>Description:

I have written ports for "docbook-utils" and the Perl module it depends on,
"p5-SGMLSpl". You can find them at
http://www.linnet.org/ports/docbook-utils.tgz
http://www.linnet.org/ports/p5-SGMLSpm.tgz

This is my first attempt at contributing to FreeBSD ports; I'd be grateful
if someone would check through what I've done before committing.

"docbook-utils" is the package bundled with most Linux distributions for
processing docbook sources. It includes scripts such as docbook2html and
docbook2man.

There is a particular reason why I want to see it in the ports collection:
I've been in contact with the author of sgmltools-lite and he says that he
is not maintaining this package, and therefore he will not be releasing any
new version after 3.0.3 (this was when I sent in a patch to try and fix a
problem with it not using /usr/local/share/sgml/catalog properly). In that
case, it really seems to make sense to use what most other people are using.

>How-To-Repeat:

Here's the patch I tried to get incorporated into sgmltools-lite:

--- utils.py.orig	Mon Apr 26 13:15:15 2004
+++ utils.py	Mon Apr 26 13:22:29 2004

+		subfile = curdir+subfile

 	    if retval != None:
 		return retval;
 
and here's the response I got:

Hi Brian,

SGMLtools is not being maintained anymore, at least not by me. So I
cannot use your patch to create a new release.
