--- Begin Message ---Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear release-notes maintainers Thanks for your work in the release notes for every Debian release! The script that automatically builds the release notes for the Debian website throws some errors when building the release notes in PDF format. Those errors appear for any architecture except armel and any language, for the jessie release notes. The errors are of the type: --- Build stdin.pdf xelatex failed stdin.tex:292: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. stdin.tex:292: leading text: \end{description} Unexpected error occured Error: xelatex compilation failed Makefile:214: recipe for target 'en/release-notes.amd64.pdf' failed --- I've checked the "stdin.tex" generated file, did some tests, and probably the culprit is this: file jessie/en/whats-new.dbk <variablelist> <varlistentry arch="armel"> <term>Support for iop32x was dropped</term> <listitem> <para> On <systemitem role="arch">armel</systemitem>, support for the iop32x subarchitecture was dropped. Other <systemitem role="arch">armel</systemitem> subarchitectures continue to be supported, including ixp4xx, kirkwood, orion and versatile. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> The above code produces this LaTeX output: \begin{description} \end{description} in all the architectures except armel, and then xelatex complains about a missing \item inside the {description} block. I searched for similar paragraphs in the dbk files and found this: file jessie/en/installing.dbk <variablelist> <!-- The following empty paragraph purpose is to unb0rk the build until real material get committed --> <varlistentry> <term><!-- Empty Title --></term> <listitem> <para> <!-- Empty Paragraph --> </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> <!-- new in Stretch--> <varlistentry> [...] I'm attaching a diff for the file svn.debian.org/svn/ddp/manuals/branches/release-notes/jessie/en/ that adds a similar empty paragraph to fix the issue. Please merge it if you find it useful, and I'll check the logs of the subsequent website builds to see if the error dissapear for jessie/en. If yes, then I would try to produce another patch for the rest of the languages.

--- Begin Message ---Hello again The patch works: the release notes for jessie are being built correctly during the website build scripts. I see there is no need of more patches for other languages, since those are handled via .po files. Hence closing this bug. Cheers -- Laura Arjona Reina https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona
