That's essentially my point. I've had multiple users report compilation
failures, one of the latest being for Centos 6 [1]. In general, I'd like
Tellico to be compilable and useable for the most broad range of kdelibs
versions as possible. In the code, I use conditional version checks when
I need functions from newer versions of kdelibs. I was hoping for
something analogous with docbook, but there doesn't seem to be anything.
It's quite possible for a user to be compiling Tellico on a machine for
which they don't have root access to manually backport a new docbook
entity and I don't want to force them to build and install kdelibs just
to get Tellico.
Albert's suggestion of manually tweaking the release tarball and replace
the entity is probably the best I can do, I suppose.
Thanks!
