Subject: I'm trying to set up docbook-tools...
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 06:36:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200007041511.LAA15779@snark.thyrsus.com> (raw)
I'm trying to set up docbook-tools, and finding it a hideously
frustrating experience. Why does all the SGML software and
documentation in the world read as though it was carefully designed
to prevent any actual document production from getting done?
The < http://sourceware.cygnus.com/docbook-tools/ > page directs me to
< ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com:/pub/docbook-tools >. That server is
perpetually swamped. Going to one of the mirrors, I find a
docbook-3.1-5.noarch.rpm, but it does not contain any of the db2*
scripts referenced on the DocBook page. Where are those scripts?
