But it is also not useful to keep this. As all of the dependent packages lack active users for the last 3 years, and most of them are obsolete.

One or two might be worth saving, and their maintainers can just disable doc building (notified them about this option).

It seems that gnome-doc-utils keeps being broken during runtime, and it still causes build failures in most of its reverse dependencies.

It is confirmed here (EDIT: also here) that @truocolo is Pellegrino Prevete, also known as @tallero.

@patlefort, be aware that @truocolo is, in all likelihood, a different alias for @tallero, former maintainer who did nothing on this package for more than a year.

@truocolo got registered on AUR in December 2023, and almost overnight became co-maintainer on a large number of @tallero's packages. In some cases, @truocolo became the sole maintainer of formerly @tallero's packages.

@tallero has been prone to pushing defunct, nonworking updates on his packages.

I think you might want to consider removing @truocolo from co-maintainers' list.

Found a fix: change doc/Makefile.am to read SUBDIRS = This will disable building docs.

So in PKGBUILD, add 

sed -i 's/SUBDIRS = .*/SUBDIRS = /' doc/Makefile.am

as the last line of the prepare() block

For reference, --disable-documentation isn't a supported option, while --enable-documentation is for compiling xml2po.1, which doesn't use the broken python2 module.

@Hebgs, @nahno, @schnecki, @ragasubekti:

I've tried solving the missing xmlHandleEntity by providing an old version (2.9.10) of libxml2 to the system (see libxml2-2.9 aur package), but I am not sure how to tell libxml2mod.so to load that version instead of default one.

ragasubekti commented on 2023-04-29 13:27 (UTC)

Anyone know how to disable generating documentation phase? --disable-documentation still throws out libxml2mod related error

schnecki commented on 2023-04-16 16:35 (UTC) (edited on 2023-04-16 16:36 (UTC) by schnecki)

The function xmlHandleEntity was deleted from the libxml library, but is only used to compile the help pages. I disabled the compilation of the help pages with the lastest update. Please retry installation with the latest PKGBUILD version.

Hi, Did anyone solve the import libxml2mod issue? Any help is appreciated :) Thanks

I have all dependencies satisfied, yet I am still unable to build this package because of this particular error:
