I'm about to update gimp, but there are a couple minor editing issues
I'd like opinions on.
The only real changes in the package that manifest on the book are:
* GIMP now uses the external web browser by default for help, and
mozilla is the default. I've added a command to set a <replaceable>
browser in the system gimprc.
* gimp-help no longer provides pre-built HTML. It uses xsltproc to
generate the the pages. It takes a long time. 9 SBU by my
calculation if you build all the languages.
My question relates to generating the gimp-help pages. Now, libxslt
is required to get the help pages. Should this be noted in the
dependencies? Right now I just have it in the area near the gimp-help
instructions.
Also, it looks like you can build a smaller subset of languages by
passing ALL_LINGUAS="..." to configure. The list of available
languages is "cs de en fr hr it nl sv zh_CN". I didn't test this.
Should it be mentioned?
The relevant (non-spellchecked) part of the diff as it stands is below.
Thanks for any feedback.
