I'm in the process of re-building some parts of my gnome installation and have encountered a strange thing, and thought I'd ask if this was happening to anyone else, before I submit a pr. Not sure that a pr would help, in this case... What's happening is that most of the gnome doco gets processed by xlstproc, because it's DocBook XML of one form or another. What is happening to me is that I get errors like this: error : Operation in progress http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/dbcentx.mod:64: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/ent/iso-amsb.ent" %ISOamsb; ^ Entity: line 1: %ISOamsb; ^ Pointing a web browser (epiphany in my case) at the file in question finds it, no trouble. Re-running the make also proceeds past that point, so the fault is clearly intermittent. I'm on a good cable internet connection, and run a local DNS cache, so I can't see why I would be having a problem here *unless* the www.oasis-open.org site was actually under some stress, and dealing with it by killing connections. Is it? Shouldn't these DTD files be installed on the local system by the various docbook-* ports (which I have)? If everyone in the world has to hit the Oasis site whenever they want to format a document, that would seem to be a strategy with a scaling problem... Cheers, -- Andrew
