Murray,

please turn off the the html-via-xsltproc generation on www.gnome.org.  It is
broken beyond belief.  Any update on www.gnome.org takes 4-8 hours
to take effect because of this.

Here's a sniplet from
gnomeweb-wml/www.gnome.org/start/2.12/press_release/Makefile.am:

html:
       @for docbookdir in $(DOC_LINGUAS_PLUS_ORIGINAL); do \
         echo "Generating html for language: " $$docbookdir; \
         rm -rf $$docbookdir; \
         mkdir $$docbookdir; \
         echo "Running xlstproc on: " docbook/$$docbookdir/$(ROOTDOC); \
         xsltproc --xinclude -o $$docbookdir/unused.html.ignore \
           --param yelp_max_chunk_depth 1 \
           --stringparam admon.graphics.path ./images/ \
           --stringparam http_root http://www.gnome.org \
           --stringparam http_prefix /start/2.12/press_release \
           $(STYLE_PATH)db2html.xsl docbook/$$docbookdir/$(ROOTDOC); \
         echo "  xlstproc finished"; \
         for i in $$docbookdir/*.html; do \
           perl -p -i -e 's,<p class="section"></p>,<p class="section">Sections
</p>,g' $$i; \
         done \
       done

I.e., this is done twice for every change anywhere on www.gnome.org.
("make" and "make install".)  At the very least this should be made
to do nothing unless some of the source files have changed.

Thanks,

Morten
