Description Matthias Klose 2008-02-29 21:52:51 UTC 
gstreamer + plugins still has a build dependency on PyXML / python-xml for building the documentation. The docs currently are not built anymore on Fedora, and I'd like to get rid of the python-xml package for Debian and Ubuntu too. Any suggestions? Did somebody try to use 4suite as a replacement?

Ok, this patch converts the little part that uses pyxml to xml.dom.minidom and adjusts the configure check. xml.dom.minidom is available since python 2.0 and we require python 2.1 anyway.

I should probably add that my python is very bad, this works but can most probably be optimized or made much more beautiful ;)

        * m4/gst-plugin-docs.m4:
        * mangle-tmpl.py:
        Don't depend on PyXML and use only XML modules that are shipped
        with python. Fixes bug #519635.
