texlive can't find docbook.sty

[nortcele]

Since, r132311 tex commands can't find docbook files installed by dblatex.

For example.

Create a test.xml file with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<!DOCTYPE section PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
                    "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" [
]>


<article class="techreport" status="final">


<para>Just some blabla.</para>

</article>

Then use dblatex to transform the xml to latex with:

dblatex -t tex test.xml -o test.tex

Then use pdflatex to transform the latex file to pdf with:

pdflatex test.tex

The later command fails with the error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014/MacPorts 2014_7) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

I changed my local version of dblatex to make texlive tools find docbook informations. Here are my modifications:

My modifications add links to dblatex files in "/opt/local/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/dblatex", but only for files that are not allready known by texlive (use of kpsewhich) to avoid the replacement of texlive files by outdated versions.

I don't know anything about TCL, dblatex or texlive so I don't know if this is a good or valid way to process, but with this modification, I could use texlive tools to manage dblatex generated files.

After reading the textlive portgroup file, I changed a little bit the dblatex Portfile to use the texlive_texmflocal variable:

Thanks for the patch, that looks good. I'll take a look once I'm back at my Mac.

Commited in r134131. There may have been better ways to do this without touching texmf-local, but I'd rather have a non-optimal version than a broken one.

I've also increased the revision since this changes which files are installed by the port and we need to force a rebuild because of that.
