Our gen-special.sh transforms a dependency on compound packages
(xorg7-*) on a dependency on the list of packages. This generates
a lot of trials when removing circular dependencies, because if the
dependency on xorg7-* is optional, all packages in the list are tried
in turn, while it is sure that anyway the dependecy must be eliminated.
If the dependency is only on the last package, the circular dep
is eliminated at first try.
gen-special.sh uses the list of files and md5 from the
cat instructions to generate an xml page for each of
the individual components. Until now, there were no commented
out component, so gen-special.sh was not prepared to handle
comments. Now, it removes lines containing comments.
In the xorg application, mkfontdir is commented out, but we did not
check that because it was complicated with the shell. This was
leading to mkfontfir appearing in the packages to install, which
is not wanted. We use the information in the "cat" command to
eliminate the commented out package.
- allows xorg-env to be a dependency although it is a sect2 id
- remove the ban on xorg-env in dependencies.xsl
- directly call the template mode="normal" for modules, since there are
no special cases in this case.
- treat all sect1 s, even if they do not have a xreflabel.
