I ran into this when I wanted to provide a patch for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495470 and test whether the tarball in fact contained the missing file. README_DEVELOPERS says: <quote> If you only want to test whether the generated tarball is complete and runs regression tests successfully, building documentation is not needed. make dist BUILD_ALL_DOCS=no </quote> I run ubuntu 22.04 which does not install xsltproc by default. Not sure about other distros. I think it should be possible to create a tarball without having xml machinery installed. Building documentation is not a frequent use case because of the pain involved (at least it used to be). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
