We have always been able to generate documentation using Debian. In RedHat
6.2 days it was difficult to generate the documentation on that system, but
Maurice still managed to do it.  I think docbook support is now much better
for modern distributions of RedHat (and SuSe?), but I just haven't had time
to try it. Joao, if you feel this is urgent, why don't you give it a try on
your system now to see how far you can get following the directions in
doc/docbook/README.developers?  You might be surprised how easy it is.

I do intend to look at this issue for RH7.3 within the next month or so, bu=
t
I would be quite happy if someone else beats me to it for that distribution=
=2E
After I or somebody else are successful with RH7.3, we can help Joao with
any of his problems with building the documentation on SuSe (if such
problems still exist).
