+<ahref="https://github.com/namiltd/megactl">the megactl package</a>,
+useful to fetch RAID status when using the LSI Megaraid controller,
+now is available in Debian. It passed NEW a few days ago, and is now
+<ahref="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/megactl">available in
+unstable</a>, and probably showing up in testing in a weeks time. The
+new version should provide Appstream hardware mapping and should
+integrate nicely with isenkram.</p>

- <div class="date"> 5th November 2023</div>
- <div class="body"><p>All the books I have published so far has been using
-<a href="https://docbook.org/">DocBook</a> somewhere in the process.
-For the first book, the source format was DocBook, while for every
-later book it was an intermediate format used as the stepping stone to
-be able to present the same manuscript in several formats, on paper,
-as ebook in ePub format, as a HTML page and as a PDF file either for
-paper production or for Internet consumption. This is made possible
-with a wide variety of free software tools with DocBook support in
-Debian. The source format of later books have been docx via rst,
-Markdown, Filemaker and Asciidoc, and for all of these I was able to
-generate a suitable DocBook file for further processing using
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pandoc">pandoc</a>,
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/asciidoc">a2x</a> and
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/asciidoctor">asciidoctor</a>,
-as well as rendering using
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xmlto">xmlto</a>,
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dbtoepub">dbtoepub</a>,
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dblatex">dblatex</a>,
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/docbook-xsl">docbook-xsl</a> and
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fop">fop</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Most of the <a href="http://www.hungry.com/~pere/publisher/">books I
-have published</a> are translated books, with English as the source
-language. The use of
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/po4a">po4a</a> to
-handle translations using the gettext PO format has been a blessing,
-but publishing translated books had triggered the need to ensure the
-DocBook tools handle relevant languages correctly. For every new
-language I have published, I had to submit patches dblatex, dbtoepub
-and docbook-xsl fixing incorrect language and country specific issues
-in the framework themselves. Typically this has been missing keywords
-like 'figure' or sort ordering of index entries. After a while it
-became tiresome to only discover issues like this by accident, and I
-decided to write a DocBook "test framework" exercising various
-features of DocBook and allowing me to see all features exercised for
-a given language. It consist of a set of DocBook files, a version 4
-book, a version 5 book, a v4 book set, a v4 selection of problematic
-tables, one v4 testing sidefloat and finally one v4 testing a book of
-articles. The DocBook files are accompanied with a set of build rules
-for building PDF using dblatex and docbook-xsl/fop, HTML using xmlto
-or docbook-xsl and epub using dbtoepub. The result is a set of files
-visualizing footnotes, indexes, table of content list, figures,
-formulas and other DocBook features, allowing for a quick review on
-the completeness of the given locale settings. To build with a
-different language setting, all one need to do is edit the lang= value
-in the .xml file to pick a different ISO 639 code value and run
-'make'.</p>
-
-<p>The <a href="https://codeberg.org/pere/docbook-example/">test framework
-source code</a> is available from Codeberg, and a generated set of
-presentations of the various examples is available as Codeberg static
-web pages at
-<a href="https://pere.codeberg.page/docbook-example/">https://pere.codeberg.page/docbook-example/</a>.
-Using this test framework I have been able to discover and report
-several bugs and missing features in various tools, and got a lot of
-them fixed. For example I got Northern Sami keywords added to both
-docbook-xsl and dblatex, fixed several typos in Norwegian bokmål and
-Norwegian Nynorsk, support for non-ascii title IDs added to pandoc,
-Norwegian index sorting support fixed in xindy and initial Norwegian
-Bokmål support added to dblatex. Some issues still remains, though.
-Default index sorting rules are still broken in several tools, so the
-Norwegian letters æ, ø and å are more often than not sorted properly
-in the book index.</p>
-
-<p>The test framework recently received some more polish, as part of
-publishing my latest book. This book contained a lot of fairly
-complex tables, which exposed bugs in some of the tools. This made me
-add a new test file with various tables, as well as spend some time to
-brush up the build rules. My goal is for the test framework to
-exercise all DocBook features to make it easier to see which features
-work with different processors, and hopefully get them all to support
-the full set of DocBook features. Feel free to send patches to extend
-the test set, and test it with your favorite DocBook processor.
