The Debian New Maintainers guide PDF renders incorrectly -
It shows =1sp where it is supposed to show ` - See

http://www.gusnan.se/debian/evince_problem.jpg

for an example -

My example shows it in the Evince viewer, but it is reported to be the same on
Acrobat Reader - see

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/03/msg01407.html

for discussion on Debian User List.

This affects the version downloaded from

http://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#maint-guide

but does not affect the ones packaged in Testing or Unstable.

Thanks Andreas for your report.

Indeed, it affects only the version made available on the website (which
is built from fresh SVN at each website built)
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/maint-guide.en.pdf

It is due to recent use of <files> tags in maint-guide, after the
release of 1.2.15 in sid, in svn commit:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ r7113 | osamu | 2010-03-14 11:16:28 +0100 (dim 14 mar 2010) | 2 lines Chemins modifiés : M /manuals/trunk/maint-guide/maint-guide.en.sgml reorganized section and added tags ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - <chapt id="dreq">Required files under `debian/' directory + <chapt id="dreq">Required files under <file>debian/</file> directory As this tag is legal and rendered correctly except in the index, it's certainly somewhere in debiandoc2latexpdf or 'deeper'. @Osamu: do you want only the sid version to be published on the website only ?

Hi,

Yep, I see it too.  But printed pages and page itself on screen seems
OK.  It is only on side-index pages.

sid version also has some problem

   6.5 Including orig.tar.gz for upload

(Since I was not complete, it is not as much affected.)

It is likely bug in pdf generation from latex source.

Hi,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574353

Since debiandoc-sgml tool still has this problem reported, I am keeping
this bug report here as minor bug.  But the oroginal issue on
maint-guide has been resolved by moving it to XML.

Since resolution of this PDF generation requires deep poking into LaTeX
code which is not worth the effort for this deprecated tool, I will not
be able to fix it not willing to do so.

Patch welcomed.

Osamu
