Re: xsltproc segfaults after upgrading to docbook xsl stylesheetsv1.60.1


Nobody was lashing at anybody. So let's stay with this, Larry.

frustrated with a particular package and feel like you'd like to lash out
at someone.

Hi Jeff,


I'm waiting already for more than a month for this to happen. Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated. But despite Robert claiming to take care of this in his initial response you cited below, no update was ever published. All further inquiries were silently ignored. The interpretation of this behaviour and consequences are up to you.

Right now, Cygwin is not usable for XML editing. I recommend switching over to some other *nix and a VM. Alternatively you can use the Windows ports of the xml libaries provided by Igor Zlatkovic. His ports are always up to date: http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/index.html


Disappointed, Patrick

Yes, and this takes the current version from 'old' to 'old + buggy'.
I've upped my priority to get a new release out. Uhmm, end of the week
should do it.

Please, could we/you somehow get xsltproc & associated libs in the cygwin installation repository brought up-to-date? I'm trying to use xsltproc

with


some docbook stuff (we're using docbook to write the next phase of ProjectLiberty specs, and I use cygwin as my *nix environment), and said docbook stuff uses xinclude. The old xsltproc et al included (still) in

the


cygwin install (I updated this morning) barfs on the xinclude stuff, plus

it


doesn't properly handle (eg skip over) included mediaobjects (eg EPS).

The


latest version of xsltproc et al (the various *xml* libs) handles both of these just fine.

thanks,

JeffH
