I installed it locally to build git, but figured a package is better so that the GAR description was not dependent on my 'special' PATH. I'm almost done writing a configure.ac and Makefile.in for it (which I'll kick upstream) so that building the package is doable. > If I recall correctly there were dependencies on XML catalogs > which I was unable to fix. I believe that the git folks did some workaround so that the 8.x series could be used to build the docs for git. This was the source of my proxy question yesterday too. The git build currently stops because one of the xml/xslt tools can't pull down a file from sourceforge to validate the xml domain. > Anyway, feel free to take it over. Sure, I can do that. Maybe I'll have better luck with this than with ruby! :) [I've kicked a report up to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but haven't gotten any nibbles yet. I did discover that solaris 8 is, at best, minimally supported only because it's a POSIX environment...] > Best maintainers are the ones who actually use their packages :-) Eating ones own dogfood is always a good thing.
