Thread: [DOCS] [Patch] PDF builds on Red Hat for <= 9.6
Hi, Every time I install a new laptop, I lose a few hours while building Postgres PDFs, because of some missing packages, so time to send a patch. Attached is a small patch that updates docguide.sgml, and adds two missing RPMs. We don't need this patch for >= 10.

I don't doubt Devrim's conclusions are good for recent Red Hat releases, but we might want to add some weasel wording saying that the required package set has moved around. Personally, my longstanding habit has been to select the "Authoring & Publishing" package set when installing any new RHEL or Fedora box, and as far as I can recall, that's always Just Worked for building PG docs. Maybe we should mention that strategy as a preferable one. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

This will install extra packages, which are not needed, but given that very few people will install this set, I am fine with this solution.
