Re: [xml2rfc] New xml2rfc release: 2.3.11

[Elwyn Davies <[e-mail]>]

Hi.

I just tried out 2.3.11.3 installation (after my problems with 2.3.10 
yesterday - tickets 97/98).
Seems to have fixed some of the problems - pip installation now works 
(more or less).
I take it that lxml version 3.x is not kosher for xml2rfc since you 
exclude it now... lxml 3.1beta1 downloaded and compiled Ok yesterday but 
I now have 2.3.6 for use with xml2rfc 2.3.11.x

BTW
the machine here is running
Ubuntu 10.04 on an old ASUS EEE-PC 1000 (Atom processor)
Python 2.6
setuptools 0.8
distutils 2.6.5


Both
sudo python setup.py install
and
sudo pip install xml2rfc --upgrade

work more or less as expected.  There are 3 minor issues;
1. The internal version of the version in the 2.3.11.3 package still 
reports itself as 2.3.11.1 with xml2rfc --version
2. If you don't have libxml2 and libxslt dev packages installed on 
Ubuntu lxml won't compile.
3.  There are still some minor issues with the install... transcript of

Successfully installed xml2rfc

Seems to work basically, BUT found a few slight differences with this 
version.
- centre field in footer is one character leftwards of 1.35 version
- hangindent=15 produces slightly different answers -- more white space 
between label and rest of text
- Reporting a reference not found as an 'IDREF not found' when it isn't 
an I-D is confusing.

Will do a proper report shortly.

Found a problem with an slightly old and very complicated draft that 
doesn't work in either 1.35 or 2.3.11.3 (in similar ways). Probably 
something to do with
<!ENTITY % rfc2629 PUBLIC "" 
"http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/bibxml/reference.RFC.2629.xml">
which used to work when
  http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-irtf-routing-reqs-11.xml was published 
back in February 2009 but no longer
finds a number of the RFC references after the 3 described with PUBLIC 
(which seem to be found) and the rest are described with SYSTEM.

I am away from home and don't have access to an old xml2rfc to check 
that the old draft compiled on the old xml2rfc.

Regards,
Elwyn
