Sounds good. The issue at the time was with xmlto older than ~ 0.20. It was known that 0.18 didn't work, which affected both openSUSE 11.2 and CentOS 5, as reported in https://lore.kernel.org/git/m2hbs85koj.fsf@xxxxxxxxx/ and the following messages). I wish I'd have included the details on which xmlto versions were affected in the commit message. The project was managed in SVN at the time and I can't (easily) find the source older than it's import to git around 0.21. Not that it's important. It was already rather old versions of xmlto which were affected -- in 2009. Thanks, -- Todd
