No compiled book.html in svn 0.25?
Hi,
I tried to install subversion 0.25, and found there's no compiled
book.html in the tarball. Does that mean the we need to compile the
svnbook ourselves from now on, or just our new release manager forgot
to compile it? (no offend. :)

Ohh, okay. I do have xslt and FOP, but in in my wc of /trunk.
I'll fix this next time. :)

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

It's in the releases.txt file already, we just ignored it:
3. Create the release branch, check out a working copy of the
branch, run autogen.sh and ./configure in it. Also, make sure
the working copy contains apr, apr-util, neon, and the Docbook
tools (XSL, FOP).
Paul, just follow the instructions in doc/book/README to get the xslt
stylesheets and FOP running in your working copy. :-)

I also didn't do it because there was no mention of this step in the
release.txt file. What's the process for shipping a tar-ball with
pre-compiled docs? I'll add it to the releases.txt file and try to
make sure this is done in the future if that's the concensus.

I can appreciate wanting the docs local. When I'm using my laptop,
it's usually easier/faster to fire acroread or gv and read the docs
locally, especially if I don't have a net connection. Though, to be
honest, I usually compile the docs myself anyway, now that I know how
to do that :)
Tell me what you want, and I'll try to provide it.

Sorry, the free mail service I'm using upgraded their mail server and
shut down service on the weekend. Therefore I'm not able to receive
any mails until now.

Actually, compiling subversion book myself is fine with me. I'm doing
Traditional Chinese translation (yap, I'm still doing it), and
compiling it is no difficult to me.
The reason why I'm asking it is I tried to update my devel/subversion
port (used on FreeBSD), and it complained about no taget for compiled
book.html. If the port has to compile book.html, it must depend
libxslt and other depedencies.
But you are right, Sussman, that the book is always online. I fogot
the online version of svnbook. Maybe just another fetch command will
solve this problem for good. :)

Honestly, I'm not sure here. Paul didn't compile the book stuff,
because, well, it would have made the release process even *more*
complex.
Notice that the 0.25 tarball is only 5M instead of 7M.... that's
because there's no huge HTML or PDF stuff in it. I'm not sure if
people really expect it or not. I mean, the latest version of the
book *is* online all the time. I imagine the only people that "need"
to compile the book are people who are packing up 3rd party tools
(like the win32 installer, which creates a 'help' file). But they're
already compiling anyway.
