[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: debian-history
Version: 2.19

Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that debian-history doesn't build reproducibly [2].

Some paragraphs in the generated HTML files sometimes don't contain
the correct translation, but the original untranslated text.

It looks like this is always the case when the paragraph contains
a link.  Links in the SGML files are in the format:
  <url id="http://..." name="some name">
But after calling po4a, the attributes in the <url> tag can be
reordered in the po files, so they look like:
  <url name="some name" id="http://...">.
I assume that the translation then no longer matches the original
text and the translation is not inserted.

Regards,
 Reiner

Very interesting.  But this seems to be the 725931 bug for the po4a.

FYI: work around seems to be:

Subject: debian-history is built from DocBook XML/po4a now

Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2018 22:05:52 +0900

Package: debian-history
Version: 2.22

Now, debian-history is converted to DocBook XML with po4a.
It also build PDF/text/epub/html but no PS.
It handles perl sorting issue.
As for /usr/share/doc/Debian, it is not bug.

Considering these new situation, these bugs should be closed.
