• Bug#1107349: pbuilder: Please do not build from ldp-docbook-xsl any mor

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 6 08:10:01 2025
    Source: pbuilder
    Version: 0.231.1
    Severity: important
    X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian XML/SGML Group <debian-xml-sgml-pkgs@alioth-lists.debian.net>, ldp-docbook-stylesheets@packages.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

    Hi,

    I intend to file a removal request for ldp-docbook-stylesheets since

    1. Obsolete and Unmaintained
    2. Superseded by Modern DocBook XSL
    3. Redundant Functionality
    4. There are better Alternatives for Custom Styling

    Pbuilder is the last package (Build-)Depending from this package. I've provided a MR[1] which drops the Build-Depends which would remove the
    last dependency inside the archive.

    Since we are currently in freeze I do not expect you to upload this MR
    before the Trixie release. However, it would be very helpful if you
    could do so quite in the beginning of the next release cycle.

    Kind regards and thank you for maintaining pbuilder
    Andreas.
