Just to chip in another thr'pen'th, I thought I'd point out that, after DJ
had pointed me to Thomas's patch (I need the 32-bit for an attempt to
install Xen) I found that it nearly applied cleanly to the "vanilla" 8.3 SVN
sources as well and that all I needed to do to see it apply cleanly was to
remove some comments in the XML which I assume got removed once
things moved into the development series?
With that in mind I wanted to say that I am often surprised by the number
of XML comments there are still in those "release tag" SVN sources.
The one other thing I noticed is that there must be some automatic
re-formatting of the XML going on (?) after changes are made, in that
a couple of the patch chunks only failed to apply to the vanilla 8.3 XML
because the context lines didn't match after a line had been wrapped slightly
differently.
In order to generate some dumps of the <screen><userinput> sections
for my own purposes (see previous postings) I ran the following against
XML sources that had been patched with Thomas's patch and saw
$ make ARCH=multilib all-but-pdf

but the patched book was generated as expected, however I was wondering
why the "systemd" patches were being referred to given the
"Adjusting for revision sysv..."
line.
Is that just an atrefact of doing a "fuller" make that just a
rendering of the HTML
or something actually missing in the "development" XML sources ?
Looks like I will have to go back to a full redeployment though, as I see that
the Chapter 5 utilities now have some 32-bit stuff in, whereas my modified 8.3
Chapter 5 didn't.
I also note that Thomas's patch adds in ISL to the GCC Chapter 5 build: is
that needed for the Chapter 6 32-bit builds (which also have ISL) or just a
"nice to have" addition ?
