced by DocBook. This particular DocBook is called an "article". An article is not a book. You can find an example of a DocBook "book" at <https://github.com/noloader/POWER8-crypto>. It follows the same pattern as dockbook-install. It is a book instead of an article.
