285193 - "documentation+pdf landfill" tinderbox is a false green

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect, P2)

Description

[Colin Ogilvie [:cso]]

Despite being green, the "documentation+pdf landfill" tinderbox is actually
failing to produce any builds. This is an install running the generation of PDF
documentation under xmlto, but is not picking up the error message that is being
thrown;

   Error: pdfxmltex (file pdftex.cfg): cannot open config file

This also fails for me at the shell prompt with the same error.

OK, the false green is gone (the error message is caught now), but I still
haven't figured out how to fix the actual error.

I've managed to fix the error, sort of by:

  cp /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg .

to the docs/ folder when I was generating it... it still won't work through
xmlto, but I can run pdfxmltex manually, although that still dies too :(

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=4000].

Resolving this bug as FIXED, although the fix was actually moving to the new
server - but the error in this bug is fixed.
