All,
I see the following when running bootstrap.py
SCons import failed. Trying to run from source directory
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

looks like you ran all the single SConstructs in the "doc/*" folders
before. So everything is up to date...
Also I had to install the following (on ubuntu 10.04)
sudo apt-get install python-libxml2
python-libxslt1 python-epydoc fop python2.6-dev
That's what I would have expected...
Note that without the proper tools installed the build failed
complaining about scons.1 missing.
Would it be possible to allow bootstrap.py to complete skipping the
parts which won't build due to missing tools?
I don't remember if that's what we did before.
Before this, there were checks for the single command-line tools like
"jw", and several others.
I can add a check to the main SConstruct, trying to import the
lxml/libxml2 bindings and skipping the docs if none of them can be found.
Also, probably a good idea to update: bin/scons_dev_master.py to have
an updated list of tools needed would be great.
I'll correct that, based on the list for Ubuntu above...

What would be the advantage of this then? Sorry that I have to ask,
but some of the XML files use hard-coded paths to include the
generated lists of tools and builders, for example. That's why this
task might not be trivial...
I'd also like to still be able and simply call SCons from the
"doc/user" or "doc/man" folder itself, while editing documents.
Seems reasonable that the build products would go in the build dir.
I believe that's been the case up to now.
Typically when I'm working on such, I may do a rm -rf build, and then
rebuild to make sure the clean build doesn't have issues.
I see the point and will try to rearrange things a bit. For keeping the
same level in the folder hierarchy I'd like to install the doc sources
to "build/doc_src_man" and "build/doc_src_user", respectively. Would
that be okay?
