[Book] Production problems & suggestion
Hello Subversion book authors,
thanks for providing the "HOW-TO: Compiling the Subversion Book" in
doc/book/REEADME.
Although I followed your instructions strictly, I had some trouble
compiling the PDF version (HTML worked fine):
--- snip --- snap ---
$ make all-pdf
xsltproc \
--output ./book/book.fo ./tools/fo-stylesheet.xsl ./book/book.xml
Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in)
./tools/bin/run-fop.sh . -fo ./book/book.fo -pdf ./book/book.pdf
(Using './tools/fop/fop.sh' for FOP)

Error creating background image: Error while recovering Image Informations (http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/images/draft.png) : Network is unreachable
...
--- snip --- snap ---
This happened when I was offline (I only have a modem dial-up
connection). The first time I tried it, I ended up with a PDF document
without any images.
When I am online while executing this command, the book is produced
including images.
Do you have any ideas what is causing this?
I could not find any reference to 'draft.png' except one HTML file.
Secondly I found that unfortunately the produced book is in 'USletter'
format (we use A4 paper here). I had a hard time to find out how to
change this. Finally I detected that
BOOK_PDF_XSLTPROC_OPTS = --stringparam paper.type A4
in the Makefile seems to do the job. I would like to suggest to add
this line as comment to the doc/book/Makefile and/or in the README.
Best regards,
Guido

Hurm. I have no idea what this is... I don't recall ever having a
'draft' image anywhere...

Well, we've already got
# Book xsltproc options for PDF and PostScript output
# BOOK_PDF_XSLTPROC_OPTS = --stringparam page.height 9in --stringparam
page.width 6.4in
# BOOK_PS_XSLTPROC_OPTS = --stringparam page.height 9in --stringparam
page.width 6.4in
in there, but I've put the line you provided in right below those two.
Committed in r10614.
Thanks,
