make-qbook script is busted #82

Open rpgoldman opened 3 years ago

rpgoldman commented 3 years ago

It uses old ASDF stuff that is no longer supported. Notably, it stashes an attribute in to op instance. Also qbook itself may be abandoned and bit-rotted. It seems to use deprecated stuff. Last patched 8 years ago. 👎

Don't know if it would be easier to fix qbook or just use something else.

You're right: qbook is abandoned and nobody else is using it, so I should find the time to convert the documentation to something else. Soon.

I don’t know if it helps, but I have been using SB-TEXINFO….

I looked into this more today, and it seems like the qbook issue is a trivial problem -- there's a place where qbook makes assumptions about the structure of the document that aren't satisfied by FiveAM. Specifically, qbook assumes the first documentation item will be a header, but it encounters the mode line of fiveam.asd first instead, raises an error, and fails.
