[OpenJade-users] correct opensp branch?

[Jessica P. H. <jes...@pr...>]

I have been asked to fix a couple of small OpenSP bugs (for the curious,
I've attached the request below). What branch should I be working on?

Thanks,
Jessica

However, the generated entity declaration files are a bit iffy.

* The external entity declarations generated use the same system
identifiers as the original SGML source (which in my case do not have a
file-extension -- they are just 3 character strings). That is fine, but
for some reason all my generated XML files have acquired an ".xml"
suffix, so they are no longer correct. For example, the input was
<!ENTITY fooDoc SYSTEM "text/foo">
and the output is the same. But the converted version of the file is not
in "text/foo", it is in "text/foo.xml"

* the internal entity declarations generated are syntactically invalid.
For example, where my input had
<!ENTITY foo SDATA "[foo]">
the DTF file has
<!ENTITY foo [foo]>
Some quotes would be nice...

Onward and upward!

opensp_1_5_branch.

Everything from that needs to be moved into HEAD (I think there is just o=
ne=20
commit from Nick Kew on HEAD that I've forgotten to move across).

So bugfixes, definitely 1.5 branch. New features would be HEAD..=20

Excellent. Thank you!

Of course autoinit.sh informs me that I need to upgrade autoconf to 2.53
or so. I am reluctant to do this; I did it last time I was working on
OpenSP, and I remember it being a real hassle.

I tried downloading the tarball, copying conf* over from it into my
development directory, and running ./configure and make. configure didn't
complain, but make did:

...
config.status: creating po/POTFILES
config.status: creating po/Makefile
[jphekman@localhost opensp]$ make
Makefile:540: warning: overriding commands for target `install-man'
Makefile:246: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install-man'
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu Makefile
automake: Makefile.am: AM_GNU_GETTEXT in `configure.in' but `ALL_LINGUAS' not defined
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Any ideas? Do I really have to upgrade autoconf?

Thanks,
j

Only if you want to recreate the configure stuff.... you should, generall=
y, be=20
OK with the pre-generated one from the tar ball - unless you are changing=
=20
something in the configure.in script itself, or adding something=20
new/fundamental to the build process. (Although something in the makefile=
=20
seems quite keen on re-running autoconf...)

However, 2.53 is quite old and well established now...
