Follow-up work arising out of the council meeting:

• Set up and tested a working build environment (here documented because I'll have to do it at work too):
  • Setting up repo:

    gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net --recv-keys FEA4973F86A9A497
    sudo apt-key add ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg 

  • Add to /etc/apt/sources.list:

    deb http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/binary ./
    

  • Installing packages:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install psgml xmlstarlet debiandoc-sgml linuxdoc-sgml jing jing-trang-doc libjing-java rnv texlive-xetex
    sudo apt-get install trang-java tei-p5-doc tei-emacs saxon nxml-mode-tei tei-p5-xsl  tei-p5-xsl2 tei-roma onvdl
    

  • Removing gcj to avoid confusion (advice from here):

    sudo apt-get remove `apt-cache search gcj | grep gcj | awk '{print $1}'`
    

  • Checking out the source (in home dir):

    mkdir tei
    cd tei
    svn co https://tei.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tei .
    

  • Test-build of the source:

    cd trunk/P5
    make
    

    Doing this for the first time, the main build was fine, as were most of the tests, but some tests towards the end threw up errors; I'm not sure yet which of these errors might be significant, and how to find that out or do anything about it.
• Went through the minutes from the meeting and gave a bit of feedback.
• Did some reading around in the source code to prepare for my first edit.
• Posted details of my planned edit on the relevant ticket to get feedback before making any actual changes.
