GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 675007
parse="text" XIncludes cause make check to fail
Last modified: 2020-03-03 18:35:36 UTC
Specifically, any XIncludes not listed in in DOC_INCLUDES or DOC_PAGES, however non-xml files should not be listed there as it will break translation process (as per irc conversation with shaunm). The error was discovered while running "make check" in gnome-devel-docs. Adding <xi:fallback/> as the content of <xi:include> element caused make check to be happy.
1) I'm not setting the path correctly with --path. 2) Even if I were, libxml2 doesn't pick that up for text XIncludes. See bug #552479 3) Even with that fixed, xmllint's resolver is really wonky with relative paths. It just drops the entire path portion. I'm pretty sure I know why it does it, but it's wrong, so I'll need to fix that too.
gnome-doc-utils has been superseded by yelp-xsl, yelp-tools, and itstool. gnome-doc-utils will not see any further development, hence closing as WONTFIX. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/255
