Ah, so we have hit it before and forgotten.  Might as well stick to the
previous decision then.  Patch applied, thanks!

The restriction is alleviated (patched) by some distributions, and
Gentoo isn't among those.

It has been almost 4 years (the most recent Google has found) since the
last time this happened with PostgreSQL's docs.

I recall us hitting this with Slony documentation.  The NAMELEN limit
lay in the SGML/DocBook configuration that was configured at the
distribution level, so that it differed (crucially) betwen Debian and
Red Hat.

Red Hat used to have a lower name length limit, and while overriding
it was technically possible, it required modifying configuration that
the distribution thought was owned by one of the SGML packages,
and hence the modification seemed pretty inadvisable.

I thought that this restriction was alleviated years ago, so I'm a bit
surprised to see this come up in 2015.  (Or perhaps Gentoo hasn't
yet opened up some limits???  :-) )

Hmm ... that's odd.  I don't see any such failure here, and the buildfarm
members that build the docs aren't complaining either.  What version of
openjade are you using exactly?

> So, I've attached a patch that'll fix it.

I have no particular objection to the patch as stated, but I'm just
wondering if this is the tip of a tool compatibility iceberg we were
not previously aware of.

[HACKERS] Fix token exceeding NAMELEN

2015-05-13 Thread Aaron W. Swenson
Trying to build HEAD and ran into this issue building the docs:

openjade:logicaldecoding.sgml:575:62:Q: length of name token must
not exceed NAMELEN (44)
openjade:replication-origins.sgml:87:67:Q: length of name token must
not exceed NAMELEN (44)

I've tried playing with the flags we (you) pass to openjade, but
couldn't make it override NAMELEN.

So, I've attached a patch that'll fix it.
