Sourceforge unreliable

[frederictobiasc]

Hi,

I encountered issues building spandsp, a library using docbook, because sourceforge has difficulties to provide the stylesheets from the docbook-project, for instance http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk-common.xsl

An error has been encountered in accessing this page.

1. Server: docbook.sourceforge.net
2. URL path: /release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk-common.xsl
3. Error notes: Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
4. Error type: 403
5. Request method: GET
6. Request query string: NONE
7. Time: 2021-03-31 13:15:28 UTC (1617196528)

Reporting this problem: The problem you have encountered is with a project web site hosted by SourceForge.net. This issue should be reported to the SourceForge.net-hosted project (not to SourceForge.net).

If this is a severe or recurring/persistent problem, please do one of the following, and provide the error text (numbered 1 through 7, above):

I'm not able to duplicate this error. I can run this command without failure:

xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk.xsl mybook.xml

Can you provide more details for how spandsp is calling the stylesheet?

Alternatively DocBook stylesheets can be now used directly from DocBook CDN, e.g.: https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk.xsl

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

It seemed to be some kind of caching issue on sourceforge's end. I ran the build several times, and each time, the number of failed docbook-styles downloads diminished.

Can you provide more details for how spandsp is calling the stylesheet?

I noticed the problem in the output of the build process of spandsp. I opened an issue at their end as well: freeswitch/spandsp#26
