macports-guide @2.5: doesn't compile

[pdvnl]

I cloned the Macports Guide, did git checkout-2.5, then installed the prereqs docbook-xsl docbook-xml-5.0 libxslt dblatex.

1. install

   Error: docbook-xsl has been replaced by docbook-xsl-nons; please install that instead.
   

I think this is old.

2. make

   /bin/ln -sfh /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl guide/resources/xsl
   /bin/mkdir -p guide/html
   /bin/cp guide/resources/docbook.css guide/html/docbook.css
   /bin/cp guide/resources/images/* guide/html/
   /bin/cp guide/resources/*.js guide/html/
   /opt/local/bin/xsltproc --xinclude \
           --output guide/html/index.html \
           guide/resources/single-page.xsl guide/xml/guide.xml
   warning: failed to load external entity "guide/resources/xsl/xhtml/profile-docbook.xsl"
   compilation error: file guide/resources/single-page.xsl line 2 element import
   xsl:import : unable to load guide/resources/xsl/xhtml/profile-docbook.xsl
   make: *** [guide] Error 5
   

3. make guide-dblatex

   ...
   Unexpected error occured
   Error: pdflatex compilation failed
   make: *** [guide-dblatex] Error 1
   

4. Confirm this is a new problem

   git checkout master
   make
   -> builds OK
   make guide-dblatex
   -> same problem
   

Conclusions

• docbook-xsl -> docbook-xsl-nons is a documentation error
• guide html is a 2.5 problem
• guide pdf is an older problem

The release-2.5 branch has changes relating to MacPorts 2.5 that can be merged back into master after that version is released. Yes, it is likely missing some of the changes that have been made on master relating to the docbook port changes.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

guide master was fixed. See #55946. I don't know how changes to the release-2.5 branch are being handled, or whether the branch will even be retained after MacPorts 2.5 is released.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

The release-2.5 branch will not be retained. It should be merged into master once MacPorts 2.5.0 has been released and then deleted.

I merged master into release-2.5 in [748003836f40b3ae5e657ba8bae1f9e2fa53f540/macports-guide], which also keeps the changes between the branches to the minimum.

(The branch was not yet known to Trac, therefore no report from CommitTicketUpdater.)
