Hi,
some of my collegues found a strange (or better unexpected behaviour)
of the manpage output.
Between 1.75.2 and 1.76.1 the following change was added:
--- /tmp/docbook-xsl-1.75.2/manpages/other.xsl 2009-02-19
19:26:36.000000000 +0100
+++ /tmp/docbook-xsl-1.76.1/manpages/other.xsl 2013-10-21
09:53:07.719215407 +0200
@@ -595,10 +606,11 @@
<xsl:with-param name="message-prolog">Note: </xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="message-epilog"> (soelim
stub)</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
- <xsl:value-of select="concat('.so man', $section, '/')"/>
+ <xsl:value-of select="'.so '"/>
This now leads to broken soelim/ROFF links. For example, if you have a
manpage foo(8) and transform your refentry document without further
parameters and customization, this leads to the following output:
.so foo.8
However, I was told this is wrong and would raise several problems
(security is one of them). The correct path should be:
.so man8/foo.8
After searching a bit, I've found a bug[2] entry in your DocBook
tracker. It seems quite similar.
I've played around and I could get the last output by setting the
parameters man.output.in.separate.dir to 1 and man.output.base.dir to
"". Not sure why this is not the default. Any reasons?
Well, after more searching, I've found a patch in the Fedora stylesheet
package[2] which seems to be from the year 2011. I don't know why it is
not included. This patch does the "right thing" and outputs always the
correct path fragment.
Can we include this patch? Any further background information?
