Good point. It's very easy to obtain the DocBook build environment -
just go to our SVN repository and extract the uima-docbooks project.
I think I agree we don't need to "distribute" this at all; just leave it
in SVN.
Are there any requirements for having 3rd party jars in SVN?
Just makes it easy to extract and use, for people who want to run the build.
The Velocity project does it. Currently, the files with "problem
licenses" are
not included, and users have to go get them, as documented in the
README-FIRST.
When I started this I asked the Velocity project if there was a common
repository place where people could get the docbook stuff - it could be
shared by all Apache projects using it. I got an answer that that was a
good idea, but I think it has been too low on anyone's priority list to
get done.
If we do that, it's not clear to me if we even need to distribute the
docbook sources. I suggest we not put the sources into our
"distribution" packages, but just put the results of the html and pdf
builds there. And maybe add something to a "README" that describes all
this, and says if you want to modify the sources, get the uima-docbooks
project from our SVN.
The advantage of putting the docbook sources in our source
distribution would be to eliminate confusion about SVN tags not
matching what was actually in the release (the same reasoning as for
source code).
OK - good point.
