I'm not sure what you mean by "and the development release patchset against them", never heard that term used for Linuxcnc... If you use the Git repository to get the source what ever branch you clone will be the most current for that branch. Complete instructions for obtaining the source is on the Wiki.

John

Yeah, I see that now. I'm really just getting up to speed on the repositories.

So is it correct to assume that the Stable 2.5.1 release is the v2.5.1 tag of v2.5_branch? I see that the current pulls are the rolling patchsets past that point.

Don't know if I should start a new thread on my building problems, or indeed if this is the correct forum catagory for them.

But with the latest pull from v2.5_branch I am still having problems with bad asciidoc text breaking my build. Here is the latest build-crash:

Is there some missing dependancy or missconfiguation that is breaking the pdflatex step of the document build? The German document that preceeds the Spanish docu processes fine???

Thanks

It might be expedient to not build the docs?

Yes, but curiously non-trivial. As I posted above in #22854 linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/component...mit=6&start=12#22854

====
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

I found the easiest solution was just to throw the offending input files overboard.

sixis@sixis:~/linuxcnc-v2.5.1$ cat docs/src/empty-doc
empty doc
sixis@sixis:~/linuxcnc-v2.5.1$ find docs -name *_??.txt -exec cp docs/src/empty-doc '{}' ';'


After that everything builds
====

The bigger issue is the 'scary delta' between my build and the build-bot's.

I mean, if my build configuation can't build the docs cleanly, what else does it silently goof?

I will investigate further after my day job.

Thanks and regards

I've looked at this several times now, and narrowed the issue to the difference between the 'texlive' packages of Debian and Ubuntu, without finally finding a solution for discrepancy.

Rather unfortunate, but tossing the offending files overboard, and installing the buildbots documentation packages is a sufficient and timesaving workaround.

I'll just have to wait until the documentation developers are faced with this same problem on the next Ubuntu TeX upgrade cycle.

Cheers

I found out why the documentation was not building for me on Debian-Sid.

Up until now I have not been able to build the documentation packages within the 'v2.5_branch' git pull.

I have found that the problem is caused by invisible utf8 character in the v2.5_branch/docs/src/gcode/gcode.txt file.

And ... voilà!

I don't know why this has been working on Ubuntu, but with the above fix I can build the English docs on Debian. Finally.

I'm still "empty string" padding the source texts for the internationalized docs, as they too are full of utf8 goofyness.

Debian's dblatex is more strict about these unexpected character sequences. I wish someone could say how to make it relax.

John

The offending character is the HEX pair 'c2 a0' masquerading as an ASCII space, or HEX '20'

An unicode non-breaking white-space character.

According to the 'diff', it occurs on lines 647, 658 and 1384 of the file v2.5_branch/docs/src/gcode/gcode.txt

And probably elsewheres. I've only checked the English documentation.

That character breaks Debian's asciitext implementation.
