docbook-apps

Hi there

Back in 2015 I had issues with missing bibliography entries. Bob Stayton
directed me towards using namespaced stylesheets, and that solved the
problem.

Now, 2018, I think I read somewhere that the xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2
stylesheets were namespaced even though the -ns- from the name disappeared.

Some experiments with xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2-4 on my arch linux bring
back the missing biblipgraphy items. I am confused, can anyone explain,
please?

Quite a while ago I migrated the docbook-xsl repo from sourceforge to
github (https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets). Given that we
had to change URLs anyhow, we took the opportunity to cleanup some other
bits of logic, such as the relationship between namespace-aware vs.
non-namespace-aware stylesheets.

So any packages build from the new repo are namespace-aware by default,
while the non-namespace-aware packages are generated  and use the "nons"
suffix in their name (see
https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/releases).

Unfortunately I don't think any official docbook-xsl release was ever
built from the new repo, so I fear that all packages you can get from
Linux distributions will all still be built from the old (and very
outdated) sourceforge code.

Thnx for the reply. I feared that might be the case. I'll harass the
package manager on mu Linux dist ;)

Actually I suppose it's us you need to harass ! :-)
Downstream package managers will only build distro-specific packages
from official releases, and since we haven't built one on github yet,
there is little they can do...

I finally got around to it. Downloaded the new namespaced stylesheets 1.79.2 from github and ran them with my normal updated toolchain. Just works.

Wonderful, thanks for letting us know ! So all we need to do is produce
a new release from github. :-)
