Hello, all of the ugly changes (save for the Gnome and KDE chapters) are
complete. The actual content is not ready for systemd, but both books
build, validate, and pass combined validation (using xmllint to create a
single xml file with the contents of both books). You should notice
almost no changes in the SysV book (there was one title change in D-Bus
-- which is one of the few pages where the source changes were
plentiful, most will not be anywhere near that big. There also should
not be any more big changes at this point (until the 'missing' Gnome and
KDE pieces are brought back for systemd). The files are pretty much as
they should be when the merge is complete.
If you need to validate quickly for pages that are excluded from one
book or the other, Bruce suggested (similar to) this:
$ xmllint --nonet --noent --xinclude --postvalid --output full.xml index.xml
$ rm full.xml
$ make
$ make REV=systemd
FYI, the first command above is used by the nightly for the first stage
of the combined wget list (which is why it was suggested for use). It's
a good, quick, sanity check to make sure that there aren't any namespace
clashes between the separate books. That saved me at least a few head
scratchers - it's not all inclusive for error checking, but much quicker
than rendering the chunked html.
As to getting the content synced (if anybody else would like to assist),
it's easier to look at the rendered books side by side rather than
source in this case. There are some exceptions, xorg stuff that was in
genlib and is in xorg in merged, gnome, kde, and lxqt will be far
different (or non-existent), etc.
Anyway, I think that's enough for tonight.
