here is a suggestion, check previous kernel builds to see if they have
started to fail, if not then the problem is isolated to the current kernel,
else something has been brokien elsewhere

Subject: kernel build failures.
The kernel build started failing a few days ago, but due
to the holidays, I only just got around to looking at it.
Here's how it's failing..
+ make mandocs
DOCPROC Documentation/DocBook/wanbook.xml
MAN Documentation/DocBook/wanbook.9
xmlto: input does not validate (status 3)
/builddir/build/BUILD/kernel-2.6.25/linux-2.6.25.noarch/Documentation/DocBook/wanbook.xml:3:

I believe what's happening here is that the builders don't have access to
the internet,
so it's failing to download the DTD. This has been the case always
though, so I'm
not sure why it started failing now. Perhaps xmlto only recently started
trying to
retrieve the DTD ?
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this.
I could just add a copy of the dtd to cvs, and edit the .xml files
to point to the local copies instead of trying to retrieve online ones,
but this sucks because
- it's one more thing to keep track of to make sure it's kept up to date
- it's one more set of patches that we'll perpetually have to carry
against
the kernel that won't go upstream.
The only other alternative I see is to stop building the man pages, which
also
sucks, given it was a fairly recent (and worthwhile) addition.
Any thoughts?
Dave
