  • 1.  Ubuntu package for DocBook XSL 1.76.1

    Posted 11-22-2011 23:38
    I have a requirement to install the DocBook XSL ns stylesheets from a Debian package
    on an Ubuntu system. However, I can only seem to find version 1.75.2 packaged that
    way, and not the latest 1.76.1. Does anyone know where to find the updated package?

    Bob,

    As I know, there are no "docbook-xsl-ns" with version 1.76.1 package in stable|testing debian repository. Moreover, the 1.76 version of docbook stylesheet is only in sid (unstable) repo of debian (what ubuntu packages are often derived from): http://packages.debian.org/sid/docbook-xsl-ns

    You can try (some risky and tricky, though) use unstable sid repository from debian on ubuntu just to install the package.

    1. Install the xml-core and perl (you find information about it a little later) package from the stable repo.

    sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xml-core perl

    2. Add the following string to /etc/apt/sources.list (unstable repo)

    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main

    3. run to update local repo db:

    sudo apt-get update

    4. install the package using sid repo

    sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends -t sid install docbook-xsl-ns sgml-base

    Please, note, that:
    - docbook-xsl-ns package depends on xml-core, so better to use xml-core from the stable repo.
    - sgml-base package depends on perl (version doesn't matter), so better to use perl from the stable repo - see step 1.

    5. Disable (by commenting) or just delete the string deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
    from the /etc/apt/sources.list file and run apt-get update once more.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there

    On Gentoo Linux there is a 1.76.1.
    It is installable through portage.
    I use it myself.

    Putting my Debian maintainer hat on: 1.76.1 hit Sid.
    If you have any further questions: I'm maintaining the docbook-xsl* packages
    for Debian and Ubuntu just "snycs" them.

    There is nothing tricky. The docbook-xsl(-ns) package does not contain any
    binary code nor does it have strange dependencies. xml-core can be installed
    from Ubuntu and the docbook-xsl(-ns) binary can simply be grabbed and installed:

    wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/docbook-xsl/docbook-xsl_1.76.1+dfsg-1_all.deb
    dpkg -i docbook-xsl_1.76.1+dfsg-1_all.deb

    if you cannot wait until it has been synced from Debian. There is absolutely no
    need to add any Debian sources to an Ubuntu sources.list.
