Hi,
Justin Sherrill and I have created a patch for making the
documentation project compilable with pkgsrc. Right now it
does build the handbook and the arch handbook without
troubles.

You can find the patch here: http://bsdes.net/~victor/dfbsd/

Please, see the readme before!

Part of the strategy here is that instead of coming up with a DragonFly
version of scr2png, we delete the .scr files (screen captures produced by
vidcontrol) and put in .png equivalents. It seems unnecessary to put
logic into the doc build system to convert these when we can just put in
converted files, as it's not hard to produce .pngs.

If you need to build this, the needed pkgsrc packages appear to be
netbsd-doc, libxslt, docbook-xsl, ghostscript-gnu, netpbm, and jade to
generate HTML ('make').

tex-jadetex is needed to generate the PDF version ('make book.pdf').

It produces the web pages fine, however, creating the PDF produces this
error:

I don't know the immediate cause; there may be a package missing that's
needed, or something else. I don't think the .scr file removal could
cause this. I'll test more tomorrow. If anyone else wants to take a
crack at it, please do.

Why do you use tex and not pdftex/pdfetex? I think that creating
postscript-dvi and converting them to PDF is quite inferior to doing it
directly.

Inertia - because that's what the doc build system was using when we
brought it in. Switching to pdftex sounds like a good idea, especially
since that part seems to be where we're having trouble.

The 'DocBook -> whatever' process has become more simplified as more free
tools have matured; the doc framework could use some updating.

I've updated the patch, it should work now. It's the same URL.

My current objetive right now is making it work. When that is done we
could try to improve it, but the first step is making it work with
minor modifications.

I noticed that the FreeBSD version of share/mk/doc.docbook.mk has a fix
for it - is that where you got this? If so, did you bring up the other
updates in that file?

In the last change i've just added some environment variables so that
tex utils can find the fmt files and changed pdflatex for pdfetex
and tex for etex.
The part of using etex instead of tex yes, it's from FreeBSD. The
part about environment variables is mine.

I haven't noticed if there were any other updates. So no, I haven't
imported the rest of the updates.

Fixed with changes:
